Evening, guys. Eventful day. And Hotter than the Hubs of Hell.
Thankfully, Mick had a few zip ties handy and we were able to get him up and running in relatively short order. But this was after riding about 5 miles of some pretty severe twisties stuck in fourth gear before he got my attention. I offered to cut the ties at a nice 45° angle for our enjoyment later but he declined politely.


And the sleepy little ghost town of McKittrick.

Doesn't seem to be, Chuck. As you well know we rarely exceed 40 MPH.

That makes sense. When you said a tight chest, I read it as an allergic reaction and tightening of your throat .

Had great time on this trip. Haven’t ridden this much in years for one reason or another. Had quickly sharpen up my cornering skills.
Lou, it was great to meet you and the family.
Off to feed my face and then 5.5 hours home tomorrow.
Nice to meet you Rob.
Safe travels tomorrow.

Woods, none of us are guaranteed tomorrow, that’s why a pray everyone “ know the Lord “. So we can all ride together in eternity 🙏, Doing burn outs on streets of gold 😳. ……..unless of course that’s an unforgivable offense
