      Maybe you should contact NASA and see if you could get one of those suits they used to walk on the moon!

      That would eliminate the helmet leakage problem and you wouldn't have to stop at rest areas to use the bathrooms. ( It's built in )

      Seriously, you said your going to AZ.?

      You might want to head south first and take a route down closer to the border where it'll be warmer. You'll probably not need all those clothes all the way.

      Longer?- probably

      More comfortable?- most likely

      Be extremely careful bro'.

        Yeah, headed south first. Hopefully I won't have to go so far as to need to learn Spanish. I've been checking, and they've been getting quite a bit of snow around the route I am taking... even through Carlsbad. It shows it's getting in the 20's in the evenings and 50s during the day, but I imagine mornings will still be a bit nippy for several hours.

        But yeah, the closer I get to where I'm going in AZ, it's showing high 60s and low 70s.

          Remember what Bobs signature says: "I used to have me a Maximum... rode it to Mexico... Don't ever ride a Maximum to Mexico, boy."

          Yea, I left Billings Mt. one Dec. headed for Pheonix in a "can't see 10 feet ahead" blizzard. A day and a half later I was seeing oranges on the trees in Pheonix.

              Well, with the "mits" on, no one would see the hand gestures, but it still gives the rider some measure of satisfaction...
