The Journey Begins

As some of you already know I am planning a motorcycle trip to Panama. I am going to be leaving sometime in the next week or so and returning in 5 or 6 weeks after departure. My old (2005 BMW R1200GS) has been having transmission and final drive issues so I have decided to leave it at home and get a new bike. I am going to be picking up my new 2007 BMW R1200GS Adveture today. Once I get it home I have a lot of work to get it ready for the trip.
