Devil's Highway with SkooterG and Test Rider

[Badcat]

I met up with Jack (Test Rider) at the approved meeting spot at the agreed upon time of 7am. Two of the three of us had the courtesy to be on time. Skooter drug his ass in at 7:30. After some small talk we headed out for eastern Arizona and Route 191.

First was a breakfast stop in Safford. Now, if you saw these two inside would you go in??

Did I mention the weather was excellent. In the mid 60' and sunny. Unlike, say snowy, cold Gunnison, CO.

We proceeded on to Morenci and the start of 90+ miles of some great twists and turns.

Unlike the crappy, snowy conditons of Gunnison, CO the conditions were ideal for some

great riding.

I have to say this was one of the best days I have had in my short riding career. Thanks to Greg

and Jack.

One last shot of BadCat's FJR.

Sorry for the jabs Dave...Couldn't resist.

Burk,

Nice! Wish I was there! Great road 191 (seems more apt named 666) Thanks for the great write up and pics.

Looked like a great time. Thanks for sharing.

 

[beemerdons]

Very nice, Badcat! I know you had a great time riding with Jack, sorry about other mook you had to endure. Great pictures!!

 

[Big-D]

Nice pics and report Burk. I have not had the chance to ride 191 as of yet. I'm probably the only Arizona resident that rides a motorcycle not to have ridden 191. I'll have to remedy that situation.

Nice report...I've only got one question.

You say there was "small talk". There is no such thing as small talk with the Skootermeister, how'd you get 'im to quit so you could start riding?

I will store this knowledge in my tankbag for future reference...

Cool Burk, ya Bast*#d. We have a frog choker going on here in the Pacfic Northwet.

Sorry for the jabs Dave...Couldn't resist.

Don't worry about it, cat boy. I'll make sure to repay the favor next July when Gunnison is 75 and Phoenix is 475. B)

And thanks again to both you and skoot for nearly getting me fired... :lol:

https://weather.aol.com/forecast/todays/us/...andler/id/85225 As my hero, FJRay would say: Niehart, sympathy is right between shit and syphilis in Webster's dictionary! Don't forget our motto, Dave: When the going gets tough, the tough start drinking!

 

[Niehart]

Don, your just as bad as my Alaskan daughter. When I whine about the rain she says 'If ya don't have to shovel it, don't bitch about it'!

Thinkin' I need a gin & tonic....

...And thanks again to both you and skoot for nearly getting me fired... :lol:

I'm thinkin' that that story needs to be shared with the class.... :clapping:

 

[SkooterG]

Finally getting around to posting some piccies!

First of all, I WASN'T LATE!!! You two were early.

It was a great day Badcat! Great ride. Great time. Only bad thing about the day is that we didn't get pinhead fired!

A beautiful day in Arizona, even at 9,000' altitude! (Sorry pinhead)

2004, 2005, 2006 FJRs all lined up nice and pretty like.

My first time using the 'mulit-shot' mode:

Getting cool in the north country.

Awesome ride! Especially since El Pendejo Grande beemerdons wasn't there snivelling all day long! :fuck:

 

[beemerdons]

Very nice pictures, Skooty! Even if I had gone with you three, and you know I would have been there if I did not have a long scheduled meeting, I would not have had a chance to snivel until we reached Alpine. Folks, my young friend definitely has Devil's Highway 666 wired. Once we are North of Morenci, I don't see him again until he is waiting for me up the road!

Devil's Highway is absolutely Arizona's "Hidden Motorcycle Treasure" and if you haven't ridden 666, you need to do it ASAP!!

What do you think of those twisty tight curves there pinhead-not a speck of that white shit to be seen anywhere; eh CO BOY!

 

[Wanderer]

Nice Pics Skooter. Man I miss Arizona!

I really need to ride that road. I grew up in (and my parents still live in Prescott), that's one of the few in AZ I haven't hit. The pics remind me of hwy 89 from Wilhoit to Prescott commonly known as 'The Spars'. Sadly, that one is well known and usually patrolled.

You guys seem to setup and organize a Devils Highway (191) ride a couple times a year. Next time, hopefully in the Spring, I definitely have to be involved. Although while Skooter is waiting on you Don, you'll be waiting on me (oh, I forgot, no you won't, you'll leave me in some barren location). :ermm:

Don't worry Dan, I will be at the back of the pack with you and Don whilst the track day vets burn up the Devil's Highway.

Very fine pictures Greg. I like the rapid fire shots. Jack did some nice riding.
