I just arrived in California,climbed the big hills on 80W and still a few more. I carefully limped into Reno today from Lovelock at 45 mph with a steady hand on the throttle to go get a brand new chain,a 90 mile in.
That chain was extremely worn out,i didn't flip the sprockets over, even though I wanted to there wasn't time ,I was working outside their shop.Last edited by grcamna2; 06-26-2018, 12:08 AM.Comment

I arrived at my intended destination of Winters,California last night and the GS ran excellent the entire way out here.The bike really surprised me on how durable it is.
I towed the 4x8' trailer with motorcycle and lots of other stuff on it up many a road and the little engine just kept on pulling. Great bike.Comment

Yah, no major engine failure (rod thru crankcase or anything). Your failures/troubles enroute where rectifyer/regulator, sparkplug caps, and drive chain.Originally posted by grcamna2 View Post
Sounds like you did a lot, and had a lot of folks help you out, In Detroit and along the way.

The total experience has been a BLAST !
I'm glad I replaced the chain, finally,someone had replaced both sprockets with new ones but they couldn't get the chain off because it didn't have a master link.Comment

For my first post here, I just have to say WOW! What a journey! Thank you Bill, for sharing your trip with us and thanks to all the great people who helped him along the way. Faith in Humanity restored. Also gives me faith that my 82 GS750TZ can and will be a great, reliable bike (once I finish sorting out the charging system).Rich

Do tell us more of your adventure. Seems like each day could have multiple stories.Originally posted by grcamna2 View Post
Sounds like you were stranded 2 or 3 times.
I gather that you camped out on side of road or reststops.
Tell us of all the folks that helped you in Detroit and along the way.
