Got home last Monday, haven't had much time to get on here yet. I am sure the belt that broke was defective. I have about 5000 km on this one with no problems yet. I did come home with out the saddle bags but do not think they had any barring on the problem. All in all the trip was good, 4.5 days out and 3.5 back. It is going to take a while to get the pictures up tho. I have about 100 hours for recording to go through to get anything worth looking at.
I road for an hour then stopped for a break, rode for another hour and got fuel, another hour and a break. Did the whole trip this way. Had a bit of problem with mussels in my neck but that is just from not doing this kind of riding before.
I am sure I will do this trip again but have to pay of the cost of this one first.
Putting on a new back tire tomorrow but this is just from normal ware. I am running Pirelli Diablo tires and love them. handled great on the entire trip.
I will post more when I have time.
