Miles, miles and 'mo miles.....

[Warchild]

... which is why I ain't been posting much lately, cuz I've been on the road.  

These last 8 days, I've been riding around most of the Desert West.... Great Basin and Death Valley, in particular.  Here's a shot at the edge of the Great Basin, near the California/Nevada border... pity the smoke from fires in northern California blotted out the clear blue sky:

Death Valley, not too far from Furnace Creek:

This is The Devil's Cornfield in the center of Death Valley, It was about 9am here, and 105 degrees F:

Well, I'm outta here tomorrow for another week of riding, this time to Colorado. Got to attend the Yamaha FJR1300 National Meet, since I am one of the co-rallymasters.  I believe I will be the only Hayabusa in attendance.  

See ya in a week, folks.....

Thanks for the update. I was hoping to see you in Spokane for the 100 year motorcycle celebration this weekend. oh, well. Next time.

Looks like that front tire is getting worn pretty good. What are you running on?

Do you mean the July 19-20 weekend? It's too bad I didn't know about such event. I have been looking for an excuse to ride from Seattle to Spokane.

Does the event have a website?

PD. Sorry for going off-topic here

Truth be told, that front tire is the old Dunlop Qualifier that was on the bike during the Utah 1088 at the end of June. Some may recall I DNF'ed that event due to the rear Qualifier tread melting away in the conditions. So I had to mount up a Conti Road Attack on the back there in Salt Lake City in order to get home.

That front Qualifier had about 5500 miles on it when this photo was taken. While it looks (in the 3rd photo down) like it has no tread left, it actually does.

Regardless, both the rear Road Attack and the front Qualifier are off the bike now; I just mounted up a fresh set of Avon Storms yesterday for the run to Colorado tomorrow night.

Oh well, guess that means my weekends will be full for a while
