AWESOME!!!!!!
Pics and route to follow. Less miles than last time, but more scenic route. Just.....fantastic. Thanks to Steve for being my trusty ride partner....again. Thanks also to Lanette for letting him go and forviging me for letting her cat out the other night!......
WooHoo! Soon as my calluses heal up I'll be ready for another one in a couple weeks!

We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Looking forward to the pics.
Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet.
Hope this works.....:

If not, I'll have to get one of you PC Experts/Geeks to help this ignorant Dago. I'm cell phone-less and stuck in the 19th century.....
These pics are scaled down to 24%, so the real ones are much better, but you get the picture (arr arr....).
The basic route:
Steve and I did another trip. We had an awesome time. Did 4 states, and 1,223mi in 2-1/2 days. Sat drove from here to Moab, UT, via 128 (422mi)…..AWESOME!!!! Got some great pics. Then Sun we went down into AZ into Mexican Hat, which was absolutely jaw-dropping, then around into UT again, then down into NM by Ship Rock, then 550N. into Durango for the night (340-ishmi). Then Mon we went up 550N. into Montrose, then did 50 across to Poncha Spgs., then up 24N. into Keadville, then 91N. to 70E, then home (461mi.). Got to see as varied terrain as possible. Incredible redrock canyons, desert buttes and mesas, rolling foothills, mountain passes with changing Aspen and full fall colors…..WOW!
Edit: Ok, seems to work, but the quality kinda sucks. Ah well, what do ya expect for free?

This is what I'm talk'in about.
Looks like you boys had a great time.
That part of the country gets my presence
at least once a year. One of my top 10 rides
in the country for sure.

Yeah, that's an awesome area for sure. We would have enjoyed a couple more bikes, so I'll post up again next time, maybe in a few weeks, and maybe some of ya can go.

very nice pic here frank!!!
mayo....
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain."
.........a crotch rocket going 85 to 90 down the highway looking like a power ranger on a mission...
Sure looks like a fun route, a great part of the country for a ride!
