Moab was one of my favourite places visited in the USA. I guess because I wasn't sure what I should expect there. It's a magic spot and one I'd like to return to one day.

Thanks to all, I will have a co this weekeng and try to get the old girl a tad more reliable at idling...
I've been overseas for a while and haven't been up with KB and the biker scene until recently. Many thanks for the unpaid work done by you and others for the rest of us.
hurp de derp
TV movies? You mean Pr0n doncha! Surprised you didn't have to stop for a toilet break often with all the fluids you seem to be imbibing!
Having your fill of adventure huh? It's a long way from those cornfields now innit Mr fancy pants! : Good on you for mucking through - no option but to go forward! At least you are building up those off-roading skills!

I dunno StoneY, shit mate all that work, hours and hours of behind the scenes toil keeping you away from from what your fighting for...spilling your guts out in a Blog with whys and wherefores with the odd etc thrown in..... after all that I couldn't get passed you using the word " sagacious" in a sentence the rest was lost from that point.... So in the friendliest way possible-- ON YA BIKE!! and often

too many big words. Huh?

Yeup, overtaking someone and you wondered where all the power was going. It was still quite usable though. You should have seen me gasping though, when I walked the last bit to the top

I absolutely don't miss the fuel issues. With a bigger tank I almost always filled once a day, so you barely hear of any issues where I couldn't get a high enough octane in the middle of nowhere, because I didn't have the issue.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading your blog. Great work, and very inspirational!! Thanks for sharing.
It was a great trip and a great blog. I very much enjoyed reading it...altough did miss a few bits here and there. Always entertaining and amusing.
Typical, the guy who you gave a lift to and promptly forgot his details must be the bike friendly motel owner at Deals Gap. He even allows bikers to roll their bikes into the rooms! I swear, your sociopathic approach to human communications does leave something to be desired!
Quadding is fun, when I did it in the SI, I was the only rider who turned up - I got to eat lunch for 6 people! Plenty of good eats and drink! Sounds like you had some fun - but I noticed you didn't say whether any of the girls were cute!
Once again your moniker always attacts the weird situations ... hopefully you don't break yourself on an ATV!
