Oh Yeah!
Through the trees I can see the San Francisco Peaks with the formidable prow of Humphreys Peak standing proudly in the middle. Humphreys Peak, the tallest mountain in Arizona at 12,600 feet, beckons me to climb, and if I were a little younger, I would welcome the challenge. When I was here a couple of weeks ago the mountain tops were white with snow but now the tundra in the alpine region is only the color of… tundra?
You can almost set your clock to the afternoon thunderstorms. Today’s storm was not as violent as usual but it brought a little hail with it. This is probably not the best time to be climbing in the mountains because you would reach the top about the same time as the afternoon storms.
It has been nice to have pleasant temperatures to ride my bike. I rode into Flagstaff yesterday for a visit to Walmart and today I rode a few miles north to check out more forest roads. This motorcycle will do just about anything I ask of it. It eats up the rough and rutted back roads like a champ and accelerates up mountain roads with no problem. I still go pretty slow on unfamiliar dirt roads and haven’t got “big air” on any jumps so far. I may be a little to old for that foolishness.
Sounds like you bought the right motorcycle.
You just need to add some saddlebags for carrying your groceries and laundry to and fro, and you won’t ever need any other vehicle.
Yes I think not making any jumps is a very good idea. Glad you got something that has some power. Yay Honda!
Did you get your trailer mount moved over to this bike?
So, did you enjoy the 5 miles of mountain curves? Richard lives for those kinds of roads. BTW he rode his scooter last night for the first time in months, much to my dismay! 🙂
