it's friday novmeber 3rd. i'm frantically tying up all the loose ends. today i got the final immunizations: teatnus and hep A. got a certified copy of my bike's title at the DMV. told all the credit card companies and banks i would be leaving the country. and now i'm off to the bmw dealer for last minute parts: gel battery, brake pads, xtra tire plugs, extra glue, extra C02, fork guards, gear oil and engine oil.
my reno riding buddies are planning on riding me out on sunday, maybe to the hotsprings in Bridgeport, CA. then onto to the border solo...i'm psyched, scared and excited all at the same time. i hope this is doable solo...i have met some other people doing similar rides on this website and advrider.com, so i might meet up with them in mexico..

otherwise, i'm freaking out. i keep triple checking everything to make sure i'm not forgetting something obvious..

this is my first post in my blog, so sorry for the lameness. they will get better once i'm on the road.
