Shout outs! - #1

There were a lot of people involved in this trip, not just the ones actually on the road. They ranged from the people back home who were involved from the beginning in one way or another, to the strangers we met on the road who shared a laugh, help, or advice. 


As I remember others who contributed to the fun, I will post more. 

Some may see the blog, others may not. But they were all appreciated!

In no particular order, I give you:

My Mom, who has been worried sick the whole time and whom I know has been driving Jehovah God crazy with all her prayers for our safety. He heard you. You can stop now. lol


Seth at Lafayette Power Sports in LA. An awesome mechanic, he had our bikes ready for the road and our Vulcan awaiting our return. He also advised us when we called from Flagstaff, as we figured out what to do about my dead bike.


Justin at Cycle Gear in Lafayette, LA. He helped us get geared up for the trip and gave us excellent advise, even when I called from Flagstaff boo-hooing about my dead bike. And congratulations on the new baby!!!


Pernell at Norhtland Motorsports in Flagstaff. He helped me pick a new bike. No mean feat, since I was sure they did not want to fix my bike just so I would shell out money for a new one. He also offered to hold my dead bike at the shop until I'm able to retrieve it. Lastly, he helped me track down Yamaha shops along our route so that I could get maintenance done through the break-in period. I hope you work on commission!


The airman (?) I met at McDonald's in Benson, AZ, who also rides (I think your last name started with a D). Don't worry, your wife will eventually want to ride. Just start her on something small. Interested in a Yamaha 250 with no engine? Thanks for checking out my blog and drop me a line if you ever head to Louisiana.
