The mushrooms having taken full effect, my traveling companion in the car behind and I stopped to roll some of that low grade ganja for a quick smoke along the Colorado River between Glenwood Springs and Grand Junction. And it was then that I noticed the ol' Dodge come to life sonically. With no radio, only the roaring of the engine and wind were there to sing. And so it was -- amazing how much fidelity became apparent in the imagined performance of "Happiness is a Warm Gun" by that ol' Dodge as it rattled and roared in perfect time and amazing harmony.

Ahh, the 'seventies. Remember 'em?

Yeah, me neither. . :blink:
The only part of the seventies I remember is....well, I have to look at my birth certificate :)

 
Not sure.

Rushes is visiting, ... and we've been hammered since breakfast.
That is indeed the nicest thing about drinking with Rushes, you never have to drink alone! He always brings his Uncle Jack Daniels, his Cousin Jim Beam and his Nephews, the Dickel Brothers, along with him! jes' sayin' and nuff' said!

 
...and into Utah.

By now, concrete corncobs (the midwest) are a distant memory.

Well you know Old Michael, you can take BikerGeek99 Andy out of the corncobs, but you can't take the corncobs out of...Oh, wait just a minute, I can't say it; that would be even ruder than rushes!

Don, I got the route files and want to make a suggestion for the segment from Santa Clara to Bodega Bay. Rather than take the superslab through San Francisco, stay on Skyline Blvd and take the loop along the Great Hwy past the SF zoo and Cliff House and into the Presidio. It comes out right at Ft. Point at the Golden Gate and is really worth the extra time.

That IS the plan... I have a super secret route along Hwy 1, past the Legion of Honor, Marshall Beach (Lincoln Blvd), and pop right out onto the bridge. Once across the GGB, will take the Marin Headlands loop to the west side of the bridge for some unparalleled views. B)

 
Looks like the rolling cluster feck has landed in Tropic, Utah just outside Bryce Canyon NP after what appears to have been a nice day for riding -- you better have some pics, guys!! :clapping:

Think I'll go back to packing for next weekend. My FJR got new iridium plugs and air filter today; electrical connectors got unhooked and hit with contact cleaner while tank was off. All hooked up for the TBS, but it's raining, cold and almost dark, so opening the garage door to run it for that job will have to wait 'til tomorrow. Prolly lube the splines and U-Joint then too.

This is Mark from karl's computer...

Will you guy's knock it off...we're trying to get some sleep here. Two great days of travel...the dusting of snow in the Rockies was spectacular...as was Escalante. New York Strip steak for Karl, full slab o ribs for me with a tall glass of local draft. mmmmmm

BTW, minimal on the pictures...due to starting out late due to the fear of icing at the top of the passes. All I can say is that EVERYBODY has to do Utah 12.

Starting out, Denver guy was right...very cold and wet. It was REALLY foggy with about 34 on Karls bike readout...so yeah, I was worried about elevated bridges/overpasses.

The sweepers west of Vail were fun! Glenwood Canyon area was under construction.

Have the Germans invaded Utah? Mein Gott! They're everywhere!

All right...LIGHTS OUT!!! Gehe zum bett, jetzt! Yer waking up the whole neighborhood with yer chatter....

 
12 is a good one for sure. You'll find the Germans at all our Southwestern National Parks on up to Yosemite. Sorry to read your loss in the Candy Butt Assoc. status now that your pounding out some real miles :lol:

 
Wheatie's CBA membership is still good.

Coming into Brighton, CO all we need to do to clinch the SS 1000 was to circle the block a couple of times, but would Mark go the extra mile, NOooo!

I brought the map over from the other thread to see just where tus Pendejos Grandes are going to next.

If I have Frick and Frack figured out, looks like Beatty tonight, and then Santa Barbara tomorrow night.

Thought the same thing a couple nights ago, Don. But Frick and Frack seem to have made a wrong turn at St. George, so who knows how much of the rest of the c-feck is now in uncharted waters? Still, I'ma gonna guess that they're just rerouting to Beatty via a more southern, more direct route that is more compliant with CBA standards.

 
Posted in post #706 in the other thread, this is probability a better place.

exskibum Rich is right, it does appear that Mopsy and Flopsy are deviating from their original route.

Along with the maps sent to Mark, I gave him a copy of "Best Nevada Cathouses"! That's the way!
