No - there's not really any towns of any kind; inhabited or abandoned out here. Just grass fields for miles upon miles. I rode a stretch of 200 miles and I think I was next to the same field the entire time.

But I made it - now sitting in my deeeeluxe hotel room at the Marriott with the air con switched to "freeze" and enjoying the magnificent view outside my room...

And now the real fun begins; Kansas has about 2 road turns in the entire state, more State Troopers than you can shake a stick at and it's now 95 out. Great riding!

They refurbished the train station and water tower aswell - looks kinda cool....

Finally pull into Lamar, CO for some fuel. Saw what had to be the biggest steam train ever . I'm 6'1" tall and the wheels were as tall as me....

Only thing other than dry grass for miles is some windmill generators in the distance. Good place for them as the wind was a steady 40 mph all day today....

Hour or so later and I pull off the highway onto some dirt. Was gonna check out the trees, lakes and mountains - but there aren't any! Welcome to the eastern 1/3 of Colorado - whole lotta nuthin'....

Couple of hours later and I'm at my first truck stop of the day getting fuel. Starting to warm up as well....

Up at the crack of 8:30 this morning and started packing the bike for a ride to Garden City, Kansas. There was a nip in the air though (ignore the date and time - I dunno hopw to set those). Stopped on the way outta town and looked back at Interstate 70....

Frequently. When we get home at night from dinner or whatever, the wife doesn't waste a lot of time between the car and the front door. I won't call her a chickenshit to her face though.

Can't leave McDonald's wrapppers in your car or anything with a smell or these guys will rip the doors off to get in. Bastids!

Guy up the street from me left his garage door open last night and had a visitor open up his garage refrigerator for a snack. His bikes were okay though

And it is a cockpit, so...

That looks like bile from the stomach of a very ill person. Bon Apetit!

That is spectacular! On my list to visit when in the UK next.

Definitely warm out there.

Well shit. Now I gotta buy a T700.

Howdy Shaz!

True. At least it's downhill the whole way to Kansas. But all uphill coming home?

It's only 400 miles away but it's about a 7,000 foot elevation drop; thus the higher temps.

On Wednesday, I'm riding to Kansas. It'll be about 4C when I leave home and around 40C when I get to my destination in Kansas; pretty big temperature swing.

That sounds pretty cool - good destination for next time.

Nice little vid - looks a bit dry there though. Like the old buildings, too.

I'd be afraid to ride across town on a Guzzi....at any age.
