September 30 through October 2, 2011 were the dates for the annual ADV Old School Rally in Tellico Plains, TN.  It was a good time even if I did have some "issues" with the bike.  The dealer that had worked on my bike the previous week did not fully connect the ground wire to the battery.  I thought I was going to have to trailer the bike to a dealer but it turned out to be dealer error instead.  I was so happy that my problem was easily solved that I rode out and forgot to latch my Touratech bag lid.  It is somewhere on the highway between Georgia and home!  Oh well, they can be replaced to the tune of $100!!!  Here are some photos from a great weekend.

I am currently planning on making a trip to Panama in the spring. This is going to be a major trip and it is still in the planning stages.  I don't know how many more time I will get out this year but I will try to post monthly on how the planning for the Central America trip is progressing.  Check back or subscribe!  Ride safe!
