Earache

Utah trip is in 9 days and my co-rider on the trip just cancelled. Hate when that happens. Guess I'm going by myself.

He'll do better on the next attempt, I'm sure.

...and walls. Don't forget the walls. Fuckin' everywhere....

Castles, schmastles - common as shit....

Ride report with pics or it didn't happen.

Well yeah, but that's not saying much.

The Dunlop Trailmax Missions on my bike after the trip. These also did the Arizona trip so they have about 6,000 miles on them. They look ready for more and will do the Utah trip in a couple of weeks.

The Duc has 28K miles on it versus my 63K miles. He has it in the Ducati shop after each trip for service (oil, brakes. valves) and has had no problems. I do my own services and have had no issues at all either. So we've both been pretty lucky so far.

I do. I'm just a dumbass at times.

Another successful and fun ride in the books. Off to Utah in a couple of weeks - more pics of that later.

Todd's tire made it to my house - 3, 218 miles later - and looked pretty well worn. No cord yet - but not far from it....

Rolled back into Colorado and the topography changed immediately...

There just isn't anything out here. Rode for 140 miles and saw nothing....

Last day of riding and we left Riverton, WY at 0600 and headed south. Windy as fook today - the interstate was closed at 2:00 PM due to 60+ mph winfs that were blowing motorhomes and truck trailers over. Nasty stuff. Had lots of this to cover on our way...

I'll be sure to fan my ass with a machete next time I'm in Canada to prevent any unwanted advances from Canuckistanian homos.

It's worth the trip, for sure!

Of course not! Why would I have heated grips? Only the ES model Tenere has heated grips and mine isn't an ES.

Exactly. Showed his concealed carry permit before being asked and was super polite. Also, being a bit older probably helps.

No doubt!

I feel ashamed, trust me. I didn't have anything at Starfucks and only had a few sips of Coors - so I'm not totally gay.

Short video from yesterday...

Today should be our last day out as we head for my house. If Todd's tire will make it, we should be home this evening. Time will tell...

Took a cab ride into town and saddle up at a bar. Nice place for a liquid dinner ....

And into our hotel in Riverton. They had free beers at check in ! Shoulda known it was gonna be crap beer, but still free

Down the hill outside of Cody, Wyoming...
