May you not need the 15 deg part, if you find 40 though, you will be happy you have it. You're out 8 hours and I'm already jonesing.

Have i mentioned how bad assed my ambers look? Folks can see them well in their mirrors

Amber is Good. But, what works best is alternating blue and red.

Im up waiting for the sun! My neck is sore as i figure out the pillow thing, and i have had little sleep. Thats on me, not the kit.
Heading for stow oh, where a camp is $18. About 300 mi.

Getting ready for the rain. 290 mi to go!

 

[Sunday Rider]

That’s what I love about the tank bag; the map pocket. Good luck today and hope the rain is light.

 

[John OoSTerhuis]

Following along. Wishing you good weather and safe travels.

IINM, your tankbag is a 4 point, and sloped/slanted. I recommend you simply rotate it 180° so the front of it is now higher than the rear. Makes reading the map easier. BTDT with my waterproof Wolfman bag many, many miles ago.

Thanks. I tried that and got a lot of sun glare, and i dont wear sunglasses. But, because you suggested it, ill experiment. Rhis thing could b pointed sideways and ill still love it! Every bike needs a junk drawer!

Who is the manufacture and what is the model of your fork mounted lights (yellow ones) as they look like they would be a good addition, and they look smaller than what I have seen others use.

Zmoon from Amazon. Around $25. Can be yellow or white (have both LED colors in them)

Uses 3 wires: +12v for yellow, +12v for white, ground (common for both)

I didnt hook the whites up to the high beams. Its too muck for the cars in front of me. Plus, i dont ride at night. Entered ohio. Gas dropped over a dollar a gallon to $3.35. Speed limit went up to 70 mph and the roads dried. Of course, im obeying every law!
These last 100 miles have been hard. Second day on the road and little sleep last night. Found a camp about 45 mi from here, just a tad off route. $18. Gonna go and hope for sleep tonight. The bag and pad were great. Found a few life stressors i couldnt stop thinking about. All is well. Its nice to be back on the road. Will b just outside chicago tomorrow and sleeping in a cheap motel. Then on to getting my kicks!

Hmm…. the map pocket on the Wolfman is excellent, I have not noticed glare except in very rare circumstances. I am short though, was 66” at one time, then less, and now back up to 65” after some donor bone during cervical fusions. Might make a difference, dunno.

Here I am heading to a week of canoeing and fishing in the BWCAW at the MN/ON border.

[Mellow]

You've inspired me... when I'm 66 I'm going to follow your route - however, it will be on an electric hoverboard and I'll have to stop ever 10 miles to recharge and make sure my boi-hazard suit isn't leaking.

 

[Al st1100]

make sure my boi-hazard suit isn't leaking.

just go to the mens room once in a while
