The new Lumix camera seems to work well enough ( Hey Sherm! This one has a setting for Food Pictures!)
The new River Road bags are HUGE, I put two gallons of water in one side and had a ton of room left over. My custom (cookie sheet, $4 for 3) hard mounts are even more sturdy than I thought. I stuffed a gallon of oil in with the two gallons of water and went for test ride. Everything was stable as a table. When I'm done packing my new Riggs pack (also huge) with camping gear and clothes and such, I think I'll end up with one saddlebag entirely empty. I may skip taking the tank bag in that case. Last year the tank bag was handy, but sometimes a pain. Still mulling on that one...
New rear s=disc brake continues to impress me, I don't know how I lived with that drum brake for so long.
New sealed spokes still holding air (Thanx Hal!) so fixing flats just got a WHOLE lot easier.
Laundry and pack for the road tonight. Then it's three long days until I split...
