Grand Canyon Ride Report!!!
Ok yes I'm lazy and I don’t want to re-invent the wheel, so I am linking the ride report from my Cousin's Blog page. Please do not comment on his page as he has family and others that read it and I don’t want any fallout from comments that you monkey's make....LOL So here it is, scroll down to day one and work your way up. At least half of the pictures I took, and the IPhone actually took just as good or better pictures than my Olympus camera. Also you will note that there are a lot of pictures that I took while riding at 65-70 mph...in fact all of the road pictures are the ones I took......not recommended but still. hahaha
From my house and back I hit the 3500 mile mark, the bike ran flawlessly, with the exception of a gas smell that evidentially came from over filling and expanding from the heat. I sent Sro a shout out and he said it must have spilled into the charcoal canister and would clear up in a while, which it did and so a thanks to him for setting my mind at ease. Temps were as high 103, and it was sunny the whole time. I hit 55 degrees along the coast on my way home yesterday, it was nice to get back to normal. I thought I was going to get whiplash in Vegas looking at all the "scenery" but I made it out of there without rear ending the cars in front of me. Here you go!
