It keeps the sweat from evaporating so fast, thus keeping me cooler and slowing dehydration. I get funny looks out on the road, but I look in better shape than riders just wearing the t-shirts. Glad you had a great trip. I'll be looking for the 2k trip posts. Ride safe brother.FLHX_Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17453169653430889773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2375099128682150921.post-84461848900969050442008-07-04T08:11:00.000-07:002008-07-04T08:11:00.000-07:00Sounds like a great trip!

They just approved (after a long drawn out battle) an offshore wind farm here in Delaware. Personally, I think it will be cool to see all of those windmills off the shore when we go down to the beach! (Besides, I have never understood why we don't invest more in natural energy sources like wind, water, and sun).<BR/>Ride safe!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2375099128682150921.post-33392391450494101172008-06-29T12:12:00.000-07:002008-06-29T12:12:00.000-07:00Thanks for sharing the pics from the other Coast! ...Thanks for sharing the pics from the other Coast! I have only been to Laughlin River Run once and unfortunately is was not on a Bike, but a business trip (sort of). All I can say is that it was HOT out there in the west.

Oh well, we definitely understand, and it's good to hear from you. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you were able to get a nice ride in and make some family brownie points at the same time. Harley rode through the desert a couple summers ago. His memory of it was, when the sun starts to go down, you can go from blazing hot to shivering cold in a matter of minutes! <BR/><BR/>Don't stay gone so long!Lady R (Di)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08253802136989789026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2375099128682150921.post-20148166019612522512008-06-25T08:45:00.000-07:002008-06-25T08:45:00.000-07:00Glad you're back, we missed you!Looks like it was ...Glad you're back, we missed you!<BR/><BR/>Looks like it was a nice trip! Like Joker, I'm originally from Mass, but I now live in Phoenix, and I was VERY surprised to see you wearing chaps! I know how hot it was that weekend! I can't imagine wearing chaps in the summer out here! But I understand why you wore them after reading your comment.<BR/><BR/>Have a fun trip to KC!

Looks like you had a good trip!.<BR/><BR/>I n regards to wearing the chaps in the desert heat, I can "kind of relate to what you are saying. I love to ride without as much hot leather clothing as possible when it gets warm, but when it get's really hot, it just about protects you from the heat, as much as it holds it in. <BR/><BR/>Later Bro!Mr. Motorcyclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00317142329450322815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2375099128682150921.post-40172847215873352862008-06-24T20:08:00.000-07:002008-06-24T20:08:00.000-07:00Hey Joker, Well actually, it started out I was jus...Hey Joker, Well actually, it started out I was just wearing the chaps on this trip to try them out & maybe stretch them a bit, But after this trip I swear, I'll wear them everytime I go out there. I didn't get the vibrato in my jeans that I usually get if I ride long enough . Plus, With my bike, The rear jug Head sits RIGHT next to my inner thigh, and my bike runs hot. I generally start burning my thigh after a half hour or so of riding in warm weather. The Chaps were a perfect kind of pot holder, heat shield... I love them plus, additional leather is additional padding in case I go down...<BR/> It's good to be back. Work's been kicking my tail, but I think it's under control now..

Only thing I can figure is, based on the long shadows in the pics, you were leaving shortly before sundown and it gets cold quick in the desert at night? You'll have to forgive me, us Mass-holes don't know too much about desert riding!<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to more pics from the road. Good to see you back brother.<BR/><BR/>Ride Safe."Joker"https://www.blogger.com/profile/00123102968850707085noreply@blogger.com
