Almost 1 week before Westerward Ho'ing

Trying to make sure the Wing is ready and maintenance free for this trip. There is nothing worse than using scarce vacation days in the middle of a trip at a high priced garage getting raped by someone you dont even know! Its bad enough getting hosed by a what you thought was a friend (old Bessies Cycle Barn installing my car tire on the wheel -$50.00!!!!!!!!!!!!) but to take it from a foreigner in a far off place (geographically speaking) is even worse! Oil is changed, wheel bearings checked on the trailer, we decided that I need some front brake pads and it would not hurt to change out my brake fluid..front brakes dont stop like they used to. I got some new sparky plugs and need to get those in too. I only wish we had a few more good friends going with us! I think everyone is afraid of the first day long ride...come on guys..it will actually be fun, heck with only 300 more miles we could all get an Iron Butt patch along with the vacation!
