4:30 PM: The boyz started early and made a run to the border! They encountered good weather all the way. Especially loving how the day warmed up as they got closer the the US. It took all of 15 minutes to cross the Sumas border crossing.
They are at Mt Backer Moto-Sports, Bellingham WA getting new rubber.
Big Steve pulling off his tired and thread-bare ol' rear tire.
Both bike awaiting fresh rubber!
This puts them back on I-5 around 5:30 PM. Peak Seattle rush hour. Their goal is to spend the night somewhere between south Seattle and Portland.
Posted in Day 18
As Bruce Springsteen said: Back in the USA, or maybe that was Born int the USA – True for you no matter. Hope the good riding weather did your colds some good. Dean, you are a prince to continue the blog. Just checked your whereabouts on SPOT. As Jan said, you seem to be hanging around in Bellingham – Google street maps indicates you're around a mall area that has not only a Cost Cutter but a Holiday Inn. I tried checking out where you got your tires changed. Google Street view got as close as showing the sign for the Moto-Sports entrance, but you couldn't see the building itself at street level. Just from above.
Have a good night, guys. And you too Dean.
How about THUNDER ROAD. Any more? Steve and JimmyV welcome to the U.S.A. Its your road home BE SAFE.

HERE IS CUT TWO ENJOY. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEgxjHvCcRk
Allan – cut 2 is **GREAT**. I particularly like the 'hollywood spotlights'. With the special effects, transistions & whatever other magic you do, you can see the water shimmering in the sun! Fabulous!
