NOTES:
- ROKFORM Perch Mount was excellent! All that I could have wished for.
- AIRHAWK R was very comfortable and extended the rides. 2nd Day was 567 miles.
- Western Inn in Gunnison, Great manager, she handed out bike towels to the riders as they came in (12 the night I stayed)
- Leaving Dallas I rode 2 1/2 hours in the dark before the sun came up. Watched for critters, probably wouldn't do that again.
Oh, wanted to mention I only had one problem with the bike. Woke one morning and it wouldn't recognize the FOB, enter PIN.. Happened two time the night before. I carry the spare FOB in the jacket with the battery upside down (not active). Swapped the batteries and on my way.
Last stop before Dallas was Childress, Tx. This poor guy had been there a week waiting on parts for his Wing. 4 of the 5 lug nuts came off the back wheel. Turned into the Death wobble. Managed to get it to the hotel.
Great pictures. It is a beautiful state. Great riding. My fob battery died on the way home from CO. I had stopped at a TX rest area. Got on the bike, turned it on and nothing. "Enter PIN". I put the fob up near controls and nothing. So I changed the battery in the 105 degree TX heat.
