DID A QUICK LOOP ,~145 MILE,THROUGH PRAIRIE AS A SHAKE DOWN BEFORE THE NEVADA RIDE.
FIRST LONG RIDE SINCE THE AIR INTAKE CONVERSION. BOY WHAT A CHANGE , LIKE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT BIKE !
THE BIKE PULLS THROUGH THE ENTIRE RPM RANGE.
STOPPED TO PUT THE GOPRO ON THE HELMET. QUITE A BIT OF TRAFFIC SO I COULDN’T EVER OPEN THE THROTTLE UP.
THE CAR WITH ELMORE PLATES PULLED RIGHT OVER SO I COULD PASS, THE LEXUS GX WAS PRACTICALLY OBLIVIOUS
BUT EVENTUALLY SAW ME AND PULLED OVER.
I STOPPED TO CHECK OUT THE PRAIRIE BAR & RESTAURANT. IT REOPENED LAST FALL. AS SOON AS I WALKED IN SOMEONE WAS CALLING MY NAME ! IT WAS JEFF HAINES , HE HAD RIDDEN OVER FROM IDAHO CITY . HE SAID HIS SISTER AND BROTHER IN-LAW BOUGHT THE PLACE LAST FALL.
I TREATED MY SELF TO A PAIR OF OAKLEY FUEL CELL GLASSES. THEY WORK GREAT WITH LOW DUST.
OVERLOOKING THE SOUTH FORK JUST ABOVE DANSKIN BRIDGE. PARTS OF THE RIVER ARE REALLY SILTED UP FROM THE FIRES. ALL THE CAMPING IS CLOSED BUT MOST OF THE SITES WEREN’T TOUCHED BY THE FIRE.
IMMIGRANT ROAD ABOVE THE VALLEY FLOOR.
