The color was doing flip flops too
You have to tell her it is HER bike, like Ken did to Gail

I keep thinking of Arizona for retirement so I can ride a lot more. Then I think about how hot it can be in the summer. Not that I'll ever be able to retire. Never started saving for it so just gonna work til I can't any more.

AZ has some good places to retire with cooler weather in summer.
Flagstaff
Prescott
Heber
Showlow
Strawberry
Payson
Pine
Greer
Summerhaven (really small on Mt Lemmon)

My Lemmon is beautiful, small but has some great riding.



Of all the places I've been in AZ, Cave Creek is probably the most beautiful and it's a biker haven.
