You should get a team to follow you just in case. Put them up in a hotel nearby during the stay...Russ

UPDATE - Mike called about 2 hours ago. He was in Coldwater, MI - about 100 miles away. His clutch cable broke in Indy, so he was riding the highway to minimize gearchanges. I ordered a replacement for him from Jeff - hopefully it gets shipped today, if not it will be here on Wednesday.

By now he should be almost home!

Hey Guys,
I made it, in spite of losing my clutch cable in Indy. It was a total of 365 miles and took me around 6 1/2 hours. I guess next time I'll pack that extra clutch cable. It wasn't bad at all, maybe I'll go to the UP tomorrow.
