Phoenix Chill Time

It seems weird to get up and not be staring at maps trying to figure out where I'm going.  Major props and thanks to Gingles for letting me crash at his pad for a few days - looking forward to seeing Phoenix and getting some Gingles-Time down here!

I should probably talk a little bit about my gear and stuff I brought along for this trip seeing I've made it for 5 days on two-wheels traveling to and through places I've never been.  To begin with I've been wearing a basic water-proof Firstgear jacket and connecting pants (they don't make the jacket anymore) http://www.firstgear-usa.com/fgweb3.nsf/home?openform and it's been really comfortable during all the weather changes and even ok for the hike I did with the vents open along with AlpineStar boots http://www.alpinestars.com/Ridge_Waterproof_Boot/pd/c/113/np/113/p/244207.html.  Probably the most important piece of gear has to be the base layer that I was very impressed with.  I am a gear person and have plenty of technical & performance shirts, but I rocked a bamboo shirt for this trip http://www.footprintbamboo.com/men-long-sleeve-bamboo-base-layer.aspx and could not have been happier with it!  If you know me I have my OCD tendencies and tend to shower at least twice a day and like to be clean - so wearing this bamboo shirt for over 2000 miles for 5 days in a row sans washing probably sounds pretty gross, but this shirt totally rocks!!  Does NOT smell and kept me comfortable in all the temperature changes experienced.  Same with the bamboo socks - so comfy and gave me happy feet...both are being washed today - major props to Footprint Bamboo :D

On the Uly I installed some aluminum panniers from http://www.whitehorsegear.com/ that were supposed to go on my KLR, but that mount has been used as a daily commuter in the city so no need for aluminum cases with the tail case.  The cases I purchased are no longer available, probably b/c they were so inexpensive.  I connected the cases with a Happy Trails rack and puck system http://www.happy-trail.com/Products/Buell-Ulysses-SU-Side-Rack__HTP2-1-1B.aspx and after smashing into a concrete wall with the left one can attest the quality and strength of both :o  The Ortlieb large dry bag http://www.ortliebusa.com/default.asp is attached with two ROK Straps http://www.rokstraps.com/ and two orange bungee straps from WalMart.  What seems to get the most comments from everyone on this trip are the fuel packs http://www.rotopax.com/ mounted on the panniers - I think they are the bomb - carrying extra fuel you can go a lot further without having to think about stopping and even help out anyone along the way if they run out.  I found the Cortech 18liter http://www.tourmaster.com/xcart/catalog/Cortech-p-1-c-2.html seems to fit the Buell air intake box (it's not a gas tank - gas is stored in the frame on the Uly) pretty well, but it will require some re-positioning during the ride after a big crosswind hit.  I also installed a CeeBailey touring windscreen, but they get no props because it's cracked, but that maybe do to too much torque on one of the screws.  I'll look at new windscreens when I return home.  I picked up all these things over the course of 6 months and researched plenty of options - props for all the FARKLE

So with all that stuff attacked to the Uly I packed enough clothing for all the weather - extra riding jacket & pants, camera, mini video cameras, rescue knife, two flasks of Jim Beam (post ride only!), tent, sleep bag, waterproof hat, lots of cool t-shirts with skulls on them, a few books and my laptop.  Now that I've unpacked most of it on Gingles floor I'm sure I could've brought more!  Of course to me the most important thing I brought on this trip is my Traveler Guitar http://www.travelerguitar.com/products/escape-series/eg-1/ :D

You can guess that I've just been relaxing all day today doing nothing and happy to do so with a Corona in my hand and looking forward to a Friday in Phoenix.  Happy Friday to everyone!!!

Catch The Sun

Quite the ride today from New Mexico to Arizona...all day riding in the sun seemed to make me ride faster but also took more energy.  I left NM a after 9am and got to my destination in AZ at 4:45pm - I made quite a few stops for pics and video and even stopped for a lunch break.  All the other days riding I just ate Zone bars and drank water until I got to where I was going.  I did find some kicks on route 66 which is now named route 118.  I am also wonder what X4 means - almost every sign on route 66 was tagged with it so much that you can't really read the signs.  Route 66 is far more enjoyable than the route that replaced it - 40.  While on 40 you can go really fast - it's totally straight and very boring to ride unless you like to pass hundreds of large trucks - which was kind of fun too for awhile.  Route 66 on the other hand is two lanes, has curves and you can still go fairly fast in some sections and get some good lean into the curves.  New Mexico and Arizona along the way share a love of Indians (I really jammed through the Navajo nation), dinosaurs and rocks.  You can also buy tons of Indian jewelry and clothes - lots of places for this on route 66.

Once I got around Flagstaff in AZ there was a noticeable rise in the temperature - wearing full riding gear with a courier bag and guitar strapped to my back was not comfortable if I was not moving, speed felt good and the closer to Phoenix the hotter it got.  The Uly also has a hot spot that will cook your inner right hamstring if you stop or just don't go fast enough...so yeah I was moving pretty fast to get off the bike in this heat and throw on the flip flops.

Checked out a weekly bike gathering with Gingles that was really cool.  Mad bikes and sounds everywhere!  My dad will be stoked to know the brothers still dress up their rides with lights everywhere :)  I felt kind of weird because the Uly looked like crap - 1400+ miles in 5 days and I didn't clean it at all so you can imagine how dirty it was especially sitting next to Gingles clean HD and all the other bikes...Uly's are meant to be dirty and show where they've been!  My Uly has definitely done it's job and gone through just about every kind of weather - I'm sure some of the bikes at that show have never seen dirt, rain or snow.  Another fine performance from the Uly - looking forward to spending a few days in Phoenix and just taking some simple trips on the Uly around town

I'm totally about to pass out right now from a full day of riding and a good time with Gingles and meeting some of his riding people...having a hard time finishing this one beer, but really happy to be here and looking forward to the 90+ degrees and AZ sun.

By The Time I Get to Arizona

The morning sun is shining and a great day is beginning...nothing better than some sunrise guitar to get some feel flowing in my brain and then clean up - load up.  The southwest is experiencing some record highs for this time of year and I will be riding west so the sun will be behind me and supposedly there's no wind.  Maybe I won't need to use the heated grips today - I can't believe the huge difference those grips make for comfort even just turning them on for a few minutes to give the hands something to feel.

I should mention the GPS has began working again, but I have been looking at maps in the morning and then just writing down route numbers and directions for the top of my tank bag.  Of course once on the road I tend to just read the signs or stop for fuel and see what advice people will suggest and follow those more than anything.  Anyone that has ever taken a ride with me or tried to plan something knows I never really know exactly where I'm going most of the time (or when I'm going to get there) but somehow I end up where I'm going and usually on time.  Nothing better than getting lost along the way and seeing something new!

Looking at the map I think I maybe able to roll down Route 66 for a few kicks!  Today's ride should cover about 466 miles and I will be in Phoenix. Totally looking forward to some Gingles time and bike week!

"Painted blue across my eyes and tie the linen on

is it to the sky and down?"

Desert Rose

Another fine sunshiny day and more than 400 miles of desert riding.  The day started off with me meeting a local and his dog Heathen (named after his grandkids) He really liked the American motorcycle and advised me of some nice roads to enjoy in the area.  I had to checkout Arches National Park, $5 gets a motorcycle in for a whole week - I so wish I had more time in that park, but I managed to travel about 40 miles in there taking all sorts of pictures & video and even took a nice hike.  Met a family and their friends that traveled from Olympia, WA & Los Angeles - the dudes were in the Navy back in the day and liked that the Uly looked setup to go anywhere - they really liked the external fuel packs.  The ladies were curious about the mandolin on my back so I had to show them it was a guitar.  Then they had to have some pics of the guitar as they had never seen one before - they thought I built it myself.  So obviously if I pull out the guitar I had to play them some songs - they seemed pretty excited and took a bunch of pics...glad I could provide some entertainment for part of their vacation :D

The Uly was awesome in the park!  Lots of low-speed switchbacks (15mph), elevation changes, and slippery red dirt. The smooth power of the Uly was dead on!  Always nice to know a loaded down moto can be easy to maneuver in some tight situations.  I have to admit the Uly is pretty good on some of the easy off-road stuff for a big twin, but seeing all the mountainbikes out there I really wanted to do some two-wheeled pedaling - everyone was saying this was the best day of the year so far.  Such a fun park for any two-wheels if you can handle those hills - I saw a dude riding up there on a unicycle - that was intense!!

After all that fun I still had to visit a new state and figure out where I was going.  Lunch at the Moab Brewery was a good place to figure that out.  Not only do they have great beer, but the rootbeer was so delicious along with their Jack Daniels chicken salad sandwich.  So I figure visit the Four Corners and then checkout someplace in northwest NM to stay.  Moab I will see you again for some adventure, and next time I will NOT be a tourist!

Leaving Moab reminded me that I am in the desert - I'd consider Moab a friendly desert because it's developed and you can find all levels of whatever outdoor activity you fancy.  Everywhere you go in Moab signs and people tell you to make sure you have lots of water and drink it - good to heed that advice.  Riding south the reds begin to fade and turn more desert colors - you still find the amazing arches and rock formations, but there's not much else.  The roads go on for miles and miles and you see amazing things formed by the earth's erosion over the centuries of time.  I see these little green plants or maybe they are flowers every so often but lots of dry dead vegetation and tumbleweeds.  The first tumbleweed I saw blow across the road in front me I watch and thought that's like in the movies - then the crosswind hit me and I was back to the lean against the wind.  All the signs that say "Extreme Wind Area Next 5 Miles" get me all ready to brace for the wind were just signs with no wind.  But really just paying attention to the things blowing across the road works best.  The weather was perfect for the ride today - the sun at my back, mid 70's and keeping a steady 80mph most of the way.

So probably 200 miles later I take a left to go 10 miles out of the way to head to the Four Corners Monument to only find it closed for repairs.  Oh well - I just headed over to Colorado and took a pic of the Uly under the Welcome to Colorado sign and headed for NM.  I've spent alot of time in CO so I just wanted to get the Uly into another state just so I can say I did ride there too :-p

The desert feels like a lonely place but there was the history of the earth right in front of me - I love history and having all this around me made me feel really connected to our great country's landscape and mother earth.  You could see time have it's way with everything in the desert - all phases of roadkill from fresh to bones all there to see.  All the man-made structures in all phase - old and falling down and new places shining under the desert sun.  I didn't seen any Bighorn Sheep, but saw plenty of horses, mules, bulls, cows, deer and birds.  I did see a bull's skull mounted on the front of a Volkswagon Rabbit - maybe they had Dodge Ram envy?  I pulled over quite a bit on this stretch and took plenty of pictures of roads that disappear into the distance or seem to be swallowed by the immense rocks and shapes that are the desert.  

So now just chillin' in NM with flask and guitar in hand - tomorrow I'll head to Phoenix and meet up with Willie G and check out bike week.  It's been a sweet ride by myself, but it will be great to meet up with a good friend and have the Uly and Gingles' Harley make some sweet big twin rumblings.

"The morning is dead and the day is through
there's nothing left here to lead me, but the velvet moon
all my loneliness I have felt today
it's a little more than enough, to make a man throw himself away
but I continue to burn the midnight lamp - alone"

Moab Sunshine

Good Day Sunshine!  The sun, blue sky and red rocks make for an amazing background/playground here!  Time for me to clean up and pack up the Uly for some exploring and get some pics & video of this awesome ass place!  

When I started this trip I had a goal of visiting a state where I have not left my dust and that place would be New Mexico.  My personal rules for saying I've been to a place, state or whatever are one must leave some waste (bathrooms are good for that), consume a meal, have a drink or spend a night.  Airports do not count just nor does a train ride, but driving through a state counts even if you don't stop, unless it's Rhode Island - hahaha...at current count I am at 44 states visited and hopefully sometime today I will increase that to 45 :D

Moab to Santa Fe looks to Farmington, NM looks to be about 4hrs and is near the 4 corners...4 states meeting at one stop could be a good spot.  Not at all sure where I'm heading right now except that I will ride south and figure it out.

"There goes ezy, ezy ryder
riding down the highway of desire
he says the free wind
takes him higher
searchin' for his heaven above
but he's dyin' to be loved
dyin' to be loved"

Moab Magic

Holy Moly!!

What a day/night - not sure where to begin as the day started out in Burley, ID with the weather threatening to rain by mid morning so I high-tailed it out before and actually did beat the rains out of ID.  They weren't kidding about the strong winds - I had a permanent lean heading southeast on 84 to UT against a serious southern wind that I've learned was a nice 30mph wind with gusts of 40....yeah leaning that hard just to go straight for about 40 miles was a serious workout at 80mph :D  Leaving ID with sunshine in front of me and dark clouds in the mirror was really inspiring for me to lay some miles down.  ID is beautiful and I made sure to take some pics in the "High  Crosswind" and "Sandstorm" areas, but they are still in late winter as some people made sure to let me know they don't see many motorcycles out this time of year...yeah ready to leave!

I have to give major props to the Uly today - no hiccups or losing it's groove; just plenty of power and stability for a solid 8hrs of spirited riding...did I mention that gobs of mad power and torque to pass anything on the road and a calm cruising speed of 80+mph?  The Uly is sounding alot richer with a sweet exhaust note that just begs a twist of the throttle.  So far for 1100+ miles I have only listened to the music inside my head (and there's tons of that) and the sound of the Uly...OH YEAH!!!

Yesterday's cold wet winter experience was replaced with all four seasons today.  As soon as entering UT not only was I amazed at the mountain scenery and warmer temps, but I could see shadows of clouds on the road in front of me and whenever entering a dark cloud area got some snow with the drop in the temperature that was followed by sunshine and warmth.  I counted about a half dozen clouds that dropped snow for more than a few miles but that would be it - I could smell rain, but never got wet on this day :)  The worst part of the ride was through Salt Lake City - it seems all city riding is the same - lots of cagers not following the law and just randomly changing lanes with no concern for anyone else on the road.  The Uly was awesome there with power always being there for me to ride in space away from that craziness with a few bursts of 90+mph to stay away.  After getting south of Salt Lake City I jammed on US 6 which was just amazing!  Some fun two lane riding with passing lane on the uphills - now I know why the Uly has a flash to pass switch :) At 7700+ft the Uly had no problems blasting past anything on the road.  I did stop to take some pics & video but found it hard to stop with so much fun road.  It snowed up there too with some wild crosswinds and sudden temp drops, but only for a few miles at a stretch.  The scenery on US6 is amazing!  The colors and terrain are so worth the ride - not to mention the signs displaying "Dangerous Curves" - I think the Uly was made for those curves as it felt very comfortable and I never had to hesitate on any line.

After some straight stretches where it appeared I could see for miles and miles (so 110+mph feels pretty stable as well :) I took some pics and began to see big white fluffy clouds in the blue sky that were reflecting some hints of red....Moab was ahead!  I was so excited to get there that I didn't stop for fuel and was about to run out 10 miles outside of Moab so I stopped and finally got to use one of the external fuel packs to freshen up my tank. While I was fueling a dude on a new KLR rode by and of course I gave him a big wave and he waved back.  After the fuel I actually caught up to that dude and he looked to be having a hard time as he pulled to the side of the road - I doubled back to check on him but he seemed ok - I think either he was a beginner or just got the KLR as he waved me off.  Made me think of my KLR sitting at home...almost wish I had it here, well actually made me wish I had a KLX250 up here.  The Uly is a great touring adventure bike, but as I'm learning it's off-road manners are very nervous - I couldn't help but take the Uly in some of the red dirt up here where the pavement ends, it's not the machine for that stuff, but it looks bad ass in the pics I took :D

So I'm sure everyone has heard of Moab and knows of it's red rocks and that it's an outdoor mecca for anything outdoors.  There seems to be a magical energy of this place - the smells are different the air is mellow  but with energy and the red rocks, cliffs, water and trails are so intense.  I so want to rent a mountainbike and get my single-track on, but I think I'm just going to be tourist this trip and take lots of pictures and casually ride around looking at stuff...anyone want to plan a future trip here?

After riding around on paved and unpaved roads until the sunset taking plenty of pics I had to find a good beer and some grub...The Moab Brewery satisfied that - great food and a nice vibe there, not mention it was packed on a Tuesday - perhaps the $2.75 pints and awesome beer!

I feel full energy here in Moab, but I also realize I just rode a solid 8hrs today so I should shut it down and recharge for tomorrow.  I have no idea at this time where I'm heading in the morning - I do want explore more and just soak it all in - I'll figure it out in the morning and see where the road leads.


"...and with dust in throat I crave
only knowledge will I save
to the game you stay a slave

Cherry Pie

The last thoughts I had before passing out were, Damn that cherry pie ala mode was awesome!  The good people at the Burley Inn Perkins make some great food - salad, burger, pie and are quite friendly.  At the gas station to purchase a forty last night the girl was blaring some Hawthorne Heights and all sorts of happy - the waitresses at Perkins loved to chat about how far things were from Burley & even the security dude wanted to talk about my moto; actually he didn't like that I parked it right next to my window b/c he said if it leaks gas it could start a fire. I assured him if it leaks gas and starts a fire I'll take care of it and he was fine with that - haha!...up before sunrise now and thinking if I can put in a solid day of riding for about 8hrs I can be in Moab before sunset.  I really don't have much concept of what day it is (it's still Saturday right?) or what time it is - just looking for daylight and conditions that make for some riding.  60% chance of some rain showers on the way but it's sunny and mid 60's in Moab right now - looking out the window I see blue skies and hear birds chirping away.  Like the shirt says "Ride, eat, sleep, repeat"

"Nobody gonna take my head I got speed inside my brain
Nobody gonna steal my head now that I'm on the road again
Oooh I'm in heaven again - I've got everything
Like a moving ground and open road and everything"

The Rain Turned into Snow

"Adventure begins when things stop going as planned"

So much for out running the thunderstorms in Boise and getting to Moab today - the horizon looked so bright and inviting and I'm pretty sure I had the storm behind me...then the sound of percussion on my helmet and these little white pellets start bouncing around me over 100 miles from Boise...is that rain or snow?  It is getting really cold, but turning the heated grips on high is keeping me warm - pretty cool how if your hands or feet are hot most of your body will still feel somewhat warm.  So next exit that has more than cows and green fields I think will be the place to stop for the day.

Burley, ID - home to Thousand Springs which contains the Snake River canyon called the Grand Canyon of Idaho (I did see this riding in but didn't stop) and is 90 miles from Sun Valley or the Nevada border.  I'm checked into a Best Western that is connected to a Perkins, but I chose the Best Western because if you have a HD profile setup you get a discount.  I really had no plan at all to be here, but that's part of adventure.

I would describe today's ride as pretty challenging with the conditions turning to winter with foggy helmet visor when closed and stinging rain with it partially open.  The borrowed GPS displayed some really funky colors and then decided to not work. Then there's the Uly hiccup issue that happened a few times today.  There seems to be an issue with the fuel injection system that just decides to not provide enough fuel randomly.  Not a comfy feeling when you pass a line of 5 axle trucks and then you lose power and have to get to the shoulder after jamming at 90+mph.  The Uly runs but I can feel that it's off and not firing as the v2 should.  These Idaho folks are friendly - as I was sitting on the shoulder letting the Uly hiccup and re-find it's groove a highway dept dude stopped and asked if I needed help.  He said I was a mile from a rest stop so I could get off the road and he would follow me up there to make sure I make it.  At the rest stop there was this concrete canopy area in the middle for people to stand under and he says 'ride up there and get out of the rain so you can check out your problem.'  You don't have to tell me twice to ride up to a place I'm not supposed to be - I should have taken a pic :)  I also learned the panniers and rack I installed on the Uly are solid as I whacked one pretty hard on some concrete that moved the whole moto over about a foot...pretty tight clearance to get up into that canopy and a good lesson to remember my arse is wider :o

So after a day like today where I'm wet, cold and not where I planned to be; I see a gas station near the Best Western (beer) and will visit the Perkins and hope to have better weather and circumstances tomorrow morning.

...but in the meantime

"I look at the world and I notice it's turning

While my guitar gently weeps

With every mistake we must surely be learning

Still my guitar gently weeps"

Monday Rain Day

Last night's post I didn't mention how much my hands hurt from trying to break in new gloves (should have worn the old pair that were in my pocket) or how stiff my neck was from the 80+mph wind buffeting or even how my left shoulder hurts (but that's from a great day of powder riding last wkend :) - somehow after a night of sleep I feel fine!  You know I really don't know how to ride a motorcycle, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night - hahaha!

One of the best parts of traveling is waking up and grabbing the local paper & if you're going to watch TV tune into the local news and see what makes a village/town/city tick.  A stop into a local coffee shop or diner for breakfast is always interesting and a great way to get some local info.  I was thinking of maybe a workout as the facility here looks good & maybe a dip into the heated pool, but today is the rainy day that I was hoping I would not meet on this trip as I paid my rainy days riding Seattle all winter.  So I'm tuned into all the weather sources and think I maybe able to out run the heavy rain and thunderstorm that are in the forecast for noon time if I leave soon.  Then again I think this is nature's way of washing the Uly of all the snow & bug grime of yesterday :)

So where to today?  I'm thinking Utah and more accurately Moab - I do love mountain biking and really think I owe that area a proper visit this trip...so I think worse case scenario my outer gear will get wet and I will probably want to visit another hotel to dry things.  Good thing in a previous life I was a road warrior with a laptop and thousands of miles & some rewards hotel stays.

A little morning six string and then back on the steel horse for a ride!

"rainy day, dream away
let the sun take a holiday
flowers bathe and i see the children play
lay back and groove on a rainy day"

Heading Out to the Highway

Wow!! Ten hours & about 600 miles later i'm sitting in Nampa, ID with half a large pizza in my stomach and a flask of bourbon wondering how to process the whole day.  Damn that was an amazing ass fun day of riding!! 

First I need to pour a little bourbon out for all those bugs that gave their all to decorate the windscreen and top of my helmet with their colors - looks like a kid broke a bunch of crayolas all over and splattered everywhere. rest in pieces bugs :(

The Uly was awesome to ride with the exception of not having fun after getting through the light snow and cold of Snoqualmie Pass where I was thinking I may need to turnaround as the bike lost power and was kind of doing hiccups - I stopped, checked the oil, did a few restarts and it's been fine.  Can always grab a handful of throttle in any gear and hear and feel the torque and power...did I mention it likes to cruise at 80+ mph and takes corners like it's on a rail?

Leaving Seattle a dude in Renton rolled down his window and asked me where I was going and gave me best wishes for a great trip - so awesome when people feel good and want to spread the goodness to everyone.  I saw numerous people on their way to go skiing and boarding that just stared at me and smiled - if I didn't have a helmet on they would see that I was smiling right back at them - good feelings toward others should be the way it ALWAYS is =]

I think love of the motorcycle and guitar is all based on feel - you have to feel to play guitar and you have to feel to ride a motorcycle.  Feeling the engine roar and the the wind blow as you lean into a turn is only done with feel.  Also feeling a crosswind hit you and try to move you into the next lane requires enough feel to respond and keep everything rolling - then just from feeling the bike and road you can tune into everything else like the dirty air and turbulence off trucks, or the roadkill in the middle of the road and even track the lines birds are flying, totally connected to the bike, road and environment seeing things you can't see or feel in a cage - the feedback of riding is like the feedback of a sweet note on the six string - a great feeling you don't want to end.

Although most of today I slabbed it east (90 to 82 to 84) I did jump off for a bit and stopped for fuel in Huntington, OR and as if it was like a chapter out of a book, stopped at a sign that had 'Gas' written on it that was in front of two old-school pumps that seemed to be in the middle of no where.  A few seconds later a dude with greasy hands comes out of a house next door and asks if I need premium because if I do he doesn't have any, but will next time I roll through.  I really just wanted to stop and get gas at a place like this so we talk about the weather and he tells me the gas station burned down right after they put in the new tanks so he bought some pumps so gas would be available in the area and took it over.  The sign said he accepted credit & debit cards but I asked him if he preferred cash and he said he makes more from cash transactions, which I assumed.  After he lets me pump & pay him $8 (just like in NJ you're not allowed to pump your own gas in OR, but so far I have found if you gas tank is located in weird place they prefer you break the law and pump your own) he tells me if I take this road east it will save me about 16 miles off the highway.  I thank him and wish him well and continue down this two lane narrow road which was part of the original Oregon Trail and the Uly got to meet some off-road dirt.  It was a bit of a handful loaded down but so much fun and I took some pics.  

Talk about scattered thoughts from so much stimuli - I think I should finish the other half of that pizza, it's really good, & play some guitar...oh yeah and figure out what/where/when i'm going to do for tomorrow :D

"You can hang in a left or hang in a right
