so long, Mobile
It's 9 am, the air is thick with fog and visibility is about 1/4 mile, but there's no rain. I'd say the decision is clear..
catch up with ya in Louisiana.

It is through our own human addiction that we take part in activities that make us feel something different than we're used to. By positioning ourselves within the comfort of discomfort and the repetition of change, whether it's designed or coincidence, we find the experiences that remind us of the reasons why we're here. This is an exploration into the mental phenomena of the human experience. Please explore the ARCHIVES at the bottom of this page. kclickenger@c-jr.com

... although its not the most valuable tool you have, (the most important being the quality of your machine and making sure its sturdy and reliable)... trust your intuition!! time and time again, our human ability to foreshadow our situation, to a certain degree has proved to be a positive (and reliable) element in moving forward... at least for me personally.
and this may be irrelevant, but the amount of love and support you have from your friends will most certainly offer guidance when in doubt. sending you positive energy everyday along the way...
you are a beautiful man on a beautiful journey, dude!
love

Now, you know you should have stopped in Pensacola!!! 60 miles away from Mobile.

Dude,
Tried to post the other day, but somehow got nothin'. Anyway, thanks for the invite to join you for the beginning of your journey. Great roads, great people. Be safe. Call for any reason, or no reason at all. Enjoy the Blue Moon if you go that route.

I have thought a lot about your journey and want you to know how extremely proud of you I am. I love you a lot and think this trip is amazing. You almost make we wish I rode so I could join you for a leg. Since that will never happen though, I'll have to settle on waving at you from my jeep.
See you soon!
Love,
Scooby :)
For a guy riding alone so far from home you sure do have a lot of company (in spirit).
Decided to test the sl100's electrics the other night. 6 whole volts - fuck yeah! My volt meter tells me that everything works, but still no light. A closer inspection of the headlight reveals that the inside bulb of the sealed-beam head light is mysteriously broken, how does that happen?
So I run up to Sill's this fine gray morn, and lo and behold - they've got a new headlight, battery and spark plug. All in stock, just for me. Set me back $68 and change, dealership prices suck. Gin-u-wine Honda parts, whattaya gonna do?
I promise I'll document the little sl's progress for you as a diversion from all of that boring "riding across the country/starting a new life" stuff. Stay safe.

To ride or not to ride, that's a rhetorical question, right?
Lose the chain before it takes the sprockets with it. Put the needles in one notch; it'll still be rich WOT, but mid-throttle / cruise should lean up a bit. Do this before you gain much in elevation.
Be Good!

Ken,
I'm your lawyer friend from Weston Hurd. What a cool web site. Congrats on your travels so far and keep up the good work.
I just got back from a trek to Holland, Germany, and Luxembourg with my family (wife & two kids, one is studying abroad).
Be safe on the bike.
Jeff
