Highest temperature seen on today's 350 mile ride: 101

It certainly was hot.  We rode from Seguin to Fort Stockton.  101 on the bike thermometer for the last two hours.  So it was a bit short of wonderful.  But we made it safe and sound, albeit a tad wilted.

We are now planted in front of the air conditioning, drinking water and watching the news.

I forgot to take a photo of the bike showing 101 but I took a few others.

Stu ordered a new motorcycle subframe (it is the part that holds the fairing onto the front of the bike) while we were traveling.  He found a new one on EBay England for half the US price, and it arrived today at home. Our wonderful neighbors intercepted it and wrestled it away from the UPS guy, thereby avoiding the potential fate of it being shipped back to England.

Las Cruces tomorrow, fallback plan is El Paso.   Gees, we just checked the weather and we have a big front coming through the west on Thursday, 23-25 mph winds.  To avoid such a fun filled final day, we will make sure we are home Weds night ;)

Edit from Stu: I called Sena tonight and got instructions for a factory reset of Hilo's headset...which has apparently worked to resolve the dead headset issue.

  1. What could be better than this? So much fun riding in the heat. At least your headsets are fixed and you are now talking again. Welcome home to balmy AZ where the temperature high today is a pleasant 93 degrees.
