[QUOTE="Slonishku, post: 861538, member: 19346"] I'm feeling pretty good now. I'm swapping out tires (motorcycle tires, Dale) in Seattle, and I'll be breaking in my Nexus card at the Blaine crossing on Thursday before the rally, checking in that afternoon. So far so good... This kicks the dogshit out of trying to get an RE5 up to speed. I had two RE5s pre-rally. One was the rally bike, the other a parts donor. Due to a last minute bearing/ seal failure on the rally bike, it suddenly became the parts bike a few days before departing for the rally. For the 2009 IBR, the ODO check was the longest ride (by a factor of maybe 4) that I had ever taken on that RE5 prior to the start. I don't know about y'all, but that's a batshit crazy way to go into the IBR in my book. [/QUOTE]
