Did at least one of you get the "snowbird special"?? It almost looks like you're wearing a neck warmer there Trevor...can't be though, it's got to be warm enough down there.

No we didn't get the snowbird special, I saw it but went with the pork instead. Awesome food and very pretty waitresses too.
I just wore the scarf for flair.:p
 
Our GPS log for the day contains the usual top speed error.;) I think it's those Russians up in the International Space Station messing up the satellites!

That Hwy 95 from Blanding to Hanksville is the most fun road I've been on yet! We rode about 110 miles without encountering another vehicle on our side of the road. I don't know what was more spectacular, the technicality of the road or the scenery! A lot for a poor deprived Island boy to take in! Add to that the comfort in knowing there won't be any red and blue lights to contend with and it was motorcycle nirvana!:cool: I'll be back!
 
A little food for thought as you tear across the desert.....Have the two of you thought of how unbelievably cool in every sense of the term it would have been doing that trip on the gs1100 and 1000s? Picture it.....Two old school bikes flashing across the vast desert toward a distant horizon..........Just bustin a bit. :D Clearly you've chosen very good tools for the job, and I'm glad the trip is going well. Thanks for the incredible pictures.
Stay safe and enjoy.....some more:)
 
I know you're just ribbing them but Glenn and Trevor both have two fine vintage bikes that get regular use and used at rallies of some distance. Dead heading long distances to get to the area you want to be in, a little comfort goes a long way.....:D

Understood:). heck, the miles they divide up between cycles per year far exceeds what I do on my lone cycle in a year....The choice of ride definitely flavors the trip differently. I definitely couldnt do that trip on my 1150 in that timeframe.

I think Trevor was trying to avoid more of this....

Although fun was had by all, it does cut into the riding time :D
 
Yes, it is a Garmin Nuvi 2595. I can't really recommend it for motorcycle use, it shuts down on occasion. It is a pita resetting it while riding. The Zumo range of Garmins are built for motorcycles and are more shock resistant, plus they're weatherproof.

I think the word for today's ride would be 'wind'! Real strong winds today made riding quite a chore at times. Thankfully we were in a lot of Nevada desert, that raised the pace of the ride considerably. (That fact is reflected in the max speed of today's GPS log.) We've had enough of the thin air of high elevations, so we're shooting for the California coast tomorrow. Hmm, time for some seafood maybe!:cool:

Some more pics from the guys......
Walker Lake Nevada









Not so fancy tonight in Fallon Nevada. Heading to ft Bragg on the California coast tomorrow
 
Your moving along pretty good. Nice to follow along with your ride.
 
Hey guys. I don't know what your schedule is. But if you don't want to get wet don't come back til Sunday or later....
 
We made it to the coast, ft Bragg Tuesday around 330 Tuesday. Pic from our motel.

We park where ever the fvck we want!:)
 
Got some good bends north of you, been 22 years since I've been able to enjoy that stretch of tarmac.

What tires did you settle on? Are you happy with them?
