Today is the day before I leave for my trip. It took me about three hours to get everything packed and ready to go and it’s starting to look like I’ve got everything I need. It’s gonna be one hell of a ride.  Found out the stator  failed us and our lithium battery was running at 12.8 V when I needed around 14 V. We managed to get a new lithium battery along with a 195 stator for the KTM 500. Steve Bledsoe was kind enough to put the stator in the bike and go through it one last time before heading out on the Transamerica trail. Dad and I loaded KLR/KTM onto my truck and I’m headed out first thing in the morning to Highlands, Nc. Hopefully everything is smooth sailing!
