Excursion Eve.

Here I am the night before my departure. I've completed the packing and I have a strong feeling that I'm packing just a wee bit too much. Oh well....better to error on the side of caution in this case. The thought of documenting these trials will likely serve as a guide to future excursions (i.e. what not to do).

The Awesomeness: The arrival of my Sena bluetooth SMH-10

This thing kicks butt! Easy install, easy pairing/configuring, and amazing sound and volume. Quality stuff for sure.

The Ridiculousness: The delayed shipment of my other recent purchases:
River Road Durango Textile Pants
Firstgear Rush Tex Jacket

My plan was to wear this gear during this trip (riding of course). But just when I was going to go all out in support of Revzilla as the greatest motorcycle gear and supply  company on the planet, I learned earlier today that my items will not arrive until Monday! After calling UPS to see what the deal was, I learned that Revzilla totally blew it. I paid the extra $20 for 3 day delivery but they never processed it that way. To their credit, Revzilla did refund me the shipping. But the items will unfortunately be waiting for me upon my return. So, to say I was disappointed would be a major understatement. I'll revert back to wearing my jeans (with pads) for greater breathability and my vented leather riding jacket. 

Now, the focus is on my 7 a.m. departure. Should be a nice smooth ride in the morning up to Grass Valley.

We'll update with pics tomorrow evening. 

Here's to a adventurous, safe but thrilling adventure!
