We’re going to have a great time. Weather looks perfect, I’m up for riding whatever you are comfortable with. Good weather, great scenery, good places to eat, a campground with a shower. If your thinking of coming, or need to get away, NOW is the time.

The Moab diner is a favorite of mine, and The Blue Pig has some of the best smoked turkey I have ever eaten.

so a few post back I mentioned I broke my brand new cardo packtalk unit.... set my helmet on the seat …. and as I put my jacket on ...… as I was conversing with carrot..... I move the handle bars..... helmet rolls off seat , lands on unit , snaps the roller off. still works kind of but it does not. 300.00 out the window. after whining about it to everyone I got the idea maybe the factory could repair it . after contacting them (factory) they wanted proof of purchase.... what …. so I call cycle gear to ask about proof of purchase , started with what I did . he asked my name , then looked up my purchase , and said to me , you bought the protection , just bring it in and we will replace it..... they did , wow . all is well now..... I never buy extra warranties or protections , but this time I did . and with the replacement I bought it again..

in texas the weather mainly comes from the northwest . when you see how much weather comes from west texas you would think it would be lush and green out west .... but no its not. its just when you travel west you are going to ride through something out that way. glad I am not leaving this morning big weather front blocking my route. excited about tomorrow ,just hope for a dry start.

I am in SW Colorado now. Found a Yamaha shop that will put Shinko 804/805 on tomorrow morning when they open. Then I head to Moab.

I've got to back out of this one. A higher authority has requested I be home for the weekend.
You guys have fun, be safe.
