Summer 2021 Adventure

[Houtman_imp]

Have a great and SAFE trip Bill , I admire your adventure !

 

[Offroad]

We took US 50 across KS, CO, UT....worked well for traffic and speed (65-70mph) Just make sure you stay topped off on of fuel......several sections of 100+ miles with no services.

We did 450 miles/day many days....tried to be AIS at 6:30 am....with any stops still didn't get to hotel before 5ish.

100 + miles...break....100+ lunch....100+ break....100+ hotel.

Good luck and safe travels!

No 2:15 pm nap after the lunch break?

Started my 2021 moto trip Saturday at 7pm … made it to Henderson Nevada at midnight… it was 109 degrees in Baker CA (Mojave Desert) at 10pm when I stopped for gas

. Thanks Mark Sedillo for giving me a place to crash plus all the cold “fluids”. Started day 2 at 6:30am and made it to Parachute CO. What a flamin hot day it was! Ride on I-70 did offer all those endless geological wonders to look at! OBW … I have YouTube channel now… “San Diego Moto Bill”. I am posting videos and slideshows to that rather than here.

bflint, I shall check out your channel, sounds like a great start. Did you set your rear preload to max? If not you would do well to try and offset that load. If steering is a little reluctant you could also drop the front preload right off anticlockwise to get the front a little lower. My guess is you have already done this so don't mind me.

Beautiful images bflint on your YouTube. Looks like alotta fun to follow. Be safe.

So far, so good! It's gonna be fun following along on YouTube!

Keep a close eye on your tires in that heat! :biker:

How's it going, bflint? Thinking about you out there!

Congrats on #39 Bill. Get them at every opportunity because going back to get the ones you missed is hard and expensive lol.

I nabbed # 43 last week thanks to Empty Sea lending me his bike to ride in S Dakota. Still need N Dakota and wondering if it will ever happen. Long way from here to there just to pick up one state. The other 4 I need are all on the east coast.

Keep riding safe!

Nice work, bflint.

 

[Stichill]

Nice slide show! You're flying, man. :biker:

 

[Inhouse Bob]

Making good time. Enjoy!

I see I-70 in Colorado is still full of giant potholes. Great twisty drive with incredible views though. It’s great that you are racking the miles up and still able to put together a recap. Very cool!

Btw, what song is that on the day 3-4 video? I really like it.

Great read, thanks!

Since you are passing Wyoming already, I’d move the track a bit north, cut through little Bighorn and goto Cody.
On the way you’ll find gorgeous landscapes and zero red lights. This slows your trip a little down, but so what ... you’re not flying for a purpose.
How many continuous days of rain would make you return home, or seek refuge in an underground parking garage ?

Just finished up days 5,6,7,8 of 2021 moto trip through Iowa, Minnesota, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan. Local folks say this is most rain in this region in last 10 years…. Lucky me

. Minnesota was #39 of 48 states I want to moto thru on this motorcycle. Chilled with friends and relatives In Michigan on days 7,8. Leaving for Buffalo NY (#40) today (Sunday). Me slide show at YouTube’s San Diego Moto Bill channel. Hopefully will have better pics/content from upcoming states.
