Last FedEx with the dealer accessories arrived after lunch, giving me the little flyscreen above the instrument panel and the Triumph-branded tankbag. Threw my suitacse in a UPS box and crammed everything I think I need (and absolutely nothing else) in my new luggage. Left downtown around 4:30. Only way out of NO is by freeway so away we go on the big bridge over the river. Very boring and trafficky ride to Houma, call it a day since its dark. It will get better. Bike is great, but now realize I am limited to 60mph with the 0-300mile break-in rev limit at 5000rpm. Good - all the more reason to stay off the interstates.
Sent off from the crescent city by dogs...first by Magda and siblings at the Gentry House B&B:
And then by Fido at the dealership.

So, what was Gentry house like? I was wondering where you were staying? Glad you chose a B and B. I can't imagine being in a Best Western for that many nights. Your route was the one downside, because I don't remember much about that route I liked. But today, through southern Louisiana, and Cajun country ought to be fantastic, if the sun is out!
