Through Social Media I have connected with a lot of riders that are into traveling on their motorcycles. Some are long distance types, you know the 800-900 miles a day types ( I’ve been there, done that, bought the T-Shirt ) others are the more like the couple of tanks of gas, a couple pee…
Yep, this summer I did it…I’m a little over 1,000,000 miles, yes, one million miles, lifetime riding, and that doesn’t include racing mileage. If you doubt it just talk to my backside and my back… I was asked how I knew I had passed the Million Miles. What I have done over the years is…
Yep, I did it…1,000,000 miles, yes really, one million lifetime miles and that doesn’t include racing miles. It only took me 50 years but hey…I made it. It all (long distance traveling) started in 1971, my friends Beny (on a somewhat chopperized Honda 350), Mike on a stock Yamaha 650 and me on a Honda…
After 5000 plus miles, crazy ass weather, interesting people, good hotels and some maybe not so good, it was time to part ways. Les, a short ( a 150 miles or so..) me…600+ miles to home with Heather and Boscoe. Our motorcycles had a tender moment saying goodbye. Then it was on the road. Back…
Wake up in Kanab Utah and time to go. But first, a hearty breakfast. Let’s start with STRONG coffee…well, according to Les. Next stop North Rim of the Grand Canyon. “Ugghhh, Les…are you sure we’re going the right way???” Turns out, yes we were and what a fun ride.It was a great day at the…
The ride to Kanab was great, especially here…what a place. Beautiful. Even with a Porta Potty in the background?The ride from here was pretty easy but again…great scenery all the way. Never a dull moment…until we got to Kanab. It looked liked we were yet again running into rain however the motorcycle Gods shined…
Les and I left Green River bright and early…really early, and headed off to Escalante Utah.Riding through this area was just plain wonderful…we didn’t get rained on! I know this is getting boring to read but those of us who ride long distances each day, triple digit speeds are normal…as are multiple gas stops. Next…
Leaving Pinedale Wyoming it was on to Green River Utah. However, we had to make a stop in Green River Wyoming. Les was noticing oil coming out that shouldn’t be so we made a stop Flaming Gorge Harley Davidson. They were great!!! Les used his handy dandy factory HD GPS that took us right there. I…
Ok; here was the BIG thing for Les on this trip…Yellowstone National Park. And why shouldn’t it be?!? It truly is a wonder of the world. The only and biggest downside to a National Park like Yellowstone during the summer is………Tourists!! but wait…I’m a tourist too. There are too many of us? Nah, we love…
In this 5000+ mile ride one of the big things for Les was to go to Glacier National Park. I agree. Riding the ‘Going To The Sun Road’ is always wonderful, even if you have to follow two or three motorhomes. The downside is not too many Glaciers…Global Warming???? It is a beautiful ride and…
