Bikes topped off & pointed towards the road . . . See you guys in the morning.
Click & drag the "Little Man" onto 191 & try & find a pic without curves ! There's a spot several miles long without a curve . . .

Great ride up and back The Devil's Highway '666'! Six riders rode Arizona State Route 191 and stayed in Alpine: Wolfhound-FJRobert, Steve-Tech Man, Eileen-JetGirl, Uri Schumm-RTBeemerGuy, "Crazey Davey" Cooleman and Papa Chuy Viejo aka Senor Medina "El Burrito Ballerina".
GregM-SkooterG was going to go, in fact he prompted Chuy to post this ride, but he'd forgotten that he had his Needlepoint-Crocheting class on Wednesday and an appointment at the Kokopelli Beauty Salon on Thursday. Group picture at the Morenci Copper Mine Overlook. Ate at La Casa Manana in Safford and the Alpine Grill.
Steve at speed on his BMW F800GS.
Uri taking a curve on his BMW R1150RT, a twin to my Beemer "Ingrid"!
We ate great on this M/C trip, here is Dave Cooley getting ready to "dig in"!
It got down to freezing at night, the next morning we had to jump start Dave's BMW R1200GS and Eileen's Yamaha FJR. Breakfast at Jerry's in Safford, Arizona.

Looks like another crappy ride and I didn't miss much.
:fuck:
What's up with the two bikes not starting?

You missed one of the best rides ! AWESOME weather & the road was the cleanest I have seen it in years, hardly any crap in the corners on the lower section. A hint of snow along the shoulder between Blue Vista Lookout & Hannagan Meadow.

Robert, he is just a BIG PUSSY! The only BIGGER PUSSY on our fine FJR Forum is johnny80s and that is so close it's almost a dead even tie!
It's just as well he wasn't on the ride, at the speeds we six were running at: SkooterG would've been crying like a little girl, or like Bustanut joker!

Ha! That BS coming from the serial bike orderer. So mi bastard step-pappy, which bike are you going to put a deposit down on next, talk about incessantly, and then back out at the last minute?
Oh, and.............
:fuck:

Still, they should have started.............

Mi Sobrino, your 1st cousin, Enrique "Henry" Garza is going to let his Tio Chuy ride his new BMW K1600GT as soon as he gets it. I want to at least try out the new Beemer six banger before I spend the Super Tenere deposit money like a drunken Irishman!
Speaking of Enrique, why can't you make La Familia proud of you by being more like Henry? Everyone of your family is so very proud of Senor Garza being a City of Mesa Firefighter/EMT! And here you are: An ex-cop! You LEO's worship those Firemen!!!

https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=137339 Sergeant Ashby, We're riding again this coming Sunday for breakfast. Early roll out with kick stands up at 0700 from Goldfield Chevron in Apache Junction.
For Army veterans like us 0700 is child's play, with SkooterG being a Navy squid he'll never even see 0700!

Hey now, I'll have you know your Papa Chuy stays up until 8pm, I actually stay up until 11pm to see Hawaii Five-O (just that one night though!).
