The Datil NM rally now with more great pictures

[Tom]

I'm coming from the east valley.  Anyone want to hook up in Apache Junction (E.V. folks) or Superior (Tucson, S.Az folks) for the ride up the SRC to Show Low?

Richard and Fay will be coming out from 16th & McDowell.  I'll pass the info on.  I'll be in Reno with the youngest going to UNV Reno.  My bike will be in PHX.    On the plus side the national convention will be going on in Reno same time period.     Harder to find a hotel room.

JJ, contact Matt for Cecil's info.  I know he got his bike with Matt's help.  I lost his info when my phone was destroyed last year.

That's the good news...the bad news is that Matt rarely answers emails....  
No worries...maybe Cecil will show up this year (?) and we will reconnect then or I will talk to Matt...
Thanks!

No, Matt does not answer emails  :)  You have to do it the old fashioned way and call him.  Leave a message and he'll get back to you.

Thanks charlie b...and no worries, as I will see Matt again next Fri. anyway!  

Hopefully, Cecil will show up this year, as he lives / works in Gallaup, NM.

Only 11 days to go...and then...it's "ROAD TRIP" time once again!!

For any east valley folks who want to meet up -

How about we meet at Goldfield Chevron Friday morning.  It is on the SE corner of Goldfield Rd. and US-60 in Apache Junction.  I am planning to ride up the Salt River Canyon route.  Kick stands up at 7:00AM puts us in Show Low before 10:00AM.

He'll be re-stocking his image bank for next year's shameless bump-fest!

Wonder why it hasn't been "stick-ied" to prevent the need for daily bumping to stay visible?

Looks like it meets the usual criteria?

Know the Shell.  Stopped there to top off on the way up Tortilla Flats w/the possibility of going to Beeline after Fishcreek Pass  Wanted to take a dip in Roosevelt Lake.  Have a good ride!

Oh, I guess I just did.

In case anyone has any interest, here's a link to a web page that will show my track to Datil, riding while there, and trip home. Tracking should start at 5 am Friday and continue through Sunday night.

This shows the most recent info; use the controls on the web page to expand the time frame back if you like.

I use a SPOT satellite tracker and Jason Jonas' excellent SPOTwalla website, which adds a bunch of capabilities that aren't present in the SPOT service.

So, did you stop at the Bear Wallow in Alpine for lunch/breakfast?

No, I skipped Alpine on the way home. I did ride through on Saturday, though. From the Largo in Quemada, I took 260 across to Cottonwood, dropped through Jerome and Prescott, evaded a speed trap on the road over to Baghdad, and then headed for home. Managed to avoid the growing thunderclouds, didn't really get any heat till Wikiup. Good to see some old friends in person for the first time, and make a few new ones - a good event.

Currently relaxing with a big glass of wine and three annoyed cats...

Nice ride, good weather, great to see everyone again!  :1:

[JJ]

...and of course, a plethora of interesting and fine Moto Guzzi's!!  :1:
