Dang this is gonna be tough to update things regularly, these are lonnnng days!
Day 1 was from Corralitos to Flagstaff, roughly 740 miles. Longest motorcycle day I’ve done so far. I felt pretty good up until the last hour. Started out at 43F and was a high of 87F going across the Mojave so that wasn’t too bad. Ended up meeting up with another motorcycle buddy who lives there, so no time for updates.
Day 2 was Flagstaff to Wichita Falls, TX with a brief detour into Oklahoma so I can knock that off without actually having to ride a bunch in Oklahoma.. sorry Oklahoma.
This was a long, long day.. and probably the maximum I can do. Roughly 860 miles. Plus I forgot about the time zone thing, so I rolled into Wichita Falls at 8 PM!
Once you leave the canyon areas of Arizona/NM, it is pretty dull. This part of Texas seems to consist entirely of cows, windmills and alfalfa farms.
I did eat some BBQ before checking into my hotel so at least I can say I ate BBQ in Texas.
Tomorrow I am hoping to get to New Orleans and I plan to take a day there to eat some food.
Motorcycle is humming along, if you’re gonna sit on a bike for 12 hours, the FJR1300 is definitely the bike for it!
