Spot Trace has been working great. Wanted to have something that tells me that the bike has moved, espically when I'm parked at hotels and don't always have an eye on the bike.

Day two....
Smooth ride from Mechanicsburg, PA to Waynesboro, VA...about 3 hours.

Car and trailer is safely behind a gated, camera, storage facility.  Ready to start the Blue Ridge Parkway tomorrow. Heading to Boone, NC.

After a smooth start, most of the day was uneventful, well, except when a trailer strap broke after the rough roads of New York City.

Hobbled along for about 30 miles until I stopped and got a new set of straps. Got some heavy duty 1000 capacity straps. Hopefully these won't break.

Day two will get us to Waynesboro, VA, where we drop off the car and trailer and start the actual bike trip. Only a 3 hour trip today, gives us time to work out the self storage stuff.

This trip will be approx. 10 days on the road. After trailering to Waynesboro, VA, the trip takes us through the Parkway to the Great Smoky Mountains and the Tail of the Dragon in Deals Gap, NC.

Stopping at  Wheels Through Time - Motorcycle Museum 

Mayberry, NC 

and the town of Mayberry

 Andy's Tune

Don't blame me if the tune is in your head all day!

And a couple of days at the Biltmore, in Asheville, NC

When trailering a motorcycle it is important to not only protect from road dirt and grime, but protect the motorcycle from excessive cover flapping that could damage paint on a trip. To avoid this, Geza Gear make a stretch cover that is made for trailering a bike. Geza Gear Pro-Stretch Motorcycle Covers are designed and made in the USA. The motorcycle covers are built to perfectly fit and protect every type of motorcycle.  Every motorcycle cover is cut and sewn from our Patented designs and meticulously constructed from one solid piece of our Patented fabrics to achieve a flawless form fit around your exact bike.

Geza Covers are True Custom Built- meaning they take the exact pattern of your exact year, make and model of bike along with any accessories you may have, and we cut and sew a cover to perfectly fit your motorcycle's dimensions and contours.

This will be for trailering only. Once offloaded, I will use a 'Travel Cover' for day-to-day use while on the road.

After riding many thousands of miles, I realized getting out of New England requires driving through major cities. Boston, Providence, New York, etc. Safety first, I also realized that those major highways were the most dangerous, so trailering made sense to me. The MC10 is a lightweight (400+ lb.) aluminum single motorcycle trailer. Combined with the Road Glide, comes to just under 1,400 lbs. total trailer weight. The open concept, along with the aluminum trailer, will make it an easy tow for my Mercedes GLK350 that has a towing capacity of 3500lbs.

Many options to choose from to memorialize the trip. Ok, maybe I got carried away on the cameras. Not sure which ones I will use at what time, but its nice to have options. All are favorites, the main thing I dislike about a 'adventure' camera is the span of the 'fish eye'. Too much and it distorts the picture, to little and the quality may be compromised. The Hero5 Black is the newest addition. Ease of use, battery life all play an important part of which camera I will use more over another.

Also, when I get old and senile, I can look back at the things I forgot along the way.
