Morning update
EU :
Test package made it to the delivery post office. Remaining packages should be out of the US by tomorrow. We are really hoping for this because of the shipping rush that will come next week from black friday.
US :
21 individual chargers are fully prepped for mounting into the pans. I will probably work tomorrow, Thanksgiving, until meal time. I did a full day yesterday but had to have Teruko come bring me home in crippling pain. It was probably the worst since I was able to take off the back braces. I think the Baja made me feel like I was back to normal, but in reality, the team down there was just really good at helping me out. Then when I got back here and was rested up I thought I could just do everything. Sadly... I am still far from fully recovered reguardless how strong I attempt to be. Morgan is the resident Family Chef here at the Vetter ranch as well, so tomorrow he will be on Turkey duty. The Vetter tradition is to eat approximately the weight of your own head on this holiday. This means that after feasting has subsided, sleeping will insue.
NZ :
Morgan has packed a box containing the "Back Breaker Pan" and a new pan for Jef Iken. The back breaker pan is the pan I was wearing when I broke my spine this latest time. It is a rather historic item.
@Brian yes it is most interesting! Especially out in Valle de Guadalupe wine country.
@Sam we did a half baja trip last year, this year we did the baja 1000 and next year provided I am not too broken still, the owner of the baja 1000 offered to make a race class for me. That would be the first ever electric motorcycle to finish the Baja then too! I think maybe the first to even compete. That would be a pretty sick thing to do, back to back historical firsts. Also get this, he (owner of baja 1000 / score organization) said he would even ride it for the first pit 30-50 miles from the start! While I would really like to do an Ironman run (solo rider for the whole race), I think I will need other riders too.
Charging is doable, but really touring the baja beyond the half way point is only for the most experienced of Electric Cowboys. Eric Bar and I made a plan and charging route two years ago. Last year we followed it for the top half of the route, but I quickly realised that the ride was a bit too much for some of the group so we opted to explore the middle of Baja from a home base in Rosarito. We stayed at the hotel where they filmed The Walking Dead Mexico season. Was pretty cool!
