KZ1000 to San Diego, or 47 yr old Guy on a 36 yr Old Bike

Trip Update 1: Ride to Green River was great up until I passed Glenwood Springs. A slow drizzle soon turned into a driving rain. The new jacket did great and kept my torso completely dry, but by the time I made it to Green River, UT, my butt down was completey soaked and man, it was cold too. Took a hot shower and found out there was no soap! WTF! Hotel 6 sucks. Bike was filthy too and there was some kind of mudslide over I-70 west of Rifle. Riding on mud covered asphalt/concrete in a driving rain on a 550 pound bike with sport touring tires @ 65-75 mph ranks right up there in the pucker factor. The following day, after checking all the radar maps, talking to other people, weighing every factor, watching the flooding in Vegas on the tube, I made my decision... Press on!

Question, was this for a gal, or just for the Black Sabbath tickets....
