Well things are progressing well for our USA / Canada trip plans.

Thanks to Robert (Du-Page Honda and Yamaha, Chicago) and nephew Kevin (Louisiana) we now have bikes (sourcing some additional accessories) and bike insurance and registration. I hope to finalise toll tags tomorrow (which will cover interstate / toll roads apart from a few bridges built by local authorities where we will still need to dig in our pockets for some real money). As well as that the GPS map cards I ordered have also arrived and we have measured what we need to on a 950 Yamaha bike at the Traralgon Yamaha shop as far as fitting suitcases and GPS brackets on the USA bikes so things are on track for the next adventure.

I will load the itinerary when it is finalised (only a handful of bookings to go now.)

We have also bought a GoPro camera to capture some video footage …. all we need is some time and ‘brain space’ to figure out how to use / drive it before then …. and have bought another still camera as well so need to find / make some time between now and the departure so we aren’t learning all this on the fly.
