Day 2: Tech Day

We decided on a tech day to prep the bikes. We rode around a bit picking up supplies and getting Connie inspected (she was set to expire at midnight tonight!).

Karl needed a new oil filter, which meant a whole oil change. I also replaced the gear oil in the Transmission. It was burnt. Pretty badly. smelled like hell. Might explain the spotty shifting and the rumbling I've been feeling. Problem may not be the final drive after all.

Some adjustments to the handlebars, and GPS mount, and Karl should be good to go.

Connie hasn't needed too much. ECG had a list of stuff we could do to Connie, but a lot of it seems to be unnecessary, so we're skipping most of it.

Looks like there's a chance we could be seeing a lot of rain for the first 3-4 days. So now we're trying to sort out rain gear and luggage configurations for the bikes.
