here is a nice snow pic, I got a GREAT video today, I did not get 2 videos because I hit the power button twice and then did not hit it once.Some of the best roads I have ever been on, mountains to desert and almost everything in between, its cold at night but I got to 60 today which was outstanding.

Jim you should have came with, the weather sucked up there. I am busting out of here on saturday to colorado springs and then east in Nebraska.

Again where are the AZ spyder riders? Tucson's finest checked out our bikes today,mostly the plates and then kept going we were inside, they may have been from a complaint of cars we passed in double yellow on gate road in state park, which was limited in its awesomeness by said cars.

I will post up that video when it is done, the GSA1200 rider is some local I met today, good rider.

Great stuff, Seth. That snow pic is amazing! I sure hope you can get some more quality riding in before you have to turn and burn for home. I just checked the forecast for the Colorado Springs area and Friday looks to be the most promising day for you.

Good luck, dude. Stay safe out there. :thumbup:

Seth, I think you need to change your tag line for your posts. You are truly living and living life large than a big % of the population. If this is mere existence, many would love to exist the way you do. I love how you go for the gusto and enjoy where ever you are. I can only empathize with your personal struggles as far as physical limitations go, but so many perfectly healthy people don't enjoy themselves nearly as much as you do. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.

Welcome back Seth! I hope your blood didn't thin down too much in the Southwest. It's -10 here this morning, so I'm sure that it's not any warmer up north.

I had to stop for gas at times, I am sure you could have stayed with if ya wanted to, everyone has to ride their own bike, it was more about the people you ride with and learning not who won, that is secondary.

yeah it was that cold too, I got the spyder out, my buddy ran it down attempting to start it, I got the battery tender on it now. Forgot how cold it was up here from day to day. I just got done making some chili with the chilies I got from Hatch AZ, its going to be crazy.
