Seis Viejos Pedos en Motos Grande (Six Old Farts on Big Bikes)

[wheatonFJR]

I think you have it backwards oh Scooter-Guy. I think the motor higher beings are doing anything they can to protect that Tenere from the Teutonic BS, even if self immolation is involved.

With five studly Bavarians all taking turns mounting that poor Tenere she will be damn tired before the trip is over, Super or not. JSNS

I don't understand why others feel the need to try to build themselves up by trying to tear others down.

BMWs and S10s are both great bikes.

The Bavarians are feeling insecure and threatened…

Ironic. He bought an aluminum trailer to save weight, does a flop job, then *Adds* weight! I have luck like that too.

BTW, while trailer was on its side, should have painted the floor raw, exposed wood!



Have a good ride doodes

On our way from Kip's at Alamosa to SkooterG's in Phoenix. I had a complete update with lots of pictures all ready to post and then mistakenly deleted it off my phone with an errant thumb press.

It was a beautiful day heading South to Alamosa from Spearfish.
Traffic wasn't too bad through Denver










We got Kip loaded up




Before taking Kip and Patty to dinner

Saturday - Alamosa to SkooterGs in Phoenix. We left Alamosa at 0530 and it was a beautiful day until we hit Arizona when the wind began to blow again.
we had strong headwinds from to Tuba City, then strong cross winds to Phoenix, we got to Skooters about 3:30pm. Skooter was ready for us and we were all unloaded and drinking cerveza in short order. Kip rode to Marks in Tucson, Kevin, Skooter & his friend and I went to dinner. We returned and performed some last minute maintenance and repacking.

Sunday - Kevin, Skooter, and I hit the road promptly at 0830.
We rode East to Globe then South East, lunched in Safford AZ before continuing on to Douglas AZ. A kind inmate from the ADVRider Forum, NoShoes, assisted us in completing our across the border administrative functions. Thanks Neil! We successfully rendezvoued with FrankieD, Kip, and Mark at the Motel (Motel Six Douglas) which has very shitty WiFi hence the lack of pictures.
Dinner at a local Mexican place and back to the room. KSU 0730 tomorrow.

Let the Adventures begin!

I have some photos which I will add once Wifi improves.

Blame it on the wifi, sure. I see that as soon as you connected with Scooter you felt that it was in the best interests of the forum to stop taking photos. It's ok, we all are happy to not open the forum and see that face this morning before we've had our coffee.

Dear Jason - Skooter sends his love.

Hey John, of the four out bikes that tipped over, was a Yamaha involved?

Just asking for a friend from North Dakota.

Does tipping over while in a trailer count?

I think the trailer assumed it was hauling the BMW's in their most well known positions.

PS (Thursday PM) - we took a day off of the bikes today. Siestas, and Cerveza! Pix tomorrow I hope with better internet.

[bigjohnsd]

We are now in Creel. No Relive Video today. Watch Wednesday's in reverse, LOL.

Copper Canyon Pictures tonight I hope. Hotel seems to have good WiFi in the lobby but none in our room. SkooterG sends his !

[Niehart]

John, that looks like a perfect sized group. Even if one is Gregg. The Relive Videos are just so cool. Have a safe trip.

[bigjohnsd]

Day Seven - we are back in Estados Unidos at SkooterG's.

Montezuma has struck at least Kevin snd me.

I went to the ER last night with uncontrolled chills and shakes. I seem to be OK but will stay at Skooter's for a few days before heading North and West to ride up the coast.

I will complete the other videos and post as able. At least two more in the system I need to finish Days 5 and 6.

[wheatonFJR]

Thanks for sharing John...when in your commentary you say you are ready to go again...I'm SURE you mean it!

Get better soon...and leave a bit of yourself at SkooterG's hacienda!
