Today we traveled 90-74-270-70. Just shortly after we left Jeff felt something hit his knee but wasn't sure what it was. Within a minute he realized that the speaker cover had come off and was gone. So we headed into Illinois, then crossed over into Indiana. Shortly before we crossed into Ohio we realized that something was on my visor and on Jeff's sunglasses I wiped my visor and realized it was not water but oil. Jeff quickly realized that our shock seal broke and oil was getting all over us and the bike. We pulled off the highway and Randy Graver provided a tank top to stop the oil from getting all over us. We still had about 180 miles to go to our destination for the evening. We stopped in St. Clairsville, Oh to get gas and figure out where we could get a room for the night. When we pulled in we saw Kim had blood all over her hand. Apparently about 50 miles before we reached the hotel something hit her and most likely died. She didn't just have blood on her hand but all over her Jeans. She had hit a bird the day before. Most of the hotels were sold out. We finally found a hotel in Tridelphia, PA for the night. While we were searching for hotels Jeff washed te bike off as there was a car wash right behind the gas staiion that we had stopped at. Once we got to the hotel and got unloaded we went down to the pub in the hotel and got something to eat and drink before calling it a night.
