Morning Check-in

Not much time to philosophize but I can report that yesterday was a mofo. Worth the pain, however, we're set up to relax & be tourists.

The RR initials are Roy Rogers!  We stopped to ask directions & were invited in to see the renovations at the Wild Hog Saloon in Oro Grande CA on Rt 66.  The place was a way station for the Butterfield Stage Line a few years back.  It's gonna be a topless waitress/dancer biker bar now. If I were still in the party life I'd go back in a hot minit.  We had some water & moved on.

Bishop CA

Got to Bishop CA about 10,30 after a very long day. Lost almost half a day with the repair to the Flattie, then we had to do 300 miles to get caught up.  That's a Lo.g long run.for these old bikes. It's late, I'm wiped out, so I think I'll sleep.

Silver Julbo Shades & Cruising.

I love these shades!  Check out the reflection.  Shades care of a good friend, kind of a long term loan.

Chuy & The Guys

Chit & the guys. His card is added if anybody needs work in the Indio neighborhood.

The Man Who Saved My Life Today

This is Chuy at Pro Auto Exhaust in Indio CA.  More details later but he did some welding on my rear brake linkage that now has the brake working like I've never experienced.  It had a minor come-apart last nite & had me wondering if I was to complete the trip with only the wimpy front, which is honestly a non-starter.  

I'd recommend this guy & his shop to anybody any time. Thank you Chuy & guys.

Field Fix Kit

I have enough tools to rebuild the bike (OK a small exaggeration) but they're buried in the saddlebags.  This is my "Field Fix Kit".  It should work for almost any quick fix, of which there are many.
