I snapped this after outrunning a storm near the New Mexico/Texas border. I think it's my new favorite pic of the Mothership. Oklahoma City tomorrow, Springfield, MO Friday, Terre Haute, IN Saturday and Morgantown on Sunday! See y'all there.  Ride Safe, Alien |

Thanks for sharing that. I'm jealous and wish I could be on the road but some other year.
Ride safe, everyone.

Good grief, the rally only covers a week, can't imagine needing that much "stuff" for a short time period. In years past I've taken trips covering weeks rather than a few days and didn't have half that.  Neat picture, not sure where it was taken on the border but I've been through there in August. Traveling west Texas or crossing Kansas that time of year isn't my idea of fun. That pic reminds me of dodging a twister in west Kansas many years ago, backtracked to an overpass about a mile back, laid the bike down and scrambled up the embankment. Changed my shorts at the next stop.  And yes, I'm jealous 'cuz the wife's health issues prevents me from making the trip this year. Have a great trip, coming that far makes it an adventure instead of just another trip. |

Nice picture, but may I suggest that you stay ahead of those things. Once you get on I-70, I should be a few hundred miles ahead of you. See you in Morgantown...

Jeez guys, its just a tail bag and a small ice chest. The other stuff you see is my jacket and helmet that I took off before the picture was taken. After Inzane, I'm heading to Baton Rouge for a few days, then up to Sacramento and finally back home to Los Angeles. So, three weeks on the road.

that's just the way I like seeing those types of storms, in my rearview mirror ride safe, keep the rubber side down. Have a great time in Morgantown as well as the rest of your trip. |
