made a hail snowball, threw it at my son.
points on his bike fouled, didnt have a way to clean them on the road so we limped 80 miles to the next town with a parts store. cleaned them up, did a quick tune up and off we went.

saguaro lake, AZ. my favorite stretch of the ride.
roosevelt lake
hatch, nm
getting closer to home, storms ahead.
break in the weather in co springs. hail, rain and snow. 39 degrees here.
after riding over monument pass in blizzard conditions, 32 degrees and wind chill, we called it quits. We could only ride for 8 minutes at a time before we had to stop and warm our hands on our engines. my buddy who lives in castle rock gave us a lift home, the last 28 miles. made it home, safe and sound. around 2500 miles total, no major breakdowns. a great father-son trip for the books.

Great trip and write up. Its good to see these old bikes out of the shed and on the road in all sorts of weather conditions.
Great pics! Thanx for sharing...
Inspiring ! Very cool trip, great photos, thx for sharing.
James you do seem to have a knack or incredible luck with a camera. Enjoyed the ride!
You have to know your stuff in a serious way to road prep an old bike and keep it going on a trip like that. Congrats!
