Glad to see so many burros still in town.
Nice ride (288 miles), but way too many bikes in town (River Run)...difficult for friend and I to find a place to park.
We walked both sides of the road, but purchased no trinkets.
Friend (Vrod) wanted to go to Laughlin and had not seen Oatman.
We skipped Laughlin.
Monday, weather permitting: Jacob Lake (430 miles)
6,818 miles on the CB since Nov 7
This trip averaged 50.7 MPG per trip computer
288/5.6 (trip computer) = 51.6 MPG
Around Lake Mead, average was 59.9 MPG, running 55-60 MPH.
Other than Oatman Road and Bullhead, most cruising was about 75 MPH.

That's about 1240 miles per month or nearly 15k for a year...I'm lucky if I find the time for 4-5k per year.
On the other hand, 15k miles is about 300 hours on the bike averaing 50mph...which is really less than 1hr per day...what do you do the other 23 hours each day?

Gonna slack off some more;
Snow forecast for Cedar City Utah, so Duck Creek on Utah highway 14, near highway 89, will be another trip.
Rain / snow for Jacob Lake on Tuesday, so we'll go to Jacob Lake on Monday, with only a 20% chance of showers in St. George Monday AM.
Trip reduced to ~430 miles.
