Earache Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Ok, technically the 2nd ride, but this was the first one that actually went anywhere. A little 375 mile jaunt with my bud Phil on his GS. We met up at a fuel station in southern Colorado as Phil lives about 75 miles away from me. Saw @Tym 's truck there. "Murica dammit". 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 Hammered down the road for a while and stopped for a pee break (as you do). Ice fishermen were loving the warmer weather. I know the ice is really thick, but I still wouldn't walk out there on it...even with my svelte, lithe and somewhat waif-like profile.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 Tried to get some decent pics of the snowy mountains in the distance, but it was an uncharacteristically cloudy day so they don't show up very well.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 We passed through some old gold mining sites - which were posted as no trespassing, so we didn't. Would love to go down there though..... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 Sign on the bridge said "No stopping on bridge" so we did. Fuck'em - we'll do as we please. Didn't you see the truck? This here is "Murica ! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 Being Easter Sunday, most places were closed for the holiday, but we found an old bar that was open with a limited menu. Dunno about eating in a place that's using old diesel oil drums as a bar though.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 The food, although tainted with diesel and probably toxic, tasted pretty good. We had the cheeseburgers and fries with a side of chips and salsa.... (Food pics for @Pedro ) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 Phil likes to keep his bikes as clean as @XTreme does. So naturally I took him on some dirt to get his bike messy. Made me giggle thinking of him polishing the bike for 8 hours after he gets home.... 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 Stopped by the local biker hangout in Deckers on the way home. Late in the day so not too many scooters here today. Just some loud assed HD's.... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted April 5, 2021 Author Share Posted April 5, 2021 Headed home as it was starting to get cold again. We decided to attempt a ride to 3 day, 1,300 mile Utah this coming weekend - should have tons of great pics and some videos from that trip. Until then.... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
