Burns, OR

 Within 20 miles Larry’s bike started running on one cylinder and clicking. It was the same noise as it had made before so he pulled over. 

Joe went to pick him up and when he got there he was there with his bike and an extra motor alone in the parking lot. Apparently it was pretty funny. I have pictures - but it is not letting me upload them for some reason. 

It was a long day today. 360 miles. It was a lot of straight roads and empty space. Not a lot of civilization. We had 105 miles between gas stops. That is long for these old bikes. We typically stop every 60-70 miles. The starting temperature was 46 degrees and it was so cold!! By the time we ended it was 85 degrees. Talk about how the heck do you dress? My bags were so full of extra clothing.

The rest of the riders made it in. We are grateful we haven't had too many issues. 

When I went in for the night, Larry had just started up his bike. The founders of the transamerican motorcycle endurance run had an extra motor along. They let him use it. So him and Joe spent the day getting it place. When they tried starting it, there was no compression - but they got it figured out and it fired up. Fingers crossed that he can join us on our mileage tomorrow. 

As for the rest we just did minor maintenance. Like me having to adjust my primary chain again. 

I know this is short so I apologize. My pictures won't load. We head to McMinnville, OR. It will take 291 miles. Hopefully we can all get our miles tomorrow as it is the second to the last day! 

I will try to add pictures when I can. We are exhausted. It's go go go all the time. We wake up early, get ready, have breakfast and get to our bikes to get ready to ride. Then ride. get gas, ride. Sometimes pull over to work  on something. Sometimes missing our turns. Then we get to our location - hang out and eat, then we go wrench on our bikes until 8-11 pm. Then we do it all again. 

We can't believe we are nearing the end!
