That's a gorgeous bike, JJ. Most of my Arizona experience was in the SE part of the state, but I love 89A out of Flagstaff (home of Northern Arizona University)...

Right.  I was going to ask if that's 89A?  What a blast!

Yes...maybe in my retirement...but it will make an appearance at the annual 2017 Cottonwood N.A.R. the first weekend in May...and definitely at the New Mexico Rally in Datil in mid-August 2017.  :1: :cool: :thumb:
