In retrospect, I don't think I'm going to worry about it either - I'll 
just put a towel or an extra shirt in there to pad them since I'll need 
those things for a long trip anyway.

Not before the end of the week! Actually I'm still waiting on the title 
for the bike before I can do anything useful with it. I bought it on ebay, 
but the seller figured that he could transfer it to me without registering 
it, and did so just before I got there (I think he could have, but that's 
past now). I had temp tags to ride it over to my Uncle's house, where it 
still sits. He's got my deposit and will get the rest of the money when I 
get the title. 

Unfortunately he was also going out of the country at the time, and had 
his mail forwarded to his sister's who also moved. To cap off a long 
story, the title has not arrived in MD yet such that it can be sent on to 
me. The seller and his sister both are talking to the DMV to see if it can 
be tracked down.

I am still hoping to ride it out this way before the weather gets too 
rotten (snow, ice). I can ride it year round in Seattle so if I can't do 
the cross-country trip I will just have it shipped. 

All that said, I may well take you up on that offer of help. At the moment 
I'm still in the planning stages, and not in a particular rush since I 
don't have the title. I think all I need to do on it is an oil change, new 
chain and frame sliders, all of which I can do at my Uncle's house. I'll 
parts of the 24k service myself when I get it out here, and have a shop out 
here do the throttle body sync and valve check/adj.
