On the road at last, or at least in the air. Finally leaving for a trip always feels good because there's no looking back. If I forgot something, I'll live without it. If I really need something I'll buy it. No looking back and worrying, only looking forward with anticipation.
My Coyote bag arrived right as planned last night. I did some packing and unpacking and head turning trying to get everything to fit. It's amazing how much space a tent, sleeping bag and thermarest take up. I'll probably end up strapping something behind the Coyote bag but we'll see how it goes. I ended up packing way more that I had planned but I'll end up thinning everything out before I leave Portland.
Checking in went smoothly. In case anyone is thinking of checking a tire (or two) as luggage, Southwest barely batted an eye. I signed a slip achknowleding that I have to deal with any damage but that's unlikely. If I was in luggage handling I would try playing a oversized game of horseshoes with them.

About me
My name is Megan and I've been riding motorcycles for the last eight years. Everything from a TTR125L to a KTM990 have been in my stable. This blog is to chronicle my adventures. It started with picking up a new to me KTM 690 Enduro in Portland and riding it back home to Phoenix. There was a long break and then I've picked it back up for a vacation to Thailand.
