Early ride

All the gear, all the time. I rode out Route 66 this morning in the cool mid 80 degree temperatures. On the way back, having coffee at Hackberry, a couple of Adventure Riders from Germany rode in on a matching pair of GS1200 BMWs. They must have been higher in elevation when they left, they were really layered up and roasting by the time they stopped here. They had very limited English, so we weren't able to talk much, but we smiled a lot. Seemed like nice guys. They really had a lot of nice gear too!

Getting used to the little Switchback. Small bike, big engine. Sort of plain looking for my taste, but I'm going to leave it pretty much like this, at least for awhile. A good "utilitarian" sort of ride.
