I am fine, bike has crushed Jesse bags, bent Madstad windshield brackets, scratched windshield, that is what I can see, will see if dealer finds anything wrong underneath. Truck is in shop, Honda Ridgeline, Yes, I know some of you don't believe this is a truck...grin. Trailer is probably totaled, waiting to hear.

Wishing I was with you guys riding, well, next year !!

Scary since I pull the same trailer with the same bike inside with a Ridgeline!

As far as we could go on Imogene pass
You made it a heck of a lot farther than I did.



This is where I ended that trip after about 20 minutes of being stuck in a hole when some Jeep guys helped me get out. Some where between this spot and the bottom of the rough stuff is where I lost about $500 worth of sun glasses. It was a costly and brief ride up Imogene for me.

All good, would have been much more costly if Reno didn't watch my top case fall off on the next route and stop me from leaving more expensive items behind. Some days, you have to know when to call it quits.

Would have been farther but an RV vs trailer with a couple side by side accident closed US 285 for an hour. I could not turn around so waited. Then traffic near Denver cost me another 45 minutes.

8-9 hours tomorrow to home!

DM and I also sat in highway traffic today heading to Mt Evans...which is an amazing ride up the mountain. Highly recommend that ride. Spending the night in Golden, CO tonight.

On your way to everywhere, , Iowa
OK
I'll start over now that I have some time.
I want to thank everyone that took the time and effort to show up at the rally.
I counted 17 riders one was a lady on her own bike [Dirt Mom] and 3 wives that I got to meet.
All very nice and fun to be with.
I wish Michelle could have made the rally with me ,I'm sure she would have enjoyed meeting everyone of you and liked you all.
Heck she even likes Gunner so I know she would like the rest of you.
By the way if any of you out there have not met Gunner, then you need to get out and ride more. Gunner is the only Tenere rider to have made it to every Tenere Rally.
And thanks again Gunner for the cool stickers you have made. [and tee shirts]
I got a chance to ride with some great riders and see some new places and most of all make some new fantastic friends that I hope to ride with many more times before I croak [I'm getting up there in age]
If you haven't rode the Million Dollar Highway, You should.
