You may have noticed very few people at this south rim spot we went to at the start of the peak visitor season. There were a lot of people at the canyon that day. (took us nearly a half hour to get in the entrance station, 5 lines open).
Send me a message if u want to know how to get to this...
Hey Friends! The Duchess & I rode to the South Rim, Grand Canyon last week. Mild June weather, we got this trip in before the Arizona heat has kicked in for the summer.
BTW avoid Interstate 40 between Kingman to Seligman. Major pothole problems. One sent us flying in the air at 80 mph and...
That how lucky you are. Yesterday we went for a ride & hike at Blake Ranch Road about 15 miles east on I-40. After our hike we met this cool guy who had a nice Indian bike with custom sidecar, which had a wheelchair attached to it. Waited for him to get in his chair & had a chit-chat with him...
Yhea, when I saw he was on Kyle's list of celebs riding with him, I thought the old man (84) will be in a chase car not riding a bike.
He looked to be in good shape for his age. I did warn Kyle about the VERY Technical section that they will be riding down from there ( called blood alley) he...
This video is Part 2, the 4th day. Duchess & I rode to Oatman Az. 2 events were there, Fun run classic cars coming up from Kingman & Kyle Petty's Charity Bike Ride coming from Lake Havasu. I was very suprized that Kyle's pop "The King" Richard Petty came rolling in on a HD trike.
I bought a hat...

Well Friends, we r on the road back after another sucky winter. Caught the Omicron Covid in Jan. Not near as severe as the original Covid I had 13 months before (that one scared me it was gonna kill me). Still it messed me up for nearly 2 months.
So, Friday my Buds Ken & Duchess rode over to...
Saturday we rode to Willow Beach, about 8 miles down river from Hoover dam. Duchess had a great time play'n in the water on this spectacular mid 70's degree day!
Saturday was very nice weather, so we headed down to Lake Mohave. After lunch we had a great hike on the Fisherman's Trail, which led us to an awesome spot on the Lake. Duchess had a gas play'n in the water (cold but she didn't care!). And the Video....
This morning I rode my Sporty downtown to check out the Mustang Motorcycles (small bikes mfg between 1945-1965) having a national gathering & show. And the video....
Saturday we were gonna ride with friends on their annual anniversary ride & go to the copper mining town of Bagdad. But morning thunder storms cancelled the ride. So Sunday morning me & the Duchess rode up to the ranger station & hiked down the steep hill to have a bite to eat at the Mtn Resort...
Amazing is right! One Pro, Miquel Gelabert had a jaw-dropping phenomenal 2 days. 6 rounds of 12 stations & his score was 1! Doesn't even seem possible that he rode through 72 stations with only one mistake! In context 2nd was 11 time U.S. Champ Patrick Smage with a respectable 10 points. And 3rd...
