Earache

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.

At my old job, I rode lots of multi-state rides to attend meetings rather than flying there. IF tghe meeting was in an area thatr I wanted to ride to, I just headed there the weekend before the meeting on the bike. Rode to Connecticut and upstate New York a couple of times and did Chicago often on the bike.

Hi Bruce - welcome! Everytime I ride my bike it seems it's an adventure of some sort. Doesn't have to be off road or around the World - could be a nip down to the shops.

Pete needs an XR650R so he can be cool, too....

Clean as a whistle in the desert....

The whole HD thing is just so tired - let it die for fuck's sake.

You're gonna need to wedge a motor in there soon.

Busloads of people from Denver. They bus in the workers and the gamblers. Few people that live here actually go to the casinos and few work there as well. But us locals pay very low property and sales taxes as the casinos are taxed so heavily so it works out well for us. I live 8 miles out of town and rarely go down that way so it doesn;t affect me too much.

Loved the castle pics - thanks for posting. Cuttlefish??? Oh Hell no !

I was trying to show a little more of what town looks like - it's not all bombed out log cabins and mountains....although there is a lot of that as well. I really look forward to your pics of the pubs (once they open) and towns. Having only been to Spain twice years ago, the architecture is cool. We stayed in Cadiz and Rota when we went to the Jerez MotoGP years ago - almost forget what it looks like. Need to go back some day.

So ends today's excursion. More later.....

Roof has a bit of a sag in it...

Some of the other buildings in Apex are behind barbed wire - I wasn't about to risk getting shot by climbing over it for a better pic....

I was impressed with how much timber he cleared for his yard. Must have used the trees for his cabin...

Still has a one seater out back, too....

Perfect example of a gold miner's cabin from the 1800's. Still in really nice shape, too!

Building with the flat front was a hotel in the 1880's, the other was the restaurant next door....
