[QUOTE="Nanotech9, post: 822970, member: 676"] So basically, from here on in to OKC the winds sucked, the temperatures were in the high 90’s till night-fall, and the ride was un-eventful. In Dumas I ran into their version of Jay and Silent Bob… except silent bob talked a lot, and their monkey was really a dog…. They had been sitting outside this gas station for 3 or 4 hours already, and apparently were playing a guessing game. I tried to listen in a bit and it went something like this: “Awe man… Stevie Nicks!” “Yeah, man that’s right man!” “You almost got me man!” “Yeah man and I’m not even into the T’s yet man!” a little more back and forth banter about guessing songs and bands and singers from lyrics etc and they noticed an old white muscle car leaving the gas station… they got up and got the driver to rev it up a bit and started yelling “yeah man old school – that’s right man… lets hear it… yeah… old school right there man…” and so forth. Gave me the opportune moment to snap a pic just after the car took off. I hope they find the question to their answers in life on whatever journey they’re on. Jay and talking Bob... [b][Broken External Image][/b] "give it hell man!" (car is out of picture to the right) [b][Broken External Image][/b] Texas... flatter than Oklahoma? [b][Broken External Image][/b] Peek-a-boo!.... its like... a myspace self-portrait! [b][Broken External Image][/b] Wind Generator farm [b][Broken External Image][/b] A quick bite to eat at Arbys in Amarillo, through the infamous continual construction on I40 in Oklahoma, and I rolled into the driveway at 1am local time right behind my G/F (she works 2nd shift) for a grand total of 48hours from when I first threw a leg over the bike and headed out of Palm Springs. Many thanks to everyone who chatted with me along the way on the phone or in txts or on facebook and kept my mind busy, to everyone who loaned me gear and electronics and gave advice, and to anyone else I missed. It was a great spur of the moment adventure and I hope to have many more like it, and anyone that wants is encouraged to ride with me. For all 250+ pictures i took, just click here and browse through them. the best ones are in this thread though.
