Title: Riding Across America – English Spokane Here!
Post by: Jock on July 25, 2012, 10:34:09 PM
I have always considered myself to be blessed having been born in the United States of America.  In making such a statement that is not to imply that other continents are any less in their stature just to say I believe myself to be fortunate of that fact.

Another one of the many blessings I have been graced is to have the opportunity to ride this great land I live in.  And so I am off for my next adventure Spokane, WA for the West Coast GTG!  My plans will take me down some new and old territory which I am anxious to experience and relive!

Over the course of the next several days you will have the opportunity to share some of this experience with me.  The purpose of my sharing is not to boast but to give back to those of you that have shared your trips here too.  You see for me I extract so much from those reports and if you are like me I hope to benefit others along the way.  Of course if you just want to join in on the ride, hop aboard because here we go…

In full disclosure this year’s West Coast ride almost did not happen for me.  I have been faced with so many events that it appeared it would not be a possibility but it was not in GOD’s plan.  Isn’t great that his will be done!

So before I really started my journey I must conduct some business in TN so why not ride some of the “Trace”?

This bridge is located near Nashville on the Natchez Trace which is over 440 miles long.

Work is done!  Now it’s time to get rollin’…First stop would be in Kansas…It was plenty hot in the afternoon!  I had never experienced the feeling I got with I assumed was dehydrated.  Stopped a lot and finally had to call it a day.  Earlier than I had wanted but was getting a little dizzy.  Besides if you have seen on field you have seen them all right?

Next day I had some business to attend to and then on the roll again heading towards Colorado.

On a sadder note I was informed earlier this week that one of our employees was fatally injured in the recent theater bombing.  My heart goes out to the families and friends who had loved ones in that sad location at that time.  A moment of silence for all of the suffering as a result of this man’s actions…

Colorado is a beautiful state and I have been afforded the luxury of having been there in many places before so I did not spend much money there.  However I did have to replace a camera part that broke which did not help matters.  Against my better judgment I only brought one camera with me besides the .0000005 MP camera on my blackberry.  HA!

So now on to Utah where I had a couple of locations I could not get to in my last visit to this state.

Time to crank up the bike and head about an hour away. 

Prior to entering into my next location I fueled up at a stop where there were two bus loads of Japanese tourists.  Needless to say, No English Spokane there!  I wish I brought my camera inside the store.  There you would find these tourist taking photographs of the postcards and store photographs speaking in their native tongue.  As they purchased products they would hand the clerk so much more money than they needed to purchase the item.  Sure hope those clerks are honest.

Our next location has also been photographed dozens of times by site members and I knew it was a must see too!

Part of Zion’s uniqueness comes from its geology.  Great Basin and Mojave Desert soils tend to be similar over great distances.  But Zion’s stacked prehistoric environments erode onto many soils.

Well it would be here that the Park Ranger did not like my behavior.

#1  Made a left hand turn to get into a parking lot to take these shots
#2  Made a left hand turn out of the parking lot to go into the tunnel

Both of these moves we against the law and he made sure I understood that fact.  I would have said, “I’m out of town and I do not know any better” but I suspect there are 1,000s others like me and they did not conduct the violation.  All in all, nice fellow and I did indeed conduct the violation.

Stratigraphy, the study of rock layers reveals the relative age of the rocks before you at Zion…

Top to Bottom

Temple Cap Formation
Navajo Sandstone
Kayenta Formation
Moenave Formation
Chinle Formation
Petrified Forest Member
Shinarump Conglomerate
Moenkopi Formation

Bottom Line:  The stuff is older than Fired00d’s recent birthday!

A principle writing mistake some people make is being redundant. Great pictures Jock.

I really love the detail that you've pulled out of your shots of the Bryce Canyon shots. Carrying that big DLSR around is no easy trick on a motorcycle but it's sure as hell worth it. Keep 'em coming.

One of the mistakes that Terrie and I nearly made at Zion was staying on the road and not getting on the shuttle bus that takes you in to the heart of Zion.  For those who've never been, the shuttle bus is free....it stops every half mile or so and you get off where you want and back on where you want.  You're in to the park 20 min. and don't want to go any further, get off, go across the street and get back on.  I think the shuttles come by about every 7-10 minutes.  Incredable difference inside the park (can be gained by the shuttles only......no private vehicles up in the main part of the park).  I'm so glad that Terrie talked me in to riding the shuttle bus! :2vrolijk_21:

While I had not planned to roll to my next destination I found myself being gravitated to this area as my ride became longer.  Think you know where this is?

It shares an area which also has this highway…

Time to take the roads to St. Elsewhere…but before I do I needed some assistance from a stranger as I became distracted by the beauty and was traveling slow conducting the tight turn…Yep you know what happen!  DOWN GOES FRAZIER or in this case me.  With the additional weight onto the bike I was struggling and a older man from TN stopped and helped me.  God really was looking after me that day with such an ignorant move on my part.  Had a nice conversation with him and he lived in the area I frequent.  He appeared to be ok after assisting me and I nursed my hand and got on the way.

Now you can enjoy the waterfront from the Sound in a number of ways…that could be interesting me (aka – Duffy Duck)

Or you could spend much more and take in one of these…perhaps even enjoy some dining too

So I leave for Spokane on Monday morning and down the road a piece I see several CVOs going in a different direction ~ 150 miles from Spokane.  I think it looks like some of the Cail Krewe.  I decide to take the next exit and look at a map.  Checking my phone I received a text from Marty…a few miles later I found them.  What a surprise!  I hooked up with them and we headed to Leavenworth for lunch!

Now there was a little twist to the bike show as Gabe did not inform us that another group would be riding in to judge our machines.  At this point we did not know if we should prepare for a gun or a knife fight or perhaps this would be a civil group and we could co-exist.  Their name…the Minions and the may have a devil on their machines.  Well that is all I needed to know and besides I knew we had a stun gun as a part of the door prizes.  Let’s Roll because here they come!

This was no ordinary krewe!  Just like us they had a rainbow of colors, a wide range of models and varying engine sizes!  This was going to be a tough fight for sure!  Perhaps we had met our match!?

So a few of us were led by Keith to the Snake Pit, a location that Marty and krewe had visited before for a beverage.

Well this would be our final day of riding together and it is sad to see it coming to an end.  However I am confident today’s ride will be another great one!

Our first stop would take us to a wonderful location.  This place had the largest cinnamon rolls I have ever seen!

You are a stud! I have been laid up since July 6th after lung surgery and it is killing me not to be out there on my bike and I have been sustaining myself going on this forum (the only forum I really like) every day and for the last week or so have been looking forward to your posts. I really appreciate it and though we don't know each other, after the last week I feel like I'm right with you. Keep posting and ride safe out there. I don't want anything to stop you from continuing...

The next part of my journey would take me to some cool places too.

Red Lodge is a resort and ranching community with a mining past.  It is at the base of the highest mountain range in Montana, the Beartooths and there are several mountain peaks rising over 12,000 feet.  Red Lodge is surrounded by Custer National Forest and has an elevation of ~ 5,500 feet.

The Beartooth Highway was built to lure tourists to Red Lodge which was financially suffering from the coal industry.  The name “Beartooth” is derived from a rock formation in this mountain range resembling a bear’s tooth.  The road is ~ 30 miles long from Red Lodge and the summit of the pass is ~ 11,000 feet.

Jock,
Outstanding string of posts...  Thanks a million for sharing with us.
Was a real pleasure meeting you and the others while you passed through Spokane.

Looking forward to crossing paths again - hopefully before too many moons pass us all.

Safe Travels my friend.

Welcome to the 72nd Sturgis Rally!  This year’s event promises to be everything that you have experienced in pervious rallies and more.  Time will tell if that is true!  Of course there are bikes, beer, bands, booze, babes, bars and a lot more b’s to be had here! 

Let’s start out with an item that the Myth Busters wanted addressed!  Will Harley-Davidson be at this year’s rally or will they not!

Since we are playing the ABC game and we are on the B’s our first B was Black Hills Harley-Davidson.  Our second B is for Brats…History Channel Brats at that!  I am starting to believe that there is not a segment that will not promote their products here!

What is our next B you ask?  Well its booze!  Jack Daniel’s too!  Not only Jack Daniels but for you rookies that need some assistance as to how to drink, Jack Daniels is here to help!

Now would be a good time to remind everyone not to drink and drive/ride!

For you heavy drinkers and you know who are you can now take home the barrel!  Why run out at the peak time!  Bust open one of these and you are good for the night…I hope!

Just remember if you drink and drive/ride you may get another B…Busted!  Enjoy your ride in the back of one of these…Even in the “City of Riders”!

Our next B relates to Believe!  On this day I needed this next visit and it was to the Chapel In The Hills.  This is an exact replica of the Borgund Stavkirke built about 1150 and located near Laerdal Norway.

My error on the year of the bike! HA!  While the bike was not repaired it did get mended to ride thanks to hd-dude and his conversion with a misguided tech at the dealership. The dealership was accommodating and I am thankful to both Jim and the dealership. Still have some miles to cover and should be back on Sunday.

I really enjoyed the pics. Alot of the dressers were pretty but not very streetable for long trips. I dont think the large rake will handle well  and front end will be stiffer ride.
and some bikes had no ground clearance. Do they ever ride the twisties. NOT!!! Turning radius would be bad. Havin a pretty bike is fine but it should also be ridable cfor cross county trips and enjoying the roads. Some of those bikes would not survive the campground parking and roads at Sturgis.
Thanks,

Good question and at this time I do not have the answer.  What I can tell you is the bike was running fine until I went to crank it up that morning.  On the first try it backfired and would not crank after that.  The motor would turn but would not run.  The battery was fine.

The bike was towed to the dealer which was lucky only a few miles down the road.  A tech first told me that I had a problem with the tuner and it would need to be replaced and retuned.  While I am not a tech nor that knowledgeable that did not sound correct to me.  I informed him that I would call the person who tuned the bike ad maybe he could help him.  I contacted hd-dude (Jim) and he consulted with the tech.  The tech reluctantly returned to the bike and suddenly one hour later said he got the bike running but I had to disconnect ACM.  The front spark plug was black and both plugs were replaced.  

The bike run fine going home but not knowing what occurred caused concern for me during the ride.  Once I have it checked out here I will let you know...

If I have anything to do with it I can promise you they will...Kayla should come first always and you already know that and will place her there!  Looking forward to that day.

But first I still have to get that bike repaired!
