I've talked to folks that own a T-bird and they love it. I could never warm to the curve of the pipes and the way they treated the over head cam caps. Naturally; my long legs had a hard time finding a good home on it. But I was still sorely tempted a couple years ago. Maybe some day you'll bring it to AZ and we can swap bikes for a bit.

It's been amazing in southern Arizona this week! Here's just a tiny sampling of what we've seen in the beautiful Sonoran Desert.

See how a third world war was averted so that we could ride today.

Before moving to OR in 1999, we lived in Scottsdale and Chandler, AZ for 9 years. Had it in mind to return, thought it would have happened by now. Maybe retirement? I miss the Sonoran desert.

Great suggestion and definitely of interest! We had that on the list of alternate stops if we wore ourselves out hiking in the desert. Unfortunately ran out of time...we're leaving today!

The desert has a way of pulling you back to it.

Thanks, ferret! So many cool scenes to capture. Often I had to just put the camera down and enjoy the moment without technology.
