The trip between Albuquerque and Amarillo, mostly on the I-40, was totally boring and uneventful. I left Albuquerque in the morning with a light rain starting, and saw the cloud following me as I was riding toward Amarillo, but never catching me, for my luck. Not much more to be said, plain boring š I […]
Day 13: Thursday, Nov. 3 – Old Albuquerque & Music With Friends
So, I started the day bringing the bike to R&S Honda Polaris, which seemed the dealership with the best reviews among two in Albuquerque. Martin, the service manager received me friendly and understanding the time constraint set everything for my bike to get not the basic service – which should have been done around 4000 […]
Day 12: Wednesday, Nov. 2 – Bluff to Albuquerque, NM
So once more, I packed my stuff, loaded everything on the bike, and from theĀ Cadillac Ranch RV Park in Bluff, I rode this time to Four Corners, for a start. Little roads, some twisties, the ride was nice, despiteĀ the fact the desert landscapes were startingĀ to get me a little bored (too much of good things, […]
Day 11: Tuesday, Nov. 1 – Monument Valley to Bluff, UT
Day 10: Monday, Oct. 31 – Grand Canyon to Page, AZ
So, after theĀ quick usual oatmeal breakfast,Ā packing back the sleeping bag, mattress, tent and other camping gear and setting up everything on the bike, I took the direction of the anxiously expectedĀ Grand Canyon. It’s so funny you cross what seems toĀ a vast plain of diverse vegetation, finally becoming pine forests, and of a sudden, it’s there, […]
Day 9: Sunday, Oct. 30 – Las Vegas to Flagstaff, AZ
Definitely not an exceptional day. Left Vegas after moving all the stuff from the room to the bike – kind of boring but I’m getting fasterĀ installing everything on the bike – and took the direction of the Grand Canyon KOA inĀ Flagstaff, AZ which would be my stop for the day. I tried couchsurfing one more […]
Day 8: Saturday, October 29 – Stovepipe Wells, CA to Las Vegas, NV
So I left around the same time as usual (packing everything takes soooo much time…) after exchanging business cards with the neighbours, two best friends from Los Angeles I had discussed with a bit the night before, and made a first quick stop at the sand dunes. With all gear on, there was no way […]
Day 7: Friday, Oct. 28th – Big Pine, CA to Stovepipe Wells, CA
Day 6: Thursday, Oct. 27th – Reno, NV to BigPine, CA
Left Reno around 8:30am, happy to see my bike was still on the parking lot of the hotel. Just before leaving the room, IĀ had takenĀ a few pictures from the foggy/dirty window. The ride started pretty well, with a gorgeous view on Washoe Lake. A little after that I was passing the hell’s gate… And I […]
