Melinda (@changecatalysts ) & I are starting day 3 of a 9 day, 2,300+ mile 🏍🏍 motorcycle adventure. We’re 596 miles in, currently in central Nevada riding across the “Loneliest Road in America” U.S. Route 50. So far the weather has been crazy! Today we ride to Great Basin National Park & see if we can camp Oak City, Utah tonight. We’re suppose to camp⛺️⛺️ two nights but high winds and a dust storm has prevented night one. We’ll try again tonight if not, all Glamping & resorts from here on out😎. The route is from San Francisco to Utah to Arches National Park, then to Monument Valley, then cross over to Zion National park, after that ride down to Las Vegas. After Vegas we pass through Death Valley up to Mammoth, Yosemite. The final stretch is ride through Yosemite back to San Francisco!

When the adventure calls! Looking back at mods from the Bay Area Desmo Owners @_badoc Club annual Multi-Mayhem Yosemite Ride a couple of weekends ago. Going to make some adjustments for @changecatalysts and I upcoming trip post @techinclusion conference next week. Going to replace my custom windshield I made with a thinner lower one to remove the black line and buffering from the taller one. I’m going to add my 2nd @piaa_usa yellow fog light back and replace the bulb with an xtreme white one. I don’t play, when it comes to riding in the dark and desert. Been there, done that. And I’m going to mount my @rotopaxofficial gas can to my rear rack and put my @velomacchi bag on top. The @ridekriega OS platform bags straps works better when not trying to layer on top the rotopax. Plus the will move some of the weight to the rear vs the sides. Every trip is a learning lesson and I’ll get it right eventually. Plus preparing for our first #motocamping adventure! Live, love, travel! Have a great weekend humans!
