    Must go faster. Cannot get caught by this
    What it looks like when I take off my heated gear 🤣

    I Outran the Storm! Phew!!

    4月9日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F

    Because of the cold last night, I only got a couple of hours of sleep. It was somewhere around 35-40°F this morning, so of course I put on all of my heated gear before I rolled out at around 0630.

    My first stop was to scour a field for anything left over from an old abandoned drive-in movie theater. All I found were foundations. 😔

    Then it was off to Pueblo and Colorado Springs for the Harley dealerships. I also picked up three Tour of Honor stops for Colorado.

    By the time I got to Cheyenne Wells, I was crazy hot, so I stopped at a little park I got out of my heated gear. I forgot the Southwest Colorado is like Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma: flat, hot, and dusty. With so little sleep it was really hard to stay awake this afternoon. I don't think I was actually asleep, but I lost about 50 miles while I was headed to Oklahoma 🫣. More sleep tonight.

    For dinner, I had a not so good, $9 hot dog on an oversized bun at one of my Ride to Eat locations, which is sitting like a stone in my gut now 🤢. I'm tucked into the corner of a closed motel in Shamrock, TX. I don't think headlights will hit me, so I should be good. I'm just really glad I'm dry. That was a massive front with horrible winds, and I was blasting down the road despite the speed limit to try to beat it. I did, just, but I did 😁.

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

    25,000 Miles In!!! 😁😁😁

    4月8日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F

    I'm one quarter of the way to completing my 100,000-mile charity ride!!!

    I covered a lot of ground today picking up four tour of honor sites, to ride to eat photos and two dealerships. I also did the 180-mile loop for the New Mexico 50 Rides 1 Nation. I don't recommend doing that at night. My sequence of events was a huge pronghorn antelope, two turkeys, a mule deer, a couple of elk, a herd of elk, a fox, several whitetail deer, and a rabbit. And that's just what I actually saw. I'm sure there was a lot more out there just outside my wonderful lights. Oh yeah, and at 9,820 feet elevation, it was cold 🥶!!!

    Despite sleeping like a log last night and oversleeping my alarm by almost an hour this morning, I'm exhausted. See ya.

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

    70K Service & Amanda Kissandhug

    4月7日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 88 °F

    I was up and gone before 0700--sleeping in, I know 🤣--in an attempt to get to Desert Wind HD in Mesa (Phoenix) by 0930 for my 70,000-mile service. Before I could leave, however, I had to break the ice off of my bike cover 😱. The water on the ground wasn't frozen though, so I felt okay to ride. I definitely put on all my heated gear because the temperature was only and exactly 32°F 😱. 🥶🥶🥶.

    I made it by 0930 despite having to battle rush hour work traffic, and they rolled me in straight away. I texted a rider friend to let him know I was in town, and he and his wife picked me up and took me to lunch at Nando's. Yum 🤤🤤🤤.

    They dropped me back at the dealership, where the bike was done and waiting for me. I wasn't rushed though because I only had to grab one more ToH mural a few miles away, then go to Scorpion HD in Chandler (also Phoenix) for the final rally dinner.

    It was so very nice to see everyone and meet lots of new folks. I even got two more donations and signatures on the bike. One of those sigs is "Amanda Kissandhug," one of Bart Simpson's prank phone calls to Moe. "Amanda Kissandhug. I'm looking for Amanda Kissandhug. Is Amanda Kissandhug here?" 🤣 Why, yes I am looking for a man to kiss and hug, so thanks for that sig, buddy! 🤣🤣

    Anyway, it was a very nice day despite the low mileage. I got back on the road at 1900 after the rally wrapped up, but only got an hour and a half away before the yawns hit me hard. Looking at the weather, I decided to splurge on a hotel room instead of battle 40° in the morning. I am crashing as I type, so see you tomorrow.

    Oh, I also found out today that I won the 1st quarter Ride to Eat challenge. Where they got my picture I have no idea since it was from over a year ago when I did an Iron Butt SaddleSore BBQ 1000 🤣. But the winner gets some fuel cards, so yay!!

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

    A Little Wet

    4月6日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F

    My friend and I left her home in Pahrump by 0600 to beat the Vegas rush hour. We blasted US-93 until my Tour of Honor stop at an outdoor adventure place (flag mural).

    We then continued onto I-40 until we dropped south on AZ-89 into Prescott (pronounced PRES-cut) where I grabbed another ToH mural (Granite Mountain Hot Shots) and she grabbed another HD photo. We had a nice lunch just off the square, the retraced our path back up to I-40.

    We stopped for my third and final mural in Williams, then blasted on east to Grand Canyon HD for her pic. Seeing rain ahead, we prepped to get drenched. Fortunately, we only got a little wet over the 15 miles to our hotel in Flagstaff. After checking in early--we arrived before 1500--I rested and/or dozed for about an hour and a half before we went to the restaurant for dinner, where we met several other folks on the rally and had some really nice fellowship.

    Good day despite the wet.

    There is a sign between the two arrows that says, "SEA LEVEL" 😱. -282 feet below 😱

    Death Valley 🤎

    4月5日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 86 °F

    What a nice day. First, when I was at the bike getting ready to leave, I was showing someone my auxiliary lights, which progressed into my 100,000-milencharoty ride and my fundraiser to sign the bike. At least 5 people donated and signed Michael!

    Just before 0900, I met up with a rider I met at the Run to Daytona Touring Rally at the end of February. We blasted north to one of my Ride to Eat photo stops, then followed four riders into Death Valley. The riders turned out to the be the rally organizers. We left them when they pulled off to take pictures of the entrance sign.

    We needed gas at Furnace Creek, about the center of the park. I was estimating Premium to be over $9 per gallon, but surprisingly, it was under $8. Cool.

    The Borax Museum
    (https://maps.app.goo.gl/G36v5SjyrVoM5dGT6)
    had a burger stand outside, so we grabbed some food with a bunch of other folks on the rally, had some nice conversation, then got back into the heat. Fortunately, it was only about 90°F, but that was hot enough for me 🤣!

    We took Badwater Road out of the park, stopping at Badwater Basin, the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere. Really cool.

    If you haven't been to Death Valley, you should really put it on your list of placea to visit. It's an incredible place. You go from 282 feet below sea level to over 4,000 feet in the snowcapped mountains in mere minutes. The scenery seems to change with every turn, from salt flats to palm trees, washouts to jagged peaks. The heat can be brutal during the day, but the nights can be freezing. If you can find beauty in austerity, then Death Valley is definitely for you!

    Now, I'm back at my friend's home in Pahrump getting ready to roll to.Flagstaff in the morning.

    Great day!!!

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

    Short Day

    4月4日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌙 63 °F

    I left the hotel at a whopping 0830 this morning 😱 to meet a rider at his hotel before 0900. We tore up the I-5 straight to Bakersfield, where I left him at the HD to meet his friend, while I tore off to Lancaster/Palmdale and Antelope Valley HD.

    I got to the dealership before 1300 and set up the bike for my fundraiser. $20 to sign the bike! It went really well, and I had some very neat conversations with staff, customers, and rally participants.

    We had a very nice pasta dinner, then my friend and I made it to the hotel. After dropping off our stuff, we joined some others at the BJ Brewhouse across the parking lot, and are now going to bed. I don't know why I'm so tired when I was up hours after I usually am when riding 🤣.

    Death Valley tomorrow. I hope it's not crazy hot 🤞.

    Spring Heat Day 1

    4月3日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 75 °F

    Today, my friend and I left Pahrump and made our way down to Santa Clarita for the Harley Owners Group Spring Heat Touring Rally. Since today is our initial check in and our first dinner, it's considered the first day of the rally. Yay!

    Along the way, we grabbed a couple of pictures that I needed and a couple of pictures that she needed, and, even though we stopped for lunch, we still got to the hotel before 1400 😁.

    After checking in, we jumped back on the bikes--both white Road Glides--and rode to the HD. About a mile before getting there, we had another white Road Glide come up behind us, linger, then pass. As he passed he gave a little wave, and when I noticed his cut was Boozefighters, I said to myself, "Holy crap, I bet that's Robert Patrick." We followed him into the HD lot, and he pulled straight into the showroom. Sure as 💩, it WAS Robert Patrick 😱! I got to meet him with a hand shake and a quick hug. Pretty cool. Turns out he's one of the HD's owners. There's a memorabilia wall inside and even a Terminator 2 pinball machine 🤣.

    Anyway, I had time to catch up with several folks, then we had a nice BBQ dinner. I won a door prize of bike cleaner and a microfiber towel 🤣. Much needed actually 🤣. Maybe I'll give him a quick once-over tomorrow, more than just the windshield and lights. Maybe 😉.

    Final Day of Rest

    4月2日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌙 64 °F

    Again, no riding today, but an awful lot of hours behind the laptop firing out my next 10,000 miles or so 🤣.

    The Harley Owners Group Spring Heat Touring Rally begins tomorrow, so we're leaving early to get down to Santa Clarita before it gets too hot (despite the forecast being 55°F with the wind chill at 42 😱).

    It'll be fine. Besides, there's no whining, right?! 🤣

    Tour of Honor Begins

    4月1日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F

    As if I'm not stopping for a crap load of photos already, April 1 kicks off the Tour of Honor, so I decided to grab some pics today. I ran down to Las Vegas (again) for several pics, then 75 West to Beatty for 1 x RTE and 1 x TOH pics. It was odd wearing only blue jeans and a T-shirt with my military shirt and leather vest, but it was so much cooler than the riding suit. Don't get me wrong, I love that suit, and I feel protected in it. But it was really nice to ride just in normal clothes.

    Now, I'm plugging in to my Garmin Basecamp all the other Tour of Honor locations so I can pick them up as I go along. I'll get as many as I can, but several are in places I've already been, so I may not get those at all. Or maybe I'll make a final sweep at the end of the season to grab those outliers. We'll see.

    Taking A Break

    3月31日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌬 68 °F

    I'm so very fortunate to have a wonderful friend who is letting me stay with her for several days in Pahrump. We're on our way to Las Vegas right now to take care of some business. For example, I need to print my rally flags for both the Tour of Honor and the Pacific North West Grand Tour.

    I finally got a haircut this morning, which meant I rode a whopping 11 miles 🤣.

    Anyway, nothing else to report today 😁.

    Blasting to Pahrump

    3月29日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌙 70 °F

    I was up and gone from Avalanche HD at 0530, knowing I was gaining an hour while I blasted West then South to Vegas. With no pics to take since I'm backtracking from yesterday (minus Moab, although I was tempted to ride UT-128 again!), I made great time. I decided to grab a couple of pics in Las Vegas as I made my way to Pahrump.

    My wonderful friend has offered me a place to stay for several days, and I am very happy to take a break for a bit. These past few days have been rough. I'm glad to relax now.

    UT-128! Ride it!

    3月28日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F

    I left Zion at about 0530 and knew I had a big day ahead of me. It got light fairly quickly and I zoomed up I-15 as quick as I safely could. I had a good breakfast at Penny's diner before jumping on I-70 to blast across Utah.

    I dropped down into Moab to grab a pic, but also to ride UT-128 north to I-70. It follows the Colorado River through canyons and is one of my favorite rides. Check out the attached video.

    Once I hit I-70, I was blasting into Colorado. When I got to the Vail area, I had reached about 10,000 feet, and the temperature had dropped. At a gas stop I put on my full finger gloves, but new I would be dropping down into Denver, so I didn't put anything else on. It was funny to see people skiing on the mountains and then golfing along the interstate 🤣. I guess it's just that time of year.

    Denver was, as every large city is, full of traffic. Luckily, today was Saturday, so I'm pretty sure it could have been a lot worse. I got my pictures, including the all-important photo at the state capitol building, and well after dark ended up at Avalanche HD for the night. I've stayed here before with no problem, and there's a Maverick gas station right next door with hot food and coffee in the morning.

    I'm beat again and I have a long day tomorrow as well, so ciao.

    4-State Day

    3月27日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F

    I was up and gone by 0500, but quite a few people in the apartments next door beat me 😱.

    I made it up to Temecula, then just as the light was beginning to reveal the mountains, I was on my way up the twisties to Idyllwild. It's a cute little alpine village and a great ride to get there.

    After coming back down and turning north to I-10, I hit a few dealerships, then decided to skip my friend's house and blast on to Denver. Colorado is my next state 😁.

    But first, I spent almost 2 hours at a McDonald's figuring out where I was going to go and having a conference call with my brother. More adulting getting in the way of riding 🤣. I left around 1330 and jumped back on I-10.

    It was when I was merging from I-10 to I-15 that I found all the traffic 🤣. I lane split--no joke--for 20 miles. 20. Miles. It was horrible and exhausting. Mostly people pulled aside, but the soccer moms and dualie trucks live in their own worlds and don't pay attention to anything around them. Splitting takes determined concentration on the cars immediately in front of you, the cars and brake lights in front of them, and other bikes coming up from behind you. Plus, you have to anticipate cars changing lanes, which usually happens very fast with no indicator. They usually drift towards the lane they want first, or you can see a slight twist of the front tire. Honestly, I'd much rather not do it, but I'm also not sitting on the bike in the direct afternoon sun in stop and go traffic for 20 miles either. So, I'm exhausted 🫩.

    Once in Nevada, I grabbed a couple of AULDR photos and had a gas station sandwich and chips for $20 😱. But gas was about a dollar per gallon cheaper.

    Back on I-15, I cut through about 30 miles of Arizona without stopping, and reached Utah (state #4 today) for a photo, bathroom break, and water refill. Now, I'm camped at Zion HD next to a sign that says no overnight parking without a permit 🤣. Oh well. Let's see if anyone comes knocking 🤣.

    20,000 Miles Done!! 💪

    3月26日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌙 63 °F

    I slept in this morning, then got locked out of my room while trying to load the bike, so I didn't get rolling until after 0800 😱.

    But maybe that was a good thing because I didn't hit any really bad traffic. Sometimes it was stop and go, but mostly moving. I did a lot of lane splitting, which is more difficult since this bike is half the size of a car 🤣. But for the most part, drivers in the left lane move left to make room for you, including the cop I passed. It's just how it's done here. I always keep an eye flickering to what's behind me, and I move out the way of the other bikes, who are usually skinnier than Michael and who go waaaaay faster than I do.

    At noon I found a McDonald's to use their wifi for a "meeting" about my RV campground membership. They swore it wasn't a sales pitch. It was a sales pitch. Only $11,000 more and all of this and that and this could be mine 😱!! 💋 MY 🫏.

    Back on the road down to San Diego and another location for the Four Corners and Lap of the 48--San Ysidro--just this side of the border from Tijuana. This time I took my pic at the post office and didn't get caught in the border traffic.

    After a couple more pics, I shot 70 miles out I-8 East for one single photo where I thought I also might be able to sleep. Maybe I could've, but the little dirt town was a bit too nothing for me, so I turned around and came back to San Diego. On the way back I rolled 20,000 miles on the year!!!!!

    I'm a bit north in San Marcos, tucked away in a busy semi-residenntial area at the HD, but in between a pickup and a trailer with my bike in front of me, so I think I'll be okay. Must leave early though, so time to get some shuteye.

    Oh, three dealerships I hit today were permanently closed 😔.

    Still on US101

    3月25日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F

    Well, today was the second day of pretty much staying completely on US 101 and just dipping off to grab a photo here and there. I had a huge breakfast in Monterey, partially because I needed a receipt for the lighthouse, which I forgot 🤦, and partially because I was really hungry.

    After that lost receipt and hence no date time proof of when I was at the lighthouse, I have decided to forego the IBA lighthouse challenge. Getting a receipt for 120+ lighthouses is going to get expensive. I already have to get a receipt near each Capitol building and near each Lap of the 48 location and near each...everything else I'm trying to do. So lighthouses are out this year.

    I got a little more time on PCH 1 to get a photo of a bridge, but then probably made my way back up to Monterey so I could hook over to Salinas and back to the 101.

    Then it was a don't-fall-asleep-on-the-bike ride until the turn off to Morro Bay. Morro Bay is a really cool place, but this time I only went halfway to take a photo at the restaurant Halfway Station, which unfortunately wasn't open.

    Back to the 101 down to Santa Maria and then Ventura. But I am so far ahead of time, like a week, I need to figure out where I'm going the next few days. So I've stopped at a hotel and cozied up with the laptop and my GPS tonight. I do know tomorrow is going to be a lot of LA traffic, which I'm not looking forward to 😔. Wish me luck 🤞💪.

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

    CA299, US101, PCH1

    3月24日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌙 63 °F

    I made it across CA-299 just as the sun was coming up and before a lot of the construction turned it into a one-lane road. It was nice and dry, so I had a chance to push the bike a little bit in the turns. I am not comfortable at all. On my other bikes I'm 15 to 20 mph over the yellow recommended speed unless it's 25 or below. On this bike 10 max. Oh well, it is what it is.

    After I hit Eureka took a short break by the lighthouse and the Lost Mariner Memorial, I pretty much hugged Highway 101 all the way down to San Fran, just diving in towards the coast to grab a pic.

    Going through the Redwoods is always a joy. Please make sure you take the time to park the bike, get off, and walk around to see the magnificence of these trees. A lot of it is just a tourist trap, but pulling into the free gravel parking lot of the Founders Grove Nature Loop Trail and taking a short stroll is a unique experience made up of awe, respect, and quiet that I've never felt anywhere else. I hope you discover that too.

    Riding across the Golden Gate Bridge isn't too shabby either 🤣. I gave Lombard Street a pass this time through San Fran because I didn't want to tip over going down 🤣.

    I made it all the way down the Pacific Coast Highway 1 from the Bridge to Santa Cruz, then turned back North to San Jose, where I thought I would be sleeping at the dealership. Negative. I forgot that one was in a very busy area, including having a food truck in the parking lot that was packed. So I kept going to Morgan Hill, where I found the dealership had moved half a mile down the road and was now behind locked gates. So I stayed at the old dealership 💪🤣.

    Quite the scenic day.

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

    Back At It

    3月23日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌙 68 °F

    After a wonderful, 2-night visit with my dear friend, today I'm back on the bike. I didn't rush out, and I stopped a lot, so I didn't make many miles. Plus I stopped early at Shasta HD to get some more rest 🤞. And I didn't want to do CA 299 from Redding to Eureka in the dark. It's a terrific, twisty, tree-lined road, but not fun in the dark or in the rain (none forecasted). So, an early stop was an easy call.

    Good, easy ride today.

    Day Off

    3月22日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F

    After 35 days of riding an average of 450 miles a day, I'm finally taking a full day off the bike and hanging by the pool at my friend's home. That is all.

    More Service

    3月21日, アメリカ ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F

    Today was just working my way through California traffic and paying $6-$7 per gallon for premium gas.

    At 1100 I made it to Fresno HD, and they were able to slide me in for a 5k service. Another $500. This is getting expensive

    Luckily, my friend in Sacramento is putting me up tonight, so I can get a shower, change clothes, and get some real sleep. It was so windy last night that I had a hard time staying asleep. Tonight will be much better 🤗.

    One really cool hing about riding in California are the smells. This time of year, when everything is in bloom, the odors are strong and ever-changing. But I love the oranges. Their blooms smell like a mix of vanilla, rose, and honeysuckle. Just intoxicating.

    I got my fourth Capitol today, plus a couple of lighthouses in Oakland!!! It was a really good day!!!

    Nap on the cool concrete at a rest area on I-40
    Gas $$$ 😔

    Iron Butt in a Hair Dryer

    3月20日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 66 °F

    I knew I was blasting I-40 today, so I intentionally planned to do over 1,000 miles. I didn't know it was going to be over 100°F in Arizona, though. That's like riding in a hair dryer 🥵. Positioning myself so air comes up into the riding suit acts like a swamp cooler, drying my sweat and making it tolerable, but I dried out too quickly for it to help much 😔. Oh well. Made it to Ludlow CA where I'm camped. Even though I took a 1.5-hour nap late this morning, I'm still exhausted. Good night!

    UPDATE:
    It's tomorrow, so here's a little more about today's ride. The first 700-750 were blasting I-40 with some short dives off the interstate to 1) grab pics, 2) take a nap [because I think I was sleeping when I went through Holbrook and Winslow 🤢], and 3) stop to eat inside at one of the Ride to Eat locations.

    But the next 58 miles, from Kingman to Topock via Oatman were over 2 hours of very slow, very hot, very 🫏 miles. Old (very) Route 66 is an amazing, twisty, edge of the cliff road that you absolutely must ride at least once. Just watch out for the burro sleeping in the road or blocking traffic so you can scratch and feed them 🤣.

    Finally making it back to I-40, I dropped down along the Colorado River to Lake Havasu City, then even further down to Parker and back up the west side to Needles... literally 15 miles down the interstate. My route was 135 miles 🤣.

    Another screaming 100-mile leg from Needles to Ludlow put me over my 1,000-miles and completed my day. It was a good one, even with the exhausting heat and wind!

    Cold to Hot to Laundry

    3月19日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 93 °F

    At 0530 in Little Rock is was 48°F. At 1230 in Witchita Falls it was 97°F. 😱 Crazy. I started the day with my cold weather boots, gloves, and jacket. By lunchtime I was roasting. Around 1400, I stopped for gas and decided to get out of the heat by doing my laundry.

    It wasn't cooler when I was done, but I got to change out of my jeans and long-sleeve cotton T-shirt and into my leggings and wicking shirt. Much cooler.

    The day was fairy uneventful, and this evening I'm tucked away at a church. Good day 👍.

    Awesome day...finally!!

    3月18日, アメリカ ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F

    Today was awesome!

    - Didn't have to get up until 0730
    - Lone Star HD replaced my heated grips under warranty
    - They also replaced the auxiliary light controller, which fixed my problem
    - Honor picked me up for lunch
    - I didn't have to wear my cold weather gear
    - I rode 135 miles of Arkansas Scenic 7 Byway, which would be a better ride in the daylight, but at least I had my aux lights!
    - I got a couple of photos, including my third state capitol building

    Now, I'm tucked away in a dark corner of a church parking lot. Awesome day 😁

    🌬️🌬️🌬️🌬️🌬️ & 🥶

    3月17日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌬 48 °F

    Today was fairly uneventful, particularly compared to the past few days. But it was still very cold and extremely windy. Riding in the wind is very tiring, so I'm glad I stopped early. Again, I know, and I feel guilty. NOT!!! 🤣

    I didn't turn off my heated gear until I got to Whataburger for lunch. I changed gloves, but kept all the layers on, which turned out to be a wise decision. Again, as soon as the sun dropped, the temperature did as well. Not nearly as drastically as last night, but still. 🥶.

    I'm hoteling again and I'm back in Tyler TX because I have more maintenance atone Star HD in the morning. I finally got my auxiliary light controller in the mail, and they're going to replace it. 🤞🤞 that's what the real problem is 🤞🤞

    I got a cheap and crappy Super 8 (I refused to look at the Google Maps reviews(, but it's next door to a pool hall, so I'm chilling with some Shiner Bock 🍻 since I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn. 💪 Winning!

    Happy St Patrick's Day!!

    Trifecta of Dodging

    3月16日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 43 °F

    1405: That's it, I'm done for the day. Here's why:

    1. CON: Woke up at 0400 to 30°F with winds @ 25 kts and gusts @ 35. All the heated gear was all the way on and barely keeping up.

    2. CON: No aux lights in the pre-morning blackness. DODGE #1: 🫎 Elk. Big ass elk.

    3. CON: Almost noon and not only was I still in all my cold weather gear, but it was all still powered on. The temp had only risen to 37°F. And the wind was still blowing...or sucking 🤣.

    4. CON: DODGE #2: Tractor-trailer tire blow out right in front of me. I missed the tread, but got peppered with the other bits. Michael [the bike] and his huge fairing sheltered me from the worst of it, but no damage to him luckily.

    5. CON: Am I invisible? DODGE #3: Genesis driver looks right at me and pulls out anyway. I was able to not slam into his ass by maneuvering onto the dotted white line between him and the delivery truck, slowing to his speed when I got to his passenger door. After I passed him and we stopped at the next light, I somehow couldn't find first gear, so we sat through a second full round of lights. Sorry to the cars behind him though. Good for him for not getting out of his car, too.

    6. CON: Still 🥶. Still 🌬️. And at 1400, my body goes into limp mode.

    My next stop was Hotel Texan in Seagraves, one of my favorite stops. I grabbed a six-pack at the Allsups, showered and changed clothes, and am now (1630) lounging peacefully in the lobby since I seem to be the only here so far.

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

    Sunset

    Devil's Highway

    3月15日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌬 77 °F

    Okay, shorter post today.

    I woke up to 33°F, put on all of my cold weather gear, and headed towards AZ-191, Devil's Highway. It gets up to almost 9,000 ft of elevation, so there was still snow, but the only thing I found in the road were rocks, pine cones, seeming piles of poo, and whitetail deer...all of which I was able to dodge. By the time I got to the end, it was about 75° and I was dying, so all the gear came off.

    I rode back into New Mexico heading for Hatch via Lake Valley Scenic Byway, which is short but a pretty cool road as long as there's no water in all the dips.

    After dodging tumbleweeds at 80 mph, I rode past White Sands and popped on to Holloman Air Force Base to grab a couple of photos. It was still very warm in Alamogordo, but I was headed 70 miles north.

    As soon as the sun dropped, the temperature must have dropped 30° at least. And the wind still hadn't let up. Neither had the tumbleweeds. After I got smashed by a couple of good-sized ones, and with the gusts blowing me all over the road, and with no auxiliary lights working, and with the temperature down to at least 45 with the wind chill way lower than that, I decided to get a room. I also needed a shower...really needed a shower 🤣.

    It was a great day of riding, but I'm honestly not looking forward to riding in the morning if the weather is still like this. 🤞

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

    Lunch at El Pollo Loco
    Hanging out at Desert Wind HD before they open

    Service Day...Again 🤣

    3月14日, アメリカ ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F

    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! ✌️
