Storm's Summer Motorcycle Adventure

[GS1150Pilot]

While you are in Bisbee, make sure to get out to Tombstone for a jaunt.

[Charlie G]

Any idea when you're going through Northern Arizona or Southern Utah?

[GS1150Pilot]

Depending on when you get to Bisbee, I might be able to meet you to see Tombstone.

I planned on spending the whole day in Lafayette, but after chatting with my former boss, getting a plate lunch (BBQ pork steak, rice, something else I don't know what it was, oh and a Boudan link) I jumped on interstate 10 and motored west. Since I got a late start I wasn't going to make it to Austin. Houston, how about the Houston Space Center!! I had a wonderful time looking at all the space stuff. Particularly I liked looking at the engineering and machine work. When I'm at work I always say "it's good enough, it's not for NASA!" Well this stuff was! The motorcycle is running great. However I wish I had a spare clutch cable. The shop in Lafayette was not interested in matching one up. They immediately said nope don't got one... Tomorrow I'm off to Austin Texas for lunch and maybe a haircut then I'll stop somewhere in the middle of Texas. I'm feeling pretty good, no Advil or nothing like that. Tomorrow's ride will be easy I'll have air conditioning! ☺

Nothing to exciting today. I did make it to Austin. I stopped at a Motorcycle Super Store to see if they had a clutch cable... nope. I did have a nice lunch. I was chatting with a young lady, she told me about the fish she caught. She showed me the picture of her holding the bass, her in a bikini. Very nice I said and the fish looked good too! After lunch, I went about 200 miles up the road. I'm going to try to leave earlier tomorrow. It's going to be HOT! About 400 miles to Las Cruces!

Norm,

Hey, Buddy, was good to see you and ride with you at BC.
(Speaking of which, I had a spare brand new clutch cable in trunk.)

Do keep us updated.

Three week trip, wow.

Austin.

Do look up
-FM335
-FM336
-FM337 (Farm to Market) (or maybe some might be listed as RR, Ranch Road. If is Ranch Road it can have those trenches and metal bars acrost it.)
-Frio Canyon Motorcycle Stop and Bent Rim Cafe (same place) just outside Leakey TX. Can get a little bell for that Super King Road Glide Ultra Custom.

[GS1150Pilot]

So much to do and see in Austin-especially if an attractive woman might show you around.

[GSXR7ED]

Hey Norm, you'll be in MrBill's neck of the woods in Las Cruces. Some great riding out there!

I made it to Las Cruces. I got up early 5:00am to beat the heat. I rode 435 miles this morning. Since I'll be here all day I treated myself to a nice hotel room (unlike last night's, I could feel the bugs jump on me when I opened the door lol) I had to pay $3.00 per gallon for gas, I was afraid I'd run out. Turns out there was a truck stop only 15 more miles up the road... The motorcycle is running great. There's not another motorcycle I'd want to be with. Tomorrow will be a easy ride to Bisbee 235 miles. ��

Okay I have to edit this. I'd like to be with 850 too!

[Burque73]

Glad you made it to Cruces, Norm. If you feel like heading North from there, you can have my extra clutch cable. Oh, It's a bit cooler up here too

[Steve]

How's the air conditioner working?

.

[Chuck78]

Wow Norm you're making good time! Definitely best just to book it out with and not spend a whole lot of time in the middle or the dirty (i.e. miserably humid and hot, & flat) south! out west is the best... scenery and riding especially!
NC/TN/KY/WV are amazing but if you have 3 weeks for an adventure, going out to the Rockies/etc and/or Cali/Pacific NW is the ultimate...

[Redman]

Hey Norm,

How about I send this clutch cable to one of your cousins address....?
If got it out, it could be there maybe 3 days after that.
Is for my GK, so, I am only quessing would be same as your 1000, but I don’t really know, probably work.
