Stage 6

Myrtle Beach

September 15th   


A note from yesterday and the support crew experience. A tractor trailer flipped on the interstate and the support crews were stuck for three hours. Dorsey said it was the worst wreck he had ever seen. While they were stuck in the traffic, they noticed a truck driver had a monkey for a passenger. The monkey was swinging on the mirror and apparently kissing the driver occasionally.

The run to Myrtle Beach went well. Another day getting all the miles. We hit rain for the first time on the run. It lasted about 20 minutes. Below is a photo of the bikes at HD of Myrtle Beach which was our check in for the day.

Here is a photo of the beach from the hotel. Nope – I won’t get a chance to check it out. There is much to do to get Lucille ready for the road tomorrow and we are out early in the morning.

Shinya is rebuilding his 1915 Indian again – he missed the ride today. This is the action in the garage tonight.

I decided to replace the primary chain as it had stretched a bit. Pre-emptive maintenance.
