(nklr) klr-jetlag?

Hardest thing for me traveling west is, My mind wants to wake at 6-7 am Michigan time, and the farther west I get I stay up longer, Eat meals later etc..
I want to wake at 3am eastern time, and down between 9-12 western (that's 12-3AM EASTERN) and keep waking and sleeping (so VERY interrupted sleep)
Then in a week or two BAM, I'm ALL OUT OF WACK.
Caffeine works for a few days.
(and with Sugar "Issues" the extra Caffeine throws the Sugar processing OFF!!!!)
What do you do for "KLR-LAG" (jet lag) Anyone have any tricks in there tank bag?

I have ditched my body-clock several years ago. Five years of work in
Japan, Australia, New Zealand, D.C., London, Geneva, Grenoble, Abu
Dhabi, you get the idea. Once you do that for a while, you set your
watch to GMT and leave it. You never have jet lag.
My best advice if you don't have the time to do this conditioning
program above is SLEEP ON THE PLANE. Travel at night if you can and
SLEEP ON THE PLANE. Wake up when you arrive and STAY UP UNTIL IT IS THE
NORMAL TIME TO SLEEP WHERE YOU ARE. This cannot be overstated. You
MUST never go to sleep "for a short nap" or anything like that. Stay up
until at least 9:00 PM the first day that you arrive. Also, if you
arrive at night (not the best idea) go to sleep no later than 10:00 or
11:00. Midnight is a bad idea. Get up at 6:00 or 7:00. 8:00 is too
late. Get into the local routine. If you can't sleep, just lay there.
I have spent many hours just laying there enjoying the rest in Tokyo,
Paris, Munich and many more. The next night I am fine. Getting up to
work through the night just prolongs the misery.
I had coworkers who did not follow this advice and were woken on the day
of the most important meeting of the year, from a sound sleep, when the
meeting was two hours old. Not pretty.

Good advice. I worked out of Daytona Beach for 10 years and traveled a LOT.
Was asleep before wheels up and the pressure change woke me up when the
plane descended. Got so I couldn't read onboard anymore cause I was
drifting off.

I'll be leaving for Seville, Spain in 2 weeks. My problem is that I'm not traveling alone. I'm responsible for 17 young people. Makes it hard to relax enough to fall asleep. The longest flight I ever took was Atlanta to Cape Town SA. A French woman across the aisle from me ordered a alcoholic drink, popped a pill and was out the entire trip. I can't do that. Most of the time on these trips, I can't sleep at all. BTW .During the last few years, I've spent 5 months in Spain, I month in Paris and another in Poland. Not one KLR sitting in all that time. Wonder why they didn't market our ride there. They were into dual sports well before they were popular here. A surprising number of Harleys in Europe.
Bogdan,

lane splitting - lane sharing
Posted: Thu Apr 11, 2013 10:52 am
by CHUCK
I ride a motorcycle.
I split lanes it's legal here.
I share lanes it too is legal here.
So do the motor cops where I live.
On the way to work this morning about 7:30am or so, on the road I normally travel on (a two lane country highway, one lane in each direction) there are only a couple safe passing spots, where the center line is not double solid. Traffic is at about 35 mph and I am waiting for that legal passing spot to lane share on the inside (dashed line at my left foot, car at my right side, again legal). Once I get to it, I begin my acceleration to lane share/pass the SUV ahead of me. So does a motor cop from the other direction! Apparently he was looking for the same spot and was lane sharing/passing a delivery truck in the opposing traffic direction. We passed each other at about 40 mph with trucks to our right and the center dashed line under our left feet. We had a sincere, "thank god he can ride" moment. Our handle bars missed each other's by at least 10 inches, but we still had the respect to hand up for a biker wave.
We give the wave every morning when we pass; tomorrow will be just a bit more personal.

Smile when you ride, it may be the only way cagers can feel the freedom.

Don't worry about the kids. They have Air Marshals for that.
