Patience is necessary.

Monday August. 10th 2009
Resting on the side of the road. Rode from Hope-Lake Willimas yesterday. 230mi or so. Running now to get to Prince George before the rain. Not that it would bother me much, but there is something wrong with my bike.
Started the other day and has been getting progressivly worse. Can only use 5th gear about 65mph, and really only down hill....with a tail wind. 4th gear is like the 5th used to be in range and power.....ah. I still have about 120 miles before I reach Prince George. There is a Harley dealer in PG. This is about as stressed as I've ever been in my entire life. grr.
Oh, last night when buying some grocieries for dinner, another biker who was also doing to quick lite shopping invited me to stay as his sister's place for the night! That was pretty awesome. Good group of people. He was a miner and had tons of cool stories to tell. Him and his friends are some serious motorcyclists! I hope someday I'm as good a rider as those guys!
