Re: [ST] First trip



Just wanted to send a huge thanks out to everyone for the input and helping
us get ready for our first real trip on the bike.  Now we are just watching
the weather reports.  Right now it isn't looking to good.  And we aren't
planning on taking the bike if it is supposed to rain both days - girlfriend
is worried about getting the cast on her arm wet.

Although we still are planning a trip to Aerostitch and Trackstar while we
are up that way.
