Day 9-10--Kansas City
Second day on the road, was uneventful. Bike ran well at a sustained 75mph and 40 mpg. She is a bit cold blooded, but even still she starts after a bit.
Ended up showering with the final drive vent plug and the extended hot water and soap cleaned most of it out so the least is not nearly as bad. and actually vents.

Location, Kansas City, MO...STATE NUMBER 5

TTL Miles 865
A repost from ADvrider.com...but is accurate and no sense typing the same thing twice
HOLY CRAP was I cold today, shivering horribly, getting sleepy, not thinking straight. I had to stop half way between Wichita and KC at a rest stop on the Rangelands...really nifty environment. Had some hot chocolate and fries at McDonalds (haven't given them business for three years..but had no choice today...freeze or be fed.) I did have a blast with the bathroom hand dryers....such a great way to regain warmth...get some odd looks though when you go through three cycles of heat
Glad my wife brought along my heated jacket. I can deal with cold...but dampness sucks...today was low 40s and drizzle. I had silk thermals, poly-sports shirt, techwick liner, army surplus thick wool shirt, a darien jacket and my neon vest...that and a neck gaitor and silk scarf...still cold. I think I should have had a better breakfast 
Well ended up making it to KC, 280 miles away and Im glad to be seeing my wife. No updates will be forthcoming till Friday evening.
Oh yeah, I found that my website tracking is not working as expected....damn thing. Here is a direct link to spots page to find me
