The weather was nice again, so we did a repeat ride of last weekend. We ended up in northeast Ector County at Ye Olde Buckhorn.



There were close to 100 bikes while we were there:

This is the Buckhorn's cat. He's frisky:

This is the Buckhorn's dog. He's tired:

Man, you hate to see this, but it is an unfortunate part of the motorcycle culture in West Texas. I wish they had been root beer bottles instead:

We investigated this fire "on the way" home. I put that phrase in quotations because we actually had to go long out of our way to find it. We could see this fire from Goldsmith. We tracked it down to southern Ector County, south of Odessa. I have no idea what was burning, but the smoke would alternate from white to black, then back to white again repeatedly. It burned all day:

It was another laid back, enjoyable day. We didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but as many of you know, just being on a motorcycle is a special occasion in and of itself.

Peace. Everyone have a great week.

Wow! Looks like I missed out on the fun! I rode some Saturday, 10 minutes to the Mall at 6am 29 degrees, 10 minutes home Saturday night at 10 40 degrees.:giveup:
The local Gold Wing Road Riders club had a Motorcycle awareness thing so we stuck the Heavy Bus in there. Wish I could have rode more!

I heard the radio spot for the GWRRA thing, but totally forgot about it. Didn't they do the same awareness event last year?
