The original intention was to ship my own across but in the end chose to rent to avoid putting the mileage on my own.

It's been a while but I've finally had a chance to go through several hundred photos from my tour of the American West and I've put together a short slideshow. I hope you enjoy it. I'm still working on the video but hopefully some extracts will follow shortly. My American tour

I had an excellant day. Fixed a puncture, rode from McCall to Baker City, had new tyres fitted and then had a short 160 mile to break them in on the roads to the west before returning to Baker City for the celebrations. I'm now in Boise with the IBA until Sunday Morning, and then I have to...

4 days to go and I've almost worn out another set of tyres. Pulled into my hotel in McCall Id tonight and I find a large nail in the rear tyre. I've pulled and plugged it and will check the pressure in the morning before I head to Baker City. If there are problems I'm told there is a dealer...

It was fine, a little rough in places but it was well worth the ride and well within the capability of the FJR, some really excellent views at the top and once I get home I hope to share some photos and video I'm sure it was only a coincidence that I suffered a complete electrical failure on...

It was a good day, always nice to meet new friends. I'm in Moab now having spent yesterday visiting the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley before heading onto Bluff via the Moki Dugway (Hwy 261). Having taken the obligitory photo I came back down again and then suffered a complete electrical...

Hi Stef Its all going very well, problems with hotels have been solved. All I have to worry about know is getting a pr of tyres shipped to Bozeman for the last 1500 miles of the trip. Our colonial rebels have been very well behaved, although if I had been in the East I would have been...

I'm here (Mammoth Lakes that is). Internet connections are few and far between so have not been able to keep in touch as I hoped although I have tried to call you a couple of times. Called in at the California FODS meet yesterday and spent a couple of pleasent hours with Sacramento Mike and...

Arrived safely in Joseph on Friday. Had a couple of days to recover from the flights and I am now in Condon, Or after a very relaxed days riding. Should anyone have an uncontrollable desire to contact me the number of my cell phone is: 541 480 4040. Met up with LDRyder and his wife yesterday...

Posted in Joseph, Or on Friday pm, hopefully should arrive soon.

Hi If you PM me your address I'll put one in my suitcase before I set off Thursday morning (UK time) and post it to you once I'm in the US Dave

I've just read Skooters report and it looks like you had (excuse me) a grand time. I look forward to meeting you on Route 66 in a few weeks time. Dave

Oh I intend to Stef, and with 8GB of SD cards and 12 DV tapes I don't think there'll be a shortage of pictures, probably be stopping every 10 minutes.

Already done and printed

And I'm apprehensive, and excited at the same time. It's by far the longest journey I've undertaken ( I've done similar mileage over a fortnight but I have never ridden a bike for 26 days straight) and it will be very different than riding in western Europe but that's what it's all about and I'm...

Thanks for the advice and pictures. One possible option had been a Nevada SS1000 heading up past Reno, Winnemucca and Wendover but I do not think that is possible now as I have to pace myself. I have never ridden for 20 consecutive days and I do not want to do too much in the first half just in...

Failing that PM or email me your telephone number and I'll contact you. Hopefully by the time I reach Las Vegas I'll have a better idea of traffic conditions and will be able to give you a reasonably accurate ETA. I'll have to rely on you to pick a good rendezvous, anywhere with coffee should do.

I am considering changing the route for the 15th Sept. It may now be Death Valley-Badwater-Death Valley Jct-Beatty-Tonopah-Ash Springs-Las Vegas

I'll be riding from Death Valley to Las Vegas on Mon 15th and I'll be happy to meet up with anyone. Due to a poor turnout on the tour I am now travelling on my own so company would always be welcome. PM sent

Thanks
