Or if he were low enough he can trailer it and force a man twice his age with a terminal medical condition to drive day and night 'till he gets there.

...while wearing a leather jacket, I might add. ![]() The problem with riding that early in the morning is the increased risk of having a run-in with large game animals.

Packed up my tent by flashlight in WY at 3:30 am to get on the road early. Spent the afternoon in Elko, NV in a air conditioned room and by the pool when it was 107. Back on the road at 4am today (Elko, Nv to Medford, OR)... worked for me.

I had a blast out there with every body! My only complaint was once we got into Kansas they wasn't as many Baskin Robins, Dairy Queens an Sonics to stop at to get a ice cream or a milk shake so I could eat them in Tom's freezing cold ass truck. That fleece throw he kept in there for his wife just wasn't enough to keep me cozy as I slept between ice cream stops.
A heavy Blanket and more moonshine next time or he can pound sand. ![]() ![]() ![]()

2 years ago we rode across the salt flats and northern Nevada and then back from Burns, OR across Idaho with hot enough temps of well over 100. We were all wondering what in the world we were doing.
