I picked the best of the best and wanted to post one more time on the trip before I moved on. The pic of the beamer and I in the valley was about an hour out of El Paso and I needed to use the restroom, there where no services at this exit, but the expanse of nothing was nice. As the sun peaked up on Thursday morning 2 hours to Tucson I began to think of my responsibilities at home and hit the road early, making two great pic's in the process. About 6 days after I got back, it was time to head to Harolds. I had a great time and the burnout was short but smoked out the bar. You can see the headlight between Dirty and me in the pic. The routine has since picked up and all is normal again, but it looks like a good tune will do. I will be burn'n and turn'n on the morning of July 3rd to get to McBro's in time for the party. Megan, her bro and Evelyn will be flying down and spending time in the area as well as the party.

I posted these a little close and the chronopictograph is incorrect. It was an awesome and somewhat epic trip for me. It was so awesome to see family again the trip itself paled, but was still very enjoyable. Somewhere west of Las Cruces I blew a fuse and should have put a relay on the driving lamps like Fred said, I hard wired them for 16 bucks after a failed relay repair $21 bucks didn't do the trick, the bmw sips fuel and the tires are cheaper than the last two bikes I have ridden. The ABS is working a little more intermittently, I believe a new battery may just help it out a bit. I helped a stranded motorcyclist get some fuel and he tipped me more than I paid for food all the way back. There is something surreal about chasing that mirror of a mirage in the distance for hours, the camera was just what I needed to focus on the details and actually made for a safer trip as I was always looking for something to take a picture of. The kick stand finally gave way just outside of Tucson while I was looking for a bush. Just as it kissed the ground and started to give I caught the bike in its momentum and caught it, but the kickstand had been failing for a while and I happened to be the guy who severely overloaded it one too many times, the center stand works flawlessly. The vids with the bike riding should be watched with the sound down as the condenser mic does not like wind too much. Looking for more rides and time in the future, but for now a little love would do the beemer justice for ticking like a swiss watch through the dirty south and into the dusty west. Love you and thank you all. Especially Fred and Linda, Thank you for your hospitality, love and time.

I have a really cool family. Fred and I have spent the last few days together just chilln and rebuilding a bike together, granted the bike didnt need much it was fun. The RT was a little tricky in spots and Freds Mcguyver came out a little, but we were having fun. While we were at the preventitive stuff we put in some spot and brake lights as well as some tunes. It turned out real good. Heading to baton rouge tomorrow and need to get some sleep.

Just checking out picasa 3, Out of all the things in Alabama to check out, I had to stop here. It was my inspiration for velcroing my stuff to the motorcycle.
