thanks Chief,

49 I am not liking you ;)....I did arrive all nice and safe. the country side is still  fantastic to ride through, a hockey sock full of hills and curves to keep you awake all the way. I got 188 kms before I had to hit the reserve. But I was running along at 120 for a bit then kept it at 100 for the rest of the day.

now what is wrong with the original seat, I kind of like it, it fits my rather large and wide buttocks comfortably, at 5'11" and 240lbs I can not sit on a small seat like you can. Only issue was I put my pack too far forward and it put me on the wrong part of the seat, thqat will be corrected on the ride home.....going to try to up load some pics now...bear with me....

I hope you have a safe ride, enjoy the weather, even if it rains, (it's all part of the game)  I like the backup plan you have.

We have got to find you a different seat than that one, it just looks ....  wrong....

Other than that, that is a nice looking 800...

I hope everything continues to go well for your sister, .

Later.

   ok so got in touch with the original owner of my new bike (new to me) he said he never changed the chain nor sprockets, but the chain was adjusted everytime he took it in for servicing, and he is going to send me all his bills since he bought the bike....he has them all...cool......
So I am off to visit my sister who is recovering from major surgury, and will use this as an excuse to ride down and visit her. About 600 kms (372.8329 miles) from door to door so a decent ride for a day. Not sure how far I can get on a full tank I have a couple of old camp bottles filled with gas as a back up and part of the highways I'll be on the service stations are far and few between, so it is my back up plan for now. Just hopeing for decent weather, I'll stop and take a few pics along the way .....cheersmy bike all loaded and ready to go
