Ride from California to Texas
« on: April 12, 2017, 04:23:54 PM »
Double checked tires oil and everything.  I weighed the cargo, and have 42 lbs onboard.  Was going to start tomorrow but I think I'll leave today and start with a short leg.

The Before Picture.

Wheels up at 1800.  Here's a pic from San Francisquito Cyn at dusk.  Stopped for the night near Rosamond.

Trash bags, check.

Cold outside, going wheels up by zero-five, getting bundled up hydrated and heading out thru Edwards to I-40 via the 58

Day 2- Ride from California to Texas
« Reply #10 on: April 14, 2017, 12:25:30 AM »
Rode from Rosamond CA, to Albuquerque NM.  I only took a couple pictures because really all I did was ride!  Covered about 750 miles.  I saw the big green and blue Colorado River and I saw snowy peaks above Flagstaff AZ.  Got a picture of a B-52 at dawn and I tried to get a picture of the New Mexico sunset.  That's all for now.  Going for another 700 tomorrow.

I see a bagger with a tour pack in your future.....maybe a Street Glide with a quick release tour pack....or an Ultra Classic.....maybe even a CVO.  :bananarock:

I warned you when we were talking at the Rock Store.....the long distance rides get very addicting.   :huepfenlol2:

I'm in Phoenix AZ.  Logged 2602 miles so far since Wed evening.  I've got a few pictures and thoughts to post when I get home tonight...  Focusing on the ride at this point.  And a cup of Circle K coffee.
