Here is the hack with the sign I made. I'm all packed and ready to meet Dave Morgan, Frank, and the two Brits, Alex and Martin, in Ukiah, to ride to SF. Dave and Frank put together a pair of KZ1000 police bikes for them to ride coast to coast, and then ship to the UK. Frank rode his new to him Kawi Drifter, and Dave also rode a KZ1000.

This is an overhead shot at the first hotel
Since I had local knowledge, I led a little around the surrounding area; this is at the Marin Headlands where we ran into a Santa Rosa Policebike training ride. These guys were fun and we parked all the police bikes together for this photo op. More later...

.....but the new engine did great! Even running down the 101 in 103 heat yesterday, it was running normally. I got about 35mph on that stretch at 65mph, which I think is good considering how much stuff was packed in the sidecar. The only issue I had was hitting an unavoidable pothole while doing 60, nearly flying off the hack, and losing a chrome trim piece from the sidecar running light. The stem head bearings that I installed before the ride also got a little sloppy, but I'll get to those tomorrow..
