It was nice in Las Vegas today (back to hot next week) and even nicer in the mountains.
Wore better ear plugs and it was peaceful...but so peaceful that every time I looked at the speedo, it was much higher than expected...and that was going up a better than 6% grade above 6,000 feet elevation.
No wild horses to be seen at Lee Canyon meadows, but a nice ride of 91 miles.

Just in time to take a stupid tumbleweed right across the handle bars and chest. I had to pull over and clean tumbleweed out of my instrument panel and riding jacket. So yea, that was different.
Thanks
I just laughed out loud while sipping my coffee at work. No ones here yet though. :-)

like every year we made our "grossglockner" Tour - 8 hours for around 350 miles up to 10.000 feet in the mountains - wonderfull weather but still a cold wind over the snow !
This roads are more for Ryker-Adventures, a of of tight curves, faster to ryde with the CVT gearbox and downhill incredible brakes .. better than any Spyder !!
thats Rykering !!

Wow, that must have been a surprise. Gotta admit it's not every day a person is attacked by a tumble weed. Must have been a rogue one?
