Too early for me to say when I'll be in The Big D, there may be a SS1K on the way back. Dallas is about 1500 miles from Castaic CA / RawHyde.
Except for my ST from GA, that's how my last 2 fly 'n ride bikes got home.
I'll know more after I start Monday morning, RawHyde might actually wear me out.

Have a great ride. Godspeed.
Looks like a great adventure. 
It's too bad we're too far north for you to stop in and have a free bed to sleep in!

I appreciate it, @SupraSabre .
But I fear it's getting too cold to ride to your place for this thin-blooded Southern boy.
And weren't you telling us about... snow?

Mark,
Glad the wait is just about over. I hope the bike is everything you want it to be, you enjoy your offroad courses and the weather cooperates for a fun ride home. Be well and stay safe.
PS: I've seen people ship their gear to Switzerland for $800 - just saying

The Warm 'n Safe heated jacket liner is a game changer. You will wonder how you managed without one. I have both the liner and heated gloves, and love them.
Too bad you couldn't take the gear with you instead of shipping. Looking forward to your updates.

I'll have some, but I'll likely be riding through the night also.
Need to schedule some REAL time off, because there's another longer class / trip I won't have time for. This fly 'n train 'n ride will be a dash back.
Next spring I'll schedule my advanced class. With more time to make it an actual riding trip, and not a whirlwind.
As I've often said, it doesn't take age to retire. All it takes is money.
And mostly I just have the age.
I need to be retired...

Same here got a year and a half to go till I can take my Canadian pension without a hit on the amount. Hopefully still health to ride then. Have a great trip!
My wife is trying to convince me to take my CPP early at 60 as opposed to 65. I think she believes that my life expectancy doesn't make it worth waiting
You lose a far amount of payment taking it early, which your stuck with.
Yeah, I think it's a 35% drop if you take it early

sounds about right
