Demo weekend…
Ride Now had a cool weekend demo ride event this past weekend. I got to ride a BMW GT1600 and a Can-am Spider. The BMW was actually pretty cool. I’d really like to rent it for the weekend and do a Jerome/Sedona/Flagstaff trip on it. It had heated grips and seats, XM/Sirius radio, and a whole slew of other cool shit. I got to meet a cool chick named Moira, who was the BMW lead demo sales person (and twowheelfix.com forum member. The Can-am 3-wheeler was fun to ride, but I’d never buy one, I need my motorcycle to “lean” with me.
Made it up to the 7 Springs area again…
This time I camped out, just off the trail of NF-41. Nothing super exciting, but it was nice to get out of the city and away from everything. The 7 Springs Campground was PACKED, so I kept on riding past it and went up to NF-41 and went West. There weren’t too many good spots to camp and there were tons of people out there just blasting their guns for fun or hunting white tail deer. Anyhow, I found a spot and enjoyed the peace and quiet once the sun set.
Took the KTM to 7 Springs…
I made a last minute trip to the 7 Spring camping area this past Friday. I didn’t get any decent pics, my camera battery was dead, so are a couple lame camera phone pictures…
Mission accomplished…
So my xB got me out to San Diego and back in one piece. The training was cool and I passed my test. With all that said and done, it is good to be home. The trip was uneventful and I didn’t even have time to hit the beach, but oh well. Here are some pics of my trip.
I’m in San Diego all this week…
I’m here on business, so I’m not really having fun. The only real nice thing about the trip is that it is roughly 40 degrees cooler here than it is in Phx. It was 111F when I left AZ and it was 69F when I got into San Diego around 9PM. That said, I still can’t wait to go home…
Haven’t really had time to snap any cool pics, but here is my xB with an RF-101 Voodoo at the Gila Bend airport…
This was the view from my office on Friday…
I love my job and I love Arizona 
I love my Safari tanks…
So I set another MPG record last week. 42 MPG and I went 449 miles on one tank of gas. Pretty cool!
I hope she burns in hell…
KTM is home…
But it is too damn hot to ride! I’ll be taking the car on all my trips during the day for sure…
It is hot! Damn hot!
KTM is in the shop… Again…
This time for only a day I hope. The heated grip on the throttle body was sliding around. I guess the glue on it didn’t take, so they are going to re-glue it. The right side gas cap also has an issue. It isn’t making a tight seal, so the gas leaks out when I’m bouncing around. After each ride, even 24 hours later, if you walked into the garage, the gas fumes would almost bowl you over.
Anyhow, GoAZ hooked me up with a nice BMW F800 GS to ride in the meantime. So I’m good to go for now. Even Capt. Kirk approves…
