Road trip!

[Miami78]

Riding from Vegas to Denver tomorrow (the 29th), crashing at a friends house, heading up through the rockies Monday, then on the road back to Vegas Tuesday. Wish I had more time to explore in the mountains but it should be fun! Pics will follow when I get back.

Made it to Denver...this has been a good learning experience so far. Biggest lesson? Bring rain gear and extra layers. Riding at 10k through the mountains soaking wet and getting pelted with hail sucks, even in July.

holy crap dude - you rode for what, 15 hours !??!

 

[Miami78]

A little over 11 hours with all the stops, 760 miles total. Breaking it up into 2 days for the return trip...butt isn't too bad, but my back is a little sore.

jezuz christ HAHA !!!

and here i thought riding 160 miles was an accomplishment.

good job dude. put some ice on your butthole [up]

 

[nrankin]

nice man... how were the roads in the mountains?? Get any good pics?

 

[Miami78]

Hoping to get some pics when I head back, too much rain to get much of anything yesterday. The roads would have been better if it hadn't been raining and hailing...

 

[Miami78]

Made it home. Just about 1800 miles over three days. Pics to follow soon, although not that many, spent most of the ride getting rained on, all three days. It was an adventure, and it was fun, but damn am I happy to be home again.

Hiding under an overpass while the storm passes...

Arches national park near Moab, Utah.

Just off the interstate somewhere along the way, before the weather took a turn for the worse...

Where did you get the Airbox Cover...
Nice Bike...

 

[Miami78]

The airbox cover came from shoyomoto, not sure if they are still making them or not. On that, I know some folks have had concerns about water getting into the system with a ram-air airbox like that...on my trip I spent quite a lot of time riding 80-90mph in heavy downpours and had zero issues.
