Rounding out 2023 and onto 2024.

Home to the clouds and rain Have had a couple days in Portland, connecting with friends and getting a few errands run. Including dropping my 1150GS off for some work on the front end so it is rideable (might get 1,200 miles to turn over 100K after all). Had lunch with...

Flew home yesterday as BMW will be replacing the entire engine on my bike, and it has to come from Germany. Will take a couple weeks to ship to Tucson and get installed. Decided to come home, visit friends and family with the downtime. Sam also flew home to get some...

Went over to the Iron Horse BMW mid day to check in on the New Engine that was approved by BMW warranty. Jim the service Rep has been great in keeping me updated, but there was lots of wait time while it made it through the BMW corporate process. and then we had a...

Here we are in Tucson. Waiting for the major bike repair is hard. We wanted to be riding in Mexico by now, but we are stuck here. We are making the most of the time, but still not like being on the road. For me it is a bit easier for me, as my bike is the one broken...

It's Wednesday. It's a bit of a waiting game as my bike is in at Iron Horse being torn apart. Trying to determine what is wrong, and how long it will take to fix. Jim my service advisor has been great, even though he does not have all the information yet, and they...

We woke up early and were ready to get on the road again. Gave my brother a big hug as he put us up and took care of us!! Had a service at Iron Horse BMW in Tucson for the 6K service just because I would be outside the US , so i wanted them to check it over. They were...

Another day relaxing and getting rested for the ride. We took a little ride to get coffee and take a few photos amongst the Suguaro's The Catus are very sharp. Ouch! Had ordered a new Windscreen and it arrived via FedEx. It is a Britannia Composites ltd Mirage 2. It...

Was a day off from riding, time to evaluate the gear and then doing some Bike maintenance. Miles 24 for the day Weather Hot and Sunny 90's Hung out with my Brother Bruce, had lunch together and then Czfcathy invited us over to work on our bikes and for dinner! Her...
