So I've been out since April 3 and currently in Albuquerque NM getting some work caught up. The airhead is holding up wonderfully, stopped in Santa Fe to have the carbs adjusted and what a difference. Said I may be in need of a rebuild once I get back east. But other than that they said the bike is good to go. Bike rolled over the 50000 mark about a thousand miles back and I've put 10000 miles on the machine since I've left.
Brother and I hit up Montana 2 weeks ago which was a great ride even though the entire state of Wyoming was steady rain. There's something to be said of South Dakota. Been there before, but on a bike it's a total different experience. On the way back just in Nebraska, at the camp ground, found out a tornado warning was in effect and later that night sounded like canon fire was going off directly above us. Intimidating but what a rush waking up in a tent in the wee hours of the morning.
Currently planning on hitting up San Diego from here, look at the Pacific and head back east on I10. Width of Texas is staring me down. I'll get to hit my namesake at least. Of all the places in Texas I've been, never been to Houston.
Got to see a funnel cloud touch down for a moment in No Man's Land which was freaking cool, 4 to 5 miles off but out there it looks like it's right there.
Trip has been going smooth and safe, I'll get up some pix some time. The digital camera bit it in SD so I'm back to using disposables. How do you use these things?
I've got to see good friends and family while out and some quiet time to myself. The current route is by fire my longest ride solo from the panhandle of OK to the west coast and back which is going to be 5000+ miles back to WV. Hey another first is camping solo as well. It's not as fun drinking a couple of beers by yourself around the fire but no complaints you'll get from me.
I'll look into the carb rebuild when I get back and from there I plan on hitting up the NorthEast and the Mid North to have the continental US completed on a bike.
Till next time. h
