What is to come...


So we have been doing our research. In my previous post, I mentioned wanting something to communicate with each other on the trip. This is where the majority of my research has been, and I found out some disappointing information. I found a couple of states that did not allow headphones, others that would allow them if they were for communication. Based on this site, state motorcycle laws 2018, Colorado is the only one that still has the law that we will be traveling through. So to try and find out what our options are I turned to Sena's website, and they have a half helmet with them built-in. It appears that the Cavalry is being discontinued and the Cavalry Lite is replacing it. I watched a couple of reviews from some reputable sites, Revzilla, and such and the Cavalry worked at speeds to around 50 mph. Anything faster you lost some of the performance in the built-in mic and wind noise took over.

Zak has been trying on some of my old gear and looking into what his look will be. My old gear will be sufficient for his class coming up in Feb, so he has no rush to buy something now. He did find a pair of gloves and glove liners, so hoping they will be warm come February.

This week I will be starting to book some hotels. Really want to get the ones we want in the price range we prefer before they sell out. HOG warned that ones closer to the National Parks would sell out quicker and I'm not wanting to test my odds!

 Going to need a bigger HD Poker Chip display for sure, this one is full!

With this upcoming trip, I am double my states I have ridden in!

For those of you in Central Arkansas, you have been feeling the weather, cold and wet. This past weekend we took some preventative measures to keep Zak's bike dry.



Also, let the bikes out to enjoy some time in the sun! Now they just need a bath, but going to wait a bit on that, still a little cold for that!




Thanks for keeping up with us, and please leave any comments or concerns below. This will be the longest trip I have been on and I'm betting the widest range of weather/temperatures. From the summer heat in July going through Texas and New Mexico, to the altitude of the Rockies as we head north.

And donations can be made here GoFundMe to raise some money for this endeavor.

Border to Border Posse Ride '21 The Long Way Home +2-3

Image
 Day two of the trip home was going by Devils Tower. This was on my list to see! Not researching or knowing anything more than it looked cool, it didn't disappoint either! We even saw rock climbers! At Devils Tower, there was another boulder field which Zak and I climbed on with air this time. Somewhere during this excursion, I managed to hurt my back. I believe it was from carrying the camera and camera bag. As irritated as I am over it, I'm glad it waited until the trip home! From here we left the park and the phone service messed up and I turned left at a light and quickly went I don't think this is the right place. I pulled over in a driveway and we pulled out the map. Locating ourselves and figuring out where we needed to be I put it in gear checked my mirrors and noticed Highway Patrol getting out of his car. I rolled down the window to him saying we don't allow parking here, it is clearly marked. I looked up and see a sign on the side of the road. To which I repl...

HOG Touring Rallies 2021

 The HOG Touring Rallies are back on for 2021. And from the looks of it, the just moved the ones scheduled from 2020. So the Riding the Ozarks is back. However this is Zak's Senior Year. His interest in riding and 2021 being his last summer before heading off to college, what better way to spend it than going on a motorcycle trip. With that in mind the Touring Rally I have my eye set on is the Border to Border Posse Ride. They have created an epic 10-day journey that takes you from the Border of Texas at El Paso all the way up the spine of the Rocky Mountains to Roosville, MT and the Canadian Border, and then back to Missoula, MT for our final closing party. This 2,600+ mile route promises a once-in-a-life time journey to some places you may have already visited, but certainly don’t mind coming back to experience again. However, you can also count on new experiences and places you’ve probably always wanted to scratch off your top 10 list. Their portion as mentioned above is about 2...
