Plus - high winds. I wasn't prepared to that heavy-ass thing shaking and bouncing like a wild pony in the high desert winds, with me having had little to zero driving experience in quite a while and being ill-equipped in terms of clothing (the helmet almost blocked my view from being turned left from the lateral winds, the jacket was filled with hot air from them same winds, I was afraid I was gonna shoot up in the sky any minute or run over by one of them trucks as you aptly describe 'em...).<BR/><BR/>You have all my admiration to have continued as I took the Harley back the very next day and exchanged it for a SUV to get me and my camera to Grand Canyon West - one of my wiser decisions in hindsight. I wouldn't have made it to the newly opened Hualapai Skywalk that day, as I spotted two bikers turning away from the gravel road that very next day...<BR/><BR/>Had it been for the driving experience, I might have kept the 1200 Fat Boy, but... I wanted to see the Skywalk.<BR/><BR/>Kudos to your stamina!renovatiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03401105068996196622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22365987.post-82457200356204599712008-08-19T12:21:00.000-06:002008-08-19T12:21:00.000-06:00meeeeeeerrrcy!meeeeeeerrrcy!Libbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11391527426639231809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22365987.post-69361010476907513242008-01-02T02:53:00.000-07:002008-01-02T02:53:00.000-07:00so well written, having driven on that very stretc...so well written, having driven on that very stretch of freeway, I understand completely!harold hollingsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00729911692789213162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22365987.post-3764528501532758362007-12-05T12:32:00.000-07:002007-12-05T12:32:00.000-07:00The Universe has quite a sense of humor, doesn't i...The Universe has quite a sense of humor, doesn't it?
