Wow, that was some good fun in Park City.
Major kudos to Tim (TWN) and his possee for putting on a great event. All you guys did a great job and it is obvious that you're tweaking and perfecting a solid methodology for these events. All your efforts showed and are appreciated. GOOD WORK, the fun meter was at the rev-limiter.
Showed up in Park City Wednesday to heavy rain after two days of zig-zagging Nevada, including Great Basin Nat Park.
Rain Wednesday afternoon in Park City ...rode through this much of the afternoon.
Spent Wed night in Salt Lake City. Many of you may have noticed that I remodeled that town from top to bottom ...a whole different place now.
Thursday morning I put on a tire that I had ordered and was waiting for me. Did this to hopefully make the trip back to reno on this 2nd tire ..but these roads in Colorado are so good I don't think I'll make it home without yet another rear tire.
Here is George going over the details of the SS1K and BBG rides.
Thursday afternoon lots of good fun and later a riders' meeting for the ss1k and bbg ride on Friday. It was here my theme for this road trip would get it's name. You see, George Z (beeroux) made up rally towels for all riders. The towel George gave me said "MOLESTER" . I'd like to think that this refers to the way I like to Molest roads on the FJR ...but I'm afraid the label may be in reference to those nevada incidences of dressing farm animals up in women's clothing.
MAJOR kudos to george for putting on these rides. A superb job of putting routes together (damn challenging) and he did it in a very unique way: "Rally style"
So, this was much more than a "typical BBG of logging miles on boring roads collecting gas receipts".
Instead, it was a very challenging route, 9 pictures were required at specific locations and these pictures needed to included a specified POI as well as the bike and rally towel. I can't say enough for the challenging route and fun of this theme. It was tough, it was fun, and often when folks do BBG's or other routes they're on slab or boring roads ...not this one. When you can ride the best of roads, have fun riding and at the end of the day have over 1500miles in under 24hours ---well, it doesn't get much better. I'm new to the LD and rally stuff, but I'm no stranger to having fun on bikes and hard riding. This ride brought it all together. No real time for taking regular pics on a ride like this as time is tight and the pace is hard ..here is the ONLY regular picture I took during the ride. Too bad, as we saw some of the best of Utah on this ride.
I had so much fun on this unique BBG ride that I didn't want it to end ....so George, I hope you'll appreciate that I've kept it going ...you'll see my "MOLESTER" rally towel in many of the pics (below) of this current road trip.
Saturday night was good fun and I want to thank Don Carver (DCarver) for the many cocktails. Some good fun, good folks and I was still going strong with the beveraqes and fun when some people were leaving to head home (toecutter, warchild, mr. chapman). Probably the craziest event of the night was after some great silly dialogue with Don Carver, we bent a clothes hanger into the shape of the CBA logo and with a butane torch heated it red-hot and branded each other. **** that hurt ..and still does. Sure looking forward to the next round of fun DCarver ....
Sunday I headed toward Flaming Gorge and Colorado. I've spent a few days here in Colorado and will continue to explore and molest this state for a few more days.
Overlooking Flaming Gorge (with the BBG rally towel)
Entering Colorado ...(still keeping the rally going)
Found this great little place to stay in Meeker CO. I needed some sleep after 4 days of sleepless WFO fun and this spot was the ticket. After some fun downtown with the locals ...hit this cozy bed and fell into a coma for 10hours. Damn that felt good.
A classic FJ next to my rust-bucket in Walden CO
Great riding and good food so far in CO
This state is beautiful ....trying to keep the rally going at the columbine lodge
So, a few more days molesting Colorado WFOrally style ......I'll update more later
cheers and molestation from Colorado. .....renojohn
