So back in town, started out on Monday eve 5-10 at 2200 hrs, drove up the I-5 towards Sacramento and took the I-80 to Salt Lake City, easy peasy, no surprises, and the only thing different from riding with a buddy vs Solo, it is quiet, I still made my gas stops 100-130 intervals, and that was actually comfy for the limbs.
Incorporated a plastic binder with a ziplock baggie taped inside for the gas receipt, and I was organized.
Took a tip from WY88 and taped a paper clip to the top shelf for freeing up a hand and taking a record picture.
Did the first leg about 1146 miles in 19 hrs, and stopped in a hotel, took a nap for 3 hrs, ate some, and talked to family members on the phone, and so it was 1 AM when I hit the road on the I-15 S to Las Vegas.
Knowing that I had plenty of time to complete the task for the remaining miles, it was relaxing to know that.
I actually goofed off a bit more at the rest stops and ended up in several conversations with folks curious as to why I was on the road, on my entire trip I only met 1 other motorcycle on the road, and that was in CA outside of Los Angeles.
So I was the IBA Ambassador, explaining the finer points of this great organization
., at many stopping points, while folks commented on the bike and ensuing conversation.
So at Las Vegas with 1146 miles for my BB at 0700 in the AM, with 3 hrs to spare, I look forward to doing a Silver BB here in the near future.
Thanks for the input you all created, it seems that going Solo is not all that bad as I thought it would be.
