Santa Barbara to Buenos Aires, and then some...

Loaded the new bags with bottles of water to better simulate loaded weight and set out on a cold windy ride through tight turns and broken pavement. Did the mountain loop around Santa Barbara and within an hour I was able to throw the bike around - but it is getting heavy. Just a few more modifications and its ready to roll south.

Bring a gift, good cheer, and your moto for a lazy ride from Santa Clause Lane to Goleta via Montecito and Santa Barbara. All proceeds go to charity and everybody's a winner at the 20th Annual Santa Barbara Motorcycle Toy Run. Nick via BlackBerry
