One step closer to CA

I am planning on riding to Born Free, then up the coast, stopping in on the Central Coast (pismo) then to SF and on to tahoe, or sacto hills, then home, taking a week to do the trip, anyones welcome to do the ride with us if you want. I will be riding from Southern CA with one of my good friends from KC,MO, (check out The Anchor Motoshop blog). He is taking 3 weeks for his journey....must be nice. I needed to build a sissy bar to hold my gear so I hit up Jared Massic down in Utah County, he is a welding teacher at a high school down in Spanish Fork, they have an array of sick tools, welders, cutters etc... everything. He helped build this sissy bar and I am super stoked on it. Still needs some final welds cleaned up and some tabs bent out for my skateboard, almost done...My lady can now ride in a little more comfort too. To chrome, or powdercoat is the next question. A step closer to CA....I am antsy for the trip.
