And what are opps?

Opps are what Photobucket posts when your pictures are linked incorrectly. All others see is squares with Photobucket Opps text saying "your image was linked incorrectly, please visit your account for the correct link."

You may see the pics, possibly because you are logged in to photobucket, but no one else is.

Thank you. I do see them fine while not logged into photobucket, I'll see what I can do

 

[big ears]

I see them. About five photos. They are great. Been there, makes me want to go back. I mean eight photos. I went back and counted.

You fixed it. Great shots.

All I can say is, AWESOME!!!!

 

[UHOH]

great photos and the right number, too.

not so many that it takes a bit of waiting to open the thread...

also amazed that in your shot of Monument Valley, shadow suggests mid-day,

but you're not sweating up a storm.

Captain...

i like that configuration of your bike with the rear luggage occupying the space of the passenger.

who makes the bag / at what price / does the luggage come configurable to be placed there or is it something you did on your own?

Except for 2 days, I was very fortunate with the weather on the trip (not to hot).

The luggage trunk is a Givi V46 trunk. The bracket to position the trunk over the passenger seat I fabricated from aluminum and had it powder coated. The bracket clamps around the tubes of the Givi rack. I have been using it for 2 years and have been quite happy with it. One disadvantage is that it has to be unbolted to remove the seat. The seat is a Corbin.

Gord,

Love the photos. Any chance of getting a more detailed report from ya? I mean, that's too long a ride to share so little. Did anything interesting happen (close calls, brushes w/nature, strange people...)?

(My daughter lives in Goose Creek, and I've been playing with an epic ride over there from Oregon. Not this year, sadly.)

Do you know where you took this one? Which road? Look pretty interesting up towards the top

Beautiful scenes Gord.

But the one that grabbed me was this>

Talk about a "table by the window."

What's the name of the establishment?

I hope to be headed back to the SW later this fall, and I'd love to drink a beer with beemerdons, with that

as a backdrop. It'd be awful romantic. :blink:
