Shipping the bike tomorrow
Well, it is crunch time. I am shipping the bike tomorrow. And wouldn't you know it, problems always creep up when you have little time to take care of them.
My rally computer, which I will detail in a few days, uses a GPS sensor to measure distance. The GPS was working wonderfully on Sunday, I was out doing some test runs. Tuesday morning I rode into work, and the dam think was not working. So I spent much time troubleshooting last night, with zero results. This is using a OEM sensor from Garmin, so I ordered a new unit, hopefully it will come in tomorrow and I can test it out before the afternoon when I have to ship.
The good news is that since I am shipping with Forwardair this time, I just have to show up with the bike, tie downs and two locks, they take care of the crate. I'll take some pics to show how it goes. Much better then the hassle I went through last time, modding a BMW GS crate, screwing it all together, and then getting it up on the lading dock at work just so they could load it onto the truck. I saved a couple of $$, but it was a big PITA.
