I wouldn't call these carnage but there were a few sleepy bikes. One bike did manage to tear up a skid plate and crack an engine case but I will let the destroyer explain that one Did I mention how much I hate editing pix?
These are much more clear as JPEGS so as I edit some I will toss them here.

Fortunately I never went fast enough to have a crash - or maybe just nobody got a camera out in time

Ok guys, I have finally got my feet under me and am editing and uploading pictures and videos. I have them broken up day by day so here is Mobius trip days -2 and -1, that would be the day and a half it took to get there. It was actually 38 hours in the truck, five of us and a mattress in the back. Jay donated the mattress and a floral print sheet for us to crash on in between driving shifts:



Pretty comfy digs huh?

The morning started with me and Junior showing up for pancakes and scrambled eggs at 0530. The chef:


His handy work:


We had met the saturday before to do some work on the trailer and load all but two of the bikes, the morning of we loaded the rest of our crap and the last two bikes:






I think we could have gotten another 3-4 bikes in there. Opinions varied but I was thinking about 400's, not those fat-assed 6fiddies.

Just before we left Jay put a travelers sign on the back of the trailer, I lost the bet that it would last the trip, the DAMN thing was still on there when we got back!!


Our sending off party:

So, the original plan was to be wheels up at 0700. We finally left at about 0830. After about 45 minutes on the road it was decided by unanimous sphincter tightened riders that the sway of the trailer required a better hitch system. So, after getting the B'More we headed back to York to put an load distribution hitch on. Junior had to lend a hand with the installation:



I, of course, did what I do best: Supervise, take pictures and give shit. I am really good at it, just ask anybody on this trip.

After that is was West bound:



And driving:


And driving:


And navigating:


Snug as two bugs in a rug,,,,,er somthin

Let's just say Junior and I are a lot closer than we where before the trip.

Are we there yet?


Are we there yet?


Are we THERE YET?


Seriously, ARE WE THERE YET? Fer f_ck sake!!


And finally, after about 32 hours in the truck:


And, a few hours after that:


Sweet Mary Mother of Mercy, WE ARE IN MOAB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Junior]

[OnOff]

Well I WAS gonna snap some pix of the destroyed skid plate and cracked case but figured an unhappy camper might smash my camera
