Yep, put some miles on today. Even with the stop at the dealer we made it from Aliance, NE into WY, all the way through CO and now in Raton, NM for the night. Gonna go over and see the Grand Canyon tomorrow.
Laura said to tell everyone HI!

Glad to hear all is well with your bike Lucky! We figured out what was wrong with mine too that kept making it stall. Made it home safely last night. Pics to follow:-) Miss all of you guys!

Malissa, We are missing you guys and the entire group too....
Ok everyone here is a tip...Even if your wife wants to check off Nebraska, and New Mexico as other states visited, do NOT take the route I am taking home from Sturgis (SD->NE->WY->CO->NM->AZ->CA). We are now almost 1500 miles into our trip home and still 400+ from home. Getting there was only 1400 miles. Today we rode 600+ across New Mexico, and Arizona - which probably have comfortable weather at times, but not the middle of August, that's for damn sure. Between the 100+ temps and strong winds, my face looks like the sole of a worn out boot.
But even with the weather, we are having a great time. It has been a long time since just the two of us rode together on a trip like this. We are in Williams, AZ and going out for a nice steak dinner!!!
Here's a picture from earlier today. Rest of the pics will be in my albums tomorrow...

Don't forget the sun block!!!!! Have fun you guys! Looking foward to seeing more photos

Glad to hear all is going well, was a minor thing on the bike (YAY!) and you two are having fun! Ride safe and enjoy the Grand Canyon!

We just made it home Lucky! Had a great time with everyone and I am just glad we made it home finally. I look pretty much like a raccoon. I will post some pics tomorrow.
It was great to meet so many wonderful people.
Cyclefish friends are the very best!

Thanks all. We just got back from a great steak dinner here in Williams. First real meal in two weeks..We have had nothing but fast food on the road and rally food. Almost forgot what a vegetable tasted like.
One more wake up and we are on the final leg to home!!!!!

It was great to meet you Mike from Milwaukee!
August 16, 2010 12:00 PM PDT
WE MADE IT!!! We are home safe after another long day running from Williams, AZ all the way here. Even though it was our shortest day at 400 miles, the last stretch home always seems the longest...especially if you have to cross the Mojave Desert on the way!
I am going to spend an hour or so in the pool, then I will upload all the pictures from our ride and the rally. What a GREAT time with some really GREAT people!!!
August 16, 2010 12:16 PM PDT
Good to hear you made it home safe !!!! This place just wouldn't be without you and Laura !!!!!!
August 16, 2010 12:37 PM PDT
Glad you two are home safe! Sounds like quite a trip.
Mike, it sure was great meeting you too. You are a good guy:-)
August 16, 2010 12:43 PM PDT
Sounds like an amazing ride! Can't wait to see all your pics! Wish Gina and I were there!
August 16, 2010 1:46 PM PDT
Glad everyone had a great time and all made it home safely.
