Major Repair # 2 Salina Utah

Shea says" Man my bike is making allot of noise."
Ricky says" Sounds like a valve adjuster is lose, we can fix it tonight.". 300 miles later we get to the camp sight. I was right in thinking it was lose. I was quite surprised when we found it was gone. # 3 cylinder had no intake adjuster or lock nut. We pull off the valve cover and found the obvious signs of it bouncing all over in the top end before being pulled down the timing chain to the bottom end. After the initial OH SHIT moment we make some calls and have one coming our way via Jay in SLC. What Michael did was look around our local environment the next morning and came upon a junk yard in the middle of the desert Utah. Found the only Honda motor in the entire place and to boot it was half buried in the muck.. 2 dollars later we were well on our way to Las Vegas. Jay brought the spare one and the adjuster is still in the bottom end. Hondas are freaking bullet proof.

I know I know


I will try and write words to the picture but really if you weren't where then it is a little hard to understand . We rode thru the Nevada desert into Las Vegas in the late afternoon. It was the hottest I have ever been in my life. I believe the temp was115 degrees but the heat off the black top was choking us out. All at different times we almost puked. I drank almost a gallon of water and almost killed myself . We said allot of funny and retarded stuff in two weeks but at this very stop all I could say was. " It is hotter than Satan's Asshole". Everyone knew I was right and we pushed on..

Sweet Bro Tatz

Yeah we are lame but when I am 80 years old this tattoo will still be awesome and you will still be lame as fuck. Bearded Hobbits are 3 deep now. Hand Hugs and Fuck Two Wheels until my ass heals.

Devils Gourge

I believe this is Utah still. Look out point and a crazy deep canyon. We sat on the edge and threw rocks off. Yep we would be dead if we fell. There was a little old native women selling wares right under this sign. It was funny as hell because it was the first thing Michael saw when we pulled in. Once again my camera does not do it justice but you get the point. I look fucking ragged at this point.

Interesting

It was a little harder to figure out some of these because they were all over my face. A natural sun screen. UGGGHH

Real Big Trees and Yosemite

After we left my moms place we rode up to the Redwood national park. Really big trees. I had been there before but the rest of the guys were impressed. "OMG whose are really big trees". Next was a truly shit ride through Yosemite. It was pretty and all but the 36 degree temp and freezing rain[sleet] kinda blew. Michael doing the jiggle wiggle sums that up. There are huge waterfalls all over and most of the roads had 6 inches of water running over them. Hit almost 10,000 feet going over Tioga pass. Bikes don't like that and rain. Talk about gutless backfiring turds. We dropped out of Cali and into Nevada. Then enjoyed one of the best rides ever.
