Old bike, old phart, departing tomorrow, westbound enroute to Monterey CA to visit son in Navy at Defense Language School, retrace some old tracks and essentially make a pest of myself all across the U.S.  I'm taking Interstates predominantly - I-80 from Iowa West, 70 and 74 before then.  As far as I can tell, my 29.5 year-old V65 Sabre is ready, and so am I, I think.  At over 2X the age of Slipfighter (my bike), it'll be a challenge.  Last time I did this was 43 years ago, almost exactly. [I left Monterey July 12, 1970 I left enroute to No Such Agency in MD. 

This is "Slipfighter" Highly decked out with reflective tape and decals, about ready to go.  I'm using a SPOT GPS locator/tracker and can be tracked via http://goo.gl/32SNe , once it's turned on.
