anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

Went out for a few hours on the GS650E. Checked out the countryside with my wife and stopped at an old car/bike hop along the way. The red one on the right was a '63 Honda 305 "dream". My first bike was a '65 Honda 305. Last pic is a '39 Harley.

Went out yesterday to collect an ebay item for Mrs Cyrano and planned a meet up with some old friends.

This is me waiting for them (I was in the wrong car park)



Found them and their Triumph America.



Roads and motorways were busy and full of roadworks, but even a bad ride is a good ride.

On the bypass I saw a lost and confused looking West Highland Terrier. Traffic was heavy and he was darting in and out causing all sorts of swerves and hold ups as drivers tried to help or at least avoid killing the poor thing. I got sucked in and started doing illegal and highly dangerous stuff but couldn't get near the Mutt. The adrenaline was fairly pumping when a small voice said get out before you cause something much worse. So I left, pulse pumping in the helmet.

Rode a monster that makes the Dragon look like a green iguana today, the Devil's Highway. 90 miles, 425+ turns.

THis?

So, we get 75% of the turns on that road done before the 10th mile at Deals Gap.....What do you do for the other 80 miles? *wink, wink*

Actually, I have wanted to take that road, but not enough to travel all that distance to get there. All the bikes I would want to use there would not be good to use to GET there!

Today I find myself camped in La Veta, Colorado and while my wife attends a quilting workshop, I have time to go look around the area. Here is my trusty guard dog, Bella in the carrier on my KLR at the summit of Cuchara Pass.

You get those 300 turns done in a very short time. Add another 120 or so with multiple thousand foot drops, no guardrails and a total descent of 6000 feet and you get an experience that wrings you out in a way the much shorter Dragon simply cannot. The Dragon is an amazing piece of road, but the 191 is simply wicked.

This is the 191 at its beginnings in Alpine.

My co-workers loved that picture Glenn, she's got a short hair herself. Laughed at the elevation, poor Bella must have been panting...ha,ha..she looks as though she's smiling pretty large.

Glen,

Bella needs some gear!

Glenn,

Bella needs some gear!

I agree! Well, dachshunds are a German dog... a spiked helmet would be kinda cool!

You realise Kim's been repeating "awww cute" over and over since she saw this.... right?

Lol...you think? We have had three days of rain (and that wasn't much) since some time in April. Everyone thinks it rains here all the time, funny. Forecast is for a very dry and hot summer.
