So I was supposed to fly down today and go there over the weekend with my brother, BUT NO, I couldn't get coverage at work! [:@]

Watching it on YouTube is just a lil' self-salting for the wound... [sm=headbang.gif]


Check this out, these boys can ride!

Hope this is not a re-post...

1.That trucker needs to find a different friggin highway.

2. Whoever theat first postor was on You Tube needs to be out of uniform, and
in possession of my address.

3. The hghways and roads of this country were paid for by mine and your tax dollars.
That means we own the roads.

Cops should be there to make sure some idiot is not out endangering others on EVERYONE's roads, not trying to make like he's some school teacher handing out gold stars for extra recess time as a "priviledge".

I pay your salary pal.

Whatever came about with all this anyway?

 

So I'm working today and of course I got the message from my brother... "Deals Gap is great, wish you were here, blah, blah, blah." Ugh.

That sucks dude... but it will only make it sweeter when you get down there.

 

2 months later...

Booked the flight. Heading to the Gap this weekend for the first time.......[sm=happy046.gif][sm=wootwoot.gif]


(Will be riding my brother's other bike, a Suzuki Intruder --- not exactly a canyon carver, haha! Who cares?! Can't wait!)

 

I'm jealous! Have a good trip. Hope to see some pics.

 

I just went in July. OMGI want to go every weekend now. A awesome experience!!!!!

 

Going on the 22nd... wish us luck with the local LEO.

 

So I didn't exactly slay the Dragon, I would say I survived it.

Going from the CBR to a big Suzuki cruiser was a challenge and I never really got used to the alarming sound of the footboards scraping the concrete! Plus there were quite a few distractions, e.g., checking out other bikes, cops, photographers, shadows, and of course plenty of scenery.

Anyway I'm happy to report that Deals Gap is a great place that lives up to the hype and the Cherohala Skyway was freakin' sweet too. For as long as I ride, I probably won't find better roads with less traffic than I did down in that area. I can't wait to go back someday.
