NOTE: One of the greatest benefits of our Fine FJR Forum is all of the wonderful folks that you meet here, I had not seen Ed and Jacquie in a few years and it was like coming home to be riding with them! Even Bustanut joker, HotRodZilla and RadioHowie are OK, sort of (maybe!).

Southwest FJR Forum Riders, left to right: Standing is Arizona Jim, Jeff J., bbolesaz - Brian, Papa Chuy Viejo - BeemerDonS, BearTrax - Barry and AZGman - Gerard; seated are Ed - pegscraper and Jacquie - MsNASCAR.



The weather was cool but the skies were fantastic, I love my Arizona and especially Prescott and Sedona!

Thanks for the great ride Don and ride mates! 320 miles for me. I'm glad Ed was riding 2-up through Mingus Mountain and being cautious or I might have been culled from the pack! Yeeha!

As always it was a real pleasure riding and dining with you Gerard, there is a definite reason that Ed's nickname among the FJR Faithful is "pegscraper"!

If Mingus Mountain was Rt 89A through Jerome (either from Prescott or Cottonwood) then some caution is needed but there are just (s)miles of tight curves on that road. My pillion and I removed the peg feelers on that road a few times. I know of one Forumite that had a memorable event on one of those corners...
