It's official, my trip will begin March 14, 2008. Since it's still a cold hard winter in Northern Michigan, I am choosing Deal's Gap as the fitting and official start of my journey.
For those of you unfamiliar with Deal's Gap, it's an 11 mile stretch of curvy road located between Tennessee and North Carolina noted for it's 318 curves and no road entries. It is also one of my favorite stretches of tarmac east or west of the Mississippi. While it isn't not a dirt road, it is the kind of road that a large GS comes to life on.
As for the bike, it's currently in the capable hands of the service crew at BMW Grand Rapids getting remade for the trip. I have to reiterate, of all the BMW dealers I have dealt with in my travels, these guys are truly top notch!!! Then again, people who shop there already know that!

Please note: I blog when I can and there may be some sizable gaps. Just deal with it!
