Ride-On claims just that - centrifugal force balances the tires and seals the road contact patch but nothing else.

I've been using it and good results with balancing and hoping that it seals if I get a nail - but the nail will have to be in the center of the tire......

A geological wonder that ranks right up there with any of them .... Rode there in 2013, so didn't hit it again this time around.   Given the massive crowds at Bryce and Zion and the GC (even off season in the middle of the week) it's nice having the Black Canyon to yourself almost any time ....

Doing AZ?  Painted Desert, Meteor Crater, Grand Canyon (North rim) and Petrified Forest.   :thumb:
From the Deep Deep South out in left field.  There are no stupid questions.  There are however stupid people asking questions.  🤣, this includes me.  😉 Hawaii.

Home now .... We only took a month and had a whole country to see, so as much as we might have liked to, we couldn't see EVERYthing .... We rode across Northern Arizona, saw the Vermilion Cliffs, Navajo National Monument, and the North Rim.   Half the fun, though (just like the rest of the trip) was watching some amazing countryside and scenery unroll, seeing how people lived, and talking to them at gas stops and diners, and sometimes just taking a detour down an interesting looking road that sort of went in "our direction".....

It's the new thang Chuck, it's now a write report, not a ride report after all!   :laugh:

Also hoping for some pics but they seem to be locked inside a camera with no batteries...maybe they need to be rescued with  a Photo SWAT team of some sort!

I agree and feel the lack deeply.   But my passive mismanagement of my Apple over the years has resulted in 25,000 photos on my one-and-only active hard drive (tho' backed up), and no space left for new ones, a problem I must solve .....

That would be storing them in the "cloud", well known to the police, and infamous due to my "Photobucket" experience, where everything's sunshine and roses until they clamp down and hold your photos hostage for a $400 ransom.

I use "smugmug" to store photos for sharing, but my photo albums and backups are going to be under MY hand on my desk.    Went out and bought a $60 terabyte-sized external USB drive last night.   Since it took me 9 years to fill up a 250 gigabyte disk, I figure that a terabyte will last out my time .....

I think the chances of Google going away are less than the chance an external or USB drive will poop the bed. Free, too. And automatic.

Still I have backup.
