She is running so sweet.
I think she’s in even better shape than when I shipped her to Europe last time. I really want a trip like last time, she was faultless, she only had 2 minor problems, a shorted Alarm wire in Wales and I replaced the Idle Speed Valve in Paris. NO Breakdowns, amazing for a 1 ½ year Tour.
Every thing is all set up. I’ll be shipping her in about 2 weeks. I’ve got a San Diego to London direct flight at the end of May to pick her up in Felixstowe.
Started making reservations, how about 9 days at the Ring, woo hoo.
I am so ready to do this again.
