Covered in Dust

We received a cancellation notice for our reservation in DV for 4/14 at the Inn in Death Valley. CiD

That looks like something I’d offer $80.00 for and maybe go $125.00 max.

It’s a shame that some companies don’t try harder to take care of their employees. Back when I had my business my wife and I didn’t take a paycheck for almost a year one time so we wouldn’t have to lay-off anyone during an economic downturn.

This is a great read about Posties. https://advrider.com/f/threads/sydney-to-london-on-a105cc-honda-callled-dot.460631/ CiD

I use both breaks.......

I guess I don’t count?

I do like it but you have to be careful. I burned a hole in one of the sides that hang down and my sleeping bag also got burned. I have been changing setups on my luggage on almost every ride but think I’ve finally found what works best for me. You’ll see it next month. CiD

Looks like a fun Loop, sorry I missed it.

I was asked in a private message on this forum what my issues were with the series. Here is my response. Well there were a few things. 1st putting people in a position to get hurt. Then when a couple of his group couldn’t make it to the top of Ophir pass he just sat at the top while they struggled. They were very close to the top and I would have ridden their bikes through the short difficult section for them. I’ve ridden that section twice and it’s hard but not that long. The real pisser for me was at the end when one of the riders broke with the group to ride back with an injured rider. He tried to rejoin the group the next day and Brian wouldn’t let him. Total douchebag move in my book. There were things he did or says in almost ever segment that just aren’t right. On any multi day ride I’ve ever been on with a group we never leave anyone behind! These were just some of the things I didn’t agree with. CiD

I think it’s worth watching just for what not to do on a group ride

I posted on Brian Tome’s site that I wouldn’t invite him on any of our rides. I think he was an ass for most of what he did. CiD

Thanks guys

Pretty sure if he’d been on KTM last year he would have won. His Honda died on the 2nd to last day when he was in the lead. CiD
