Service Day...Again 🤣

What happens when you ride a lot of miles in a day for a lot of days at a time? You spend a lot of time getting services 🤣. Today is my 60,000-mile service, and Desert Wind HD in Mesa slid me in their service lineup this morning.

A super nice guy Kent who's new at the dealership talk to me before they opened and I gave him my card. When they had their morning meeting, he told everybody else about me, so later the GM Sean asked to interview me. That minute or two interview I've linked on my social media sites if you want to take a look.

They got me done super quick and I was rolling by about 1300. I ran around the remainder of Phoenix collecting the rest of the dealerships, then headed north taking the Red Rock Scenic byway right at sunset, which I think is the best time to ride it because of how the setting sun really intensifies the color of the red stone. On the north end of that byway you pop out in Sedona, where there's a little HD T-shirt shop that is a real pain in the butt to get a picture of with the bike. I just wind up holding up traffic and making the pedestrians walk around me 🤣🤣.

I really push the bike to its fuel limit today because I forgot to get gas. I looked down at my partially obscured gauge and I had 44 miles remaining, so not quite to the low fuel warning, but much closer than I like to get. By the time I gassed up, I just had "LF" on the display. "Low Fuel", which I'm pretty sure means is under 10 mile left 🤣.

It was a good day despite the Phoenix traffic. I was hungry and tired so I stopped really early. But had I not stopped, then I would have done Devil's Highway in the dark with no auxiliary lights. That ain't happening. No way. With my luck, I'd wind up hitting a bear but not killing it and then it would eat me. No thanks, I'll stay here tonight 👍.

Hope to see you on the road! Remember, NO WHINING! ✌️
