• Evening 3 a very damp Grand Canyon

    May 17, 2016 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C

    So surprised again by rain. Had a good run out to Winslow Arizona today. Stood on the famous corner and had a beer and tacos. From their headed west once more and went to the famous Meteor Crater just west of Winslow. Then headed north at Flagstaff but my bike was misfiring. Soon we were headed over the top of the Grey mountains and there was actually snow on the road. Bike ran fine for 80 miles then Bang Bang Bang. Started back firing again.
    Had the whole tank off again. Air filter t out. The works in a car park at the end of the grand canyon.
    Took the spark plugs out, seems two were dodgy. Decided we hand to carry on and ended up riding another 60 miles west to where we are now. Grand Canyon village.
    Bloody freezing run through the rain. Feet soaked through!
    The roads were great so tomorrow we will do the 100 mile round trip over them again so we can see it all in daylight.
    That's me for tonight.
