...continued More of Canyonlands If you go to Canyonlands, you need to stop at Deadhorse Point on the way out. Another really awesome view. We went over the La Sal mountains and up 141 to Grand Junction. This is a great road between the canyon bluffs. It's so fun on a motorcycle. We...

...Continued Leaving monument valley On the way to Moab we stopped at Goosenecks State Park just SW of Moki Dugway which is an interesting view. I didn't have my wife with me so I thought Moki Dugway would be easy going, but I found myself nervous on it. I was not as recovered mentally from...

I planned this trip exactly a year after our wreck in May of 2022 where I totalled the Goldwing. My wife's right arm is over 90% recovered and her left wrist is in good shape again. She still can't move her ring and pinky fingers and they don't think she'll get those back. She's still not been...

Sorry to hear about your accident. Glad you are just sore. My brother and niece both live just north of there. It's a pretty area, but we hit lots of traffic when we rode there a couple years ago. My niece's husband had a bicycle accident right in that same area and still is recovering from...

We made it home. It's kind of entertaining as we manage to do things with my one working arm and her with none. But we are very blessed with helpful friends and family. She's only cried twice since the accident and the second was this morning when I took her outside to see the flowers blooming...

This-^ Got the quotes messed up there but That’s SteveO311’s quote that I’m trying to agree with strongly. Left hand :)

Ha! I thought it was a sketch of our accident the farmers drew and sent in!

Those were all left handed thoughts :) On the gauntlet gloves, of course we don’t really know. I just think it would. They make you wear them at the track for a reason, though. I picked her thinnest gloves for that day because she was going to take road pictures. Grr. If not protecting the...

Tammy and I had a low-side Thursday on the second day of our Ohio trip on the Goldwing. We didn't even make it out of Kentucky. We both have broken wrists that need surgery. Tam got it a lot worse than I did, which I can't figure out. I have no other injuries except the wrist. She had a level 5...

So on the first day of our trip this week we saw a vulture in the middle of the road. I joke to Tam that it’s probably got a snake and sure enough it had a snake. It didn’t throw it at us, thankfully

This is nuts, man. I hit a vulture several years ago that flew up from the side just like that but didn't break anything. But having it throw a snake? I don't like snakes. I ran over a snake once with my wife on the back and all I could think about was if I threw it up onto me. If she saw it she...

I did my one track day with the FJR at Barber, but I might consider going back on the FJR. I felt like it had enough to hang with the others. I did feel a little out of place but it was weight not performance. It was faster than the sub liters on the straight's but then I lost out in the...

Little River Canyon Rim Parkway on 176. Get on 176 from Hwy 35 three miles east of Adamsburg, Alabama and that road follows the Little River Canyon about 12 miles SW with some great scenery at the pull-offs. If you look it up on Google Maps, I think this shot is either Hawks Glide Overlook or...

Sorry for your loss. :)

Birmingham to NC (and VA) October 11-16 2020 I had just about decided not to do a trip report on this since it was another trip on the Goldwing, but after enjoying some of the other ride reports I thought I’d go ahead and share.  People on this forum helped me find these roads initially and...

I just now saw this ride report.  What great pictures, especially of Chief Joseph and Beartooth! I've done those a couple times and I love my pics, but I can't ever get the foreground and background together due to lighting.  Nice job!

Great report and pics! Thanks for sharing.

The near miss was 100 miles N of Deer, but 16 thru Deer is a good road.  We went 10 miles west of it going south and then 16 miles east of it coming back this trip.  I've hit a vulture but thankfully not a deer.

Tammy and I had a week off due to COVID closures at work June 13-20, so we worked out a visit with family and 4 days of riding in Arkansas.  We’ve been through the Ozarks a couple times but have never been down to the Talimena scenic drive, so that was a key stop in our plans. I’ve torn a tendon...

Day 9 was just 8 miles back to the rental so there's nothing much to add, but I'll add some pics from before the motorcycle part from SF and the Santa Maria area if you're interested... Week -1 - July 12-18 Alcatraz The audio tour is worth doing if you get the chance Right across...
