In Seattle
I made it to Seattle Saturday morning. Picking up the motorcycle was a trivial affair. I just stopped off at the Forwardair Depot, unlocked the shipping crate and rolled the bike out. 10 minutes to attach the fairing, add some gas, and I was on the road. This really is the way to go for hassle free motorcycle shipping
.
None of this would have been possible without the help of Jerry Leitch, the cycle chairman fron the 2002 Alcan rally. Jerry was not coming with us this time, but he took most of his Saturday to pick me up at the airport, and ferry me and my gear around to Fordwardair, I-90 Motorsports, and then to a friends house where I was staying for two nights.
Tomorrow is tech inspection and the rider's meeting at the Seattle times, and the Start on Wednesday at 9:00 at the Silver Cloud Inn (Now a Comfort Inn).
