Just got back from Colorado.
« on: August 05, 2011, 10:23:07 PM »
We got back to the house a little after 5:00pm. We hit the road a little before 7:00am. A little under 400 miles, about half of it in 110* F. Too ay the least I am exhausted, slightly toasted and working on getting re-hydrated.
We put a little over 2000 miles on the Road King in a week.  Had a little rain, a little hail and a little sleet and way too much heat on the way home.

Me and the Mrs. in Rocky Mountain National Park.

110 has to be bad enough.  I can't imagine it in a 60mph wind!

Awesome pictures though!

On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], "Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

Typical weather for Colorado in July. Fun when you're on two wheels.

60mph?  More like 80 on the interstate and 70 on state highways =D.

Awesome. When I was back home, Kansas, a week ago my parents told me it had been above 100 for over 40 days.

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben
