5 days West - Photo thread

I decided not to do a ride report but I wanted to upload the photo's and occasional comment. If you are looking for a detailed report, this isn't it. If you want to look at some mediocre photos of NM, AZ CO, UT, stick around.

Taos, NM - Dulce, NM

Really enjoying the pics DQ. I normally don't read the articles anyway, so keep 'em coming.

Day 2 continued

Day 2 continued

Nice

I'll be there in 11 weeks for 2 weeks. I noticed you have a rotopax, did you ever need it? What kind of range do those ktms have? I've contemplated adding one on my Tenere for added insurance. Not sure I really need it with a 6 gal tank.

Day 3, May 14th


Blanding, UT - Mexican Hat, UT


Highlights= Elk Mountain Rd

I never needed the extra fuel but it was nice to have the peace of mind. The 990 only gets 180-200 miles on a tank.

Mexican Hat, UT - Escalante, UT (via the Ferry)

Thanks!

I think I'll be fine without then. Tenere can go between 230-250 on those type roads.

Did y'all ride out there or trailer? I'd love to ride but my wifes going so I'm taking the house literally and garage.:eek1

Four corners is one of my stops as is Grand Canyon on the south rim, Vegas, Hoover dam and Arches national park.

Thanks for sharing I am really enjoying the pics.
