But I made it obviously or else I'd still be sitting out there on the side of the road waiting on someone to pass by.... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even look at that thing - just watch the odometer. I knew this was a long stretch without fuel stops before I started it as I've done this road many times. So I just took it easy the entire way 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 Anyway, back to the ride report. I got up at 4:00 AM to beat it outta Las Vegas - no heat and no traffic. Got up into the mountains of Utah and it cooled off significantly ... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched my odometer - the fuel light came on before I stopped for fuel. Not sure when that comes on - maybe with like 50 miles to go? Gonna have to sort out an auxiliary tank for that thing - sucks having to calculate the next fuel stop and worrying constantly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earache Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 I wheel into my hotel in Torrey, Utah and find that they've placed me in a room above the laundry.

Earache Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 Next day and it's time to cross the desert (high desert - 6,500' elevation) again. Temps go up a bit but it's still pretty chilly. Scenery has changed once again .. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
