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.

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.

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

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.
