• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

7th annual cross country wild hawgs style ride.

Looking at their progress they should be around here about now. It's HOT and I hope they are riding OK. The locals here usually don't ride much except early morning or late evening this time of year. Short trips are OK but long riding in 110 degree + temperature is dangerous. Please pass along my thoughts and concern. This is a good thread and I look forward to seeing the updates.
If they get to Mesa in the next day or so, let them Know I have an extra bedroom and couch. And I have air conditioning.....
I would be more than glad to provide accommodations.....

Saturday progress

whew it’s a hot one. Left out early this morning & went to White Sands National Monument. A beach in the middle of the desert. Some of the prettiest white sands I have ever seen. It is definitely worth the heat to see it in person. After that we rode to Saguaro National Park. Another great Park then started making our way to Flagstaff for tomorrow’s adventures. We ended up in Anthem Arizona for the evening. 584 miles today & just over 2,400 for the trip since Wednesday. No mechanical problems today. Just many stops to get water & ice. Both for drinking & for ice in helmets Makes the heat tons more bearable to just put a few pieces in your helmet & let it melt while riding.

We we have decided to make a route adjustment & after flagstaff we are going to head to Vegas for a day of relaxing & air conditioning. Then get back to riding on Tuesday So tomorrow will be a flagstaff day then a Vegas night

Driving across Texas on I20 will be underwhelming, and hot.

If they could add a couple days, heading south to ride the Twisted Sisters, and maybe over to Big Bend NP, is VERY worth it! It will still be hot, but at least the riding time will be spectacular!

+++ Oops... just realized that they were already on their way! +++
 
Yes. Hit big Bend a few days ago. Breathtaking.

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing. 123*,how do you do that even for a short time? I"ve ridden 95-100 but never that high that I know of.
 
Soaking a bandana in water & wrapped around our necks. Then a few pieces of ice in helmets makes a world of difference. Sometimes we buy a bag of ice from gas stations & put between us. Keeps her cool from front & me cool from behind. As the ice melts. Make a few pin holes in the bag & the water will drain & the air flow of the spyder will make a nice mist to keep you cool longer.
 
Monday. No travels today or tomorrow. Just rest & relaxation. Took my riding partner to see blue man group & to a great dinner at Camelot Steakhouse.

Wednesday update

we have been out on the roads 8 days now. Left Vegas early this morning & went to Grand Canyon National Park South Rim. Breath taking beautiful After that we hit the roads again & rode over to Four Corners. Got there 15 min after it had closed & gates were locked. Bedding down for the night in Cortez Colorado. Tried to load pics from today’s travels but WiFi was aweful & Cel hot spot not much better. I will load them tomorrow evening. Today was a 500+ mile day. Tomorrow shouldn’t be near that bad. Gonna hit Mesa Verde when it opens
