Earache Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 Landed at my hotel for the night - more my style. But I bet they don't even have a laundromat! I'll have to write a sternly worded letter .... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I passed a couple of bikes coming the other way - but nothing other than that in about 100 miles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here you have to stop before the next corner to look at the scenery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Fallsalot Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I find photos of scenery usually take away just how good the views are and never live up to the actual view, the photos you have taken look amazing so i cant imagine how good it is to be standing there looking at it for real. Looked like a great trip and looking at where you've been riding i cant think of a better bike to do it on 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 It's hard for us in Europe to imagine the distance's you cover , I'm not sure I could hack riding that far but I suppose it's a case of what you're used to doing. Anyway, cool photos @Earache, great to see pics from your part of the world. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the pics the horizon is 10-15 miles away. Just freakin massive rock formations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw so many dirt roads that looked like they led off to a great place - just couldn't get there one the Wing. Taking the Tenere up to Canada and a nice 2 week trip in July - that'll be a good one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya pretty much have to do the big miles to get to your destination. Next week's ride to Ohio and back will be 5,000 miles. But it has to be done if I wanna meet the wifey in Ohio. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
