quick tire update

well i got up this morning and, after finally getting my tire full enough to ride on with a cigarette-lighter air pump, i (very cautiously) made the 25 miles trek to coleman powersports in falls church virginia. yes, that was the closest dealer.

anyway, i got there a little after ten and, as luck would have it, they were actually pretty open schedule-wise. so after getting the rundown, i picked out two brand new tires for my bike. she's now running on metzer Z8 sport-tourers. the guys at the shop were surprised my old ones had even lasted that long.

so i'm just about to get on the road again, just half a day behind. i'm still shooting for cleveland tonight, though it might be a late one. if i need to, i can always catch a hotel somewhere and catch up on my itinerary tomorrow, since chicago is a short trip fom cleveland, and i gain an hour (finally these time zones are working in my favor).

don't know if i'll get a chance to update tonight. depends on when i get in and how tired i am. i am back in business, though, and looking forward to getting back out there!

rftc,

scott
