My "later reward" after 70-mile-ride...
"Fuel" for upcoming ride: Cheese dogs!
Preparation of avocado...
...add this...
...plus "one blob" of this...
...yields "world class" GUACAMOLE!
Inspirational view (out kitchen window)...
Zoom-pic: Not going up there today (too cold)
I cleaned & installed my air-filter...
...and hit-the-road!
Goal: "Fast average" speed
Bike: KTM (made-in-Austria) 40hp & 240-lbs "90-mph rocket"
Catch me if you can!
Flying under the clouds
Heading for Jawbone station...
Can't miss this sign :-)
10 miles to Jawbone, but no more signs :-(
Scenic & fast route...
Love the scenery...
"Dry wash". During a T-storm, a "wall of water" rushes down...
...and crushes all before it. Note the lake in the distance.
Aftermath: Remains of "somebody" hit by the wall-of-water.
Hi-tech... Electric start! Neato for a "race bike"...
Fuel me!
Continuing on... What is this? Saw many of these today...
Mysterious chemical-cars..
...dwarf my bike...
Scary :-(
1940's artillery range... Recent explosion here "took a truck to heaven" (so I was told)...
What bozo would drive a truck through an old artillery range?
Back "on track"...
Wooooo-Wooooo!
Look very close at the front...
..see the door opening (scary)...
Friend or foe?
Ha! The engineer! He invited me in, hi-tech!
Wow! What a view!
Every kids' dream! Ride the locomotive! Wide-angle-picture makes me look fat :-(
This was a "crew change" but the transfer-car sank-in-mud :-(
Heading home to the far valley...
"Desert racer" without equal: KTM-300 w/6-gal gas tank...
I am a happy guy!
Home: Horrid mud, consistency & stickiness of "chewed bubble gum"...
Did NOT come off easily...
Like "brown glue" yuck...
Hmmm... Driving rain cleaned my car perfectly!
Dinner! Guacamole! Ole! Thanks for viewing! Feedback appreciated!
