Spent a week at Island Lake Campground up on Grand Mesa.
Lots of Riding and Exploring with Cap'n Ron.

I made a "Sneak Peek" video a few weeks ago, but I forgot to post it in here.
Finished the full-Video yesterday, so I'll post them both up.

Crank up the volume and Enjoy!

A professional style video again from you Alan, you really have a knack for putting together excellent viewing content. I got to meet Capt Ron briefly when he was touring Australia a few years ago at Glenn Sullys Manshed day, looks like he'd be a great touring companion.

Me thinks I need a different motorcycle. There are so many routes here in the red rock country of Sedona, AZ. that I can't take my FJ's on....except for that one time in Gunnison Co. at one of our Central FJ rallies...you know you're in trouble when you pass a group of jeeps parked on the side, and they look at you as if you're on mushrooms ...LOL.

Hopefully one day Alan !!

Lots of places to visit Alan and so little time it seems. Oz and NZ are next on the list for longer trips to places we've nit been to before, but also thinking about MotoGP at COTA in '25, so could possibly fly up to Denver from Texas and then over to Connecticut to visit the family afterwards.

Gotta get Liz on board now  :sarcastic:
