A couple of times I had to take them off so I could (almost) see!<br />As for the Harleys, it's the rider that's supposed to scare you, not the bike. :)Canajunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529505799866207528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259433565415179843.post-88904237630327301912013-09-24T19:08:03.413-04:002013-09-24T19:08:03.413-04:00Trobairitz - We had a great time - rain and all.Trobairitz - We had a great time - rain and all.Canajunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529505799866207528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259433565415179843.post-33835759233012426342013-09-23T11:54:24.348-04:002013-09-23T11:54:24.348-04:00A lot of your days were in the rain, but I am so g...A lot of your days were in the rain, but I am so glad you all enjoyed your trip.

This year I was less than half an hour from Moab but I was out of time and had to continue riding West.<br /><br />I am thinking that you may have had "warm" rain which is refreshing rather than the cold rain we get here.

Just need to be careful in stop-and-go situations for a while until you get used to it.Canajunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17529505799866207528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8259433565415179843.post-70181329299053178932013-09-23T05:02:30.699-04:002013-09-23T05:02:30.699-04:00Just read your trip report.

We did this back in 2011, alas with a car as hubby doesn't ride big motorcycles, and I didn't want to ride with a 200lbs guy on my back... The scenery will be forever in my mind wishing I could to it on a bike next time around. Thanks for the memories.
