Track day in the Mojave - Streets of Willow. Motorcycles keep you young!!

the voices, they keep speaking to me. you all are just pushers and the BMW lineup is my drug! (thank dog i keep forgetting to go look at Ducatis!)

jeez! what a bunch of codgers! I only have slight pain in my right shoulder. Course, Bruce will say i have an addled brain, based on my choice of bikes

well, guess i wont have to post an RR after all. You just duplicated our Labor Day trip ?

oh, shit! you were there for that? made the news and my brother had sent me a link to the article. will have to tell him of your involvement!

maybe i should have washed it. naw

Oh, and you. I forgot about you. I was really referring to my riding friends. Not the wanna be skippers. ?

If that's a cockpit picture, then that truck should hang around you a little bit longer. They usually have paramedics on them

Laurent would have to give me permission of course. If it isnt doable, then i will just return it and finding something in the UK

Maybe get there next year. Trying to plan a trip to Spain with a tour group, then keep the bike and head north into UK to see some "friends". You know, those online peeps you've talked to for years but never seen face to face. Plus a couple that i have met face to face.

Wow! nice photos!

Heading back to that area first week of September. Might even stop in Tin Cup this time, but they have great hot dogs in Pitkin ? Last time we were up Cottonwood, they hadnt paved the west side down to the reservoir. Huge surprise to go thru there a few weeks ago and see the new asphalt. reminded me a little of Stelvio Pass!. Gravel in the curve is always fun, too.

In countries where you dont speak the native language, it can be a great help. Same goes with unfamiliar areas when you have limited time. Sometimes it is not knowing where to research points of interest. I've taken two Edelweiss Tours, both of them well run, fun and great motorcycle roads experienced. Have also done two tours with Ride in Tours, which is a one man outfit (Laurent Dozias) who knows France inside and out, as well as a couple of other countries. Laurent has very reasonable prices and is freaking crackup to be around. Looking forward to one next year that takes me back to Spain!

Where most of these fine lads hail from, that distance would take them thru at least 3, possibly 5 countries. You're barely out of one state :). Love that part of the country!

Shhhh, dont tell anyone about Hwy 12, where my brother has been directed to spread my ashes.....

damn!!! i hope the rider saw that truck coming well in advance!!!

We took a guided tour from EpicoMoto (Ricardo and Alejandro are great peeps!) and his main stable includes several XT660s. He has a BMW 800GS, and some others. But, the trip we took was mostly off road so the Yammy's were perfect! For the ride pictured, our buddy Dennis was in Colombia on his GS, ridden down from California, for a group called Motorrad Angels. Tom Palmer created the group and he decided to retire and ride around the world. To make it even more worthwhile, he delivers water filters to villages, wherever they go. All donations go straight to buying the filters, Tom finances everything else. They've responded to the earthquake in Mexico City a couple of years ago, as well as on Puerto Rico, delivery water filters and solar lights after that hurricane wiped out electricity in most places. He also helps groups set up their own local chapter of the Angels. The last big effort they were involved in was aiding the Venezuelan refugees flooding into Colombia. Ferrying doctors to the border, providing shelter, clean water, shoes and bus trips back to other shelters. If you are of the donating types, your money goes a long way with that group.

you dont have to tell me. ?

Colombia 2019. When the borders open, you should go! Friendly people, beautiful scenery, great paved and dirt roads and the mountains!!

I think it was the promise of all that sex. He just didnt realize he was a receiver.

Great pics. Did you do Glacier and Going to the Sun Road?

Love those old buildings!

nope, me as well. i have my own Kum and Go pics from the midwest ?

Lots of stories!!! It starts with us discovering Colorado, especially the passes around Silverton, Ouray and Lake City. Then it just goes nuts from there. Throw in some Moab and White Rim Trail, and Colorado BDR riding. A little Mojave Desert riding and you get most of those pics. Look up March Moto Madness - Tellico Plains, and Ribfest - Centerville, TN and you will see the crazies that make me do these stupid things ? Better yet, meet me halfway and we can play in the dirt and sit around the campfire telling tall tales. I see from your own great pics you look like someone who wanders off the pitch? (that's foreign word for asphalt. Just for them whot dont speak amurican here) Also, have to blame @JBEAN for starting this madness, too
