For us moon gazers

Three things will be going on with the moon the night of 27th.
First, the moon will be at it's perigee (closes pass to the earth in it's elliptical orbit) in 30 years.
Then there will be a lunar eclipse the same night into the morning.
The third is the moon will pass through the earth’s shadow at just the right angle to produce a red hew known as a Blood Moon.
The combination of these events is known as a Superbloodmoon Lunar Eclipse.
Much of our view will be low in the eastern sky.
Folks out west will miss it, sorry, I did my best to include you but I have limited influance.

I put this rally on XS650.com. I think this one is going to fit right in!

I thought this might be fun. Looks like I will make the XS East Rally this coming weekend and the cat will be out of the bag then...so what the heck.

You might be a redneck if.........


Your hard bags are actually a pair of Coleman's cheapest coolers!

These started out as a joke.....6 years ago. Since then they have been mounted on three different bikes, traveled through 7 states and this will be their 10th camp out. I do take them off once I get set up.....and actually use them as coolers!!!

Okay.....yes, I have to much times on my hands this morning.

Hope all of you on this side of the world are enjoying what's left of the summer.

Now that was funny Jeff

[MPittma100]

What?

So what happened??

I show up at the Iron Horse @ 07:30 all gassed up and ready.
Nobody Showed up. I expected to see 20+ XS11's and 30+ other bikes.
Waited a couple hours then took off.



Finally realizing my mistake, now I'm on a mad dash to make it to the 'other' Iron Horse.

It's hell to get old! LOL

Ahh. Navy Blue. I was thinking they were the Royal Blue. Both good colors, so we look stylish either way.

[jetmechmarty]

I have the shirts!

If you're going on the group ride on Saturday........

arrive at the Iron Horse with a full tank of gasoline!

If you have to do it in the morning, the closest fuel is ten miles round trip.

Phil, CONGRATS on that new machine. Just AWESOME.

Good to give Addie a break on those LD runs. Plus buys some time to sort things out on Addie. (Riding it from Atlanta to Peace Bridge a few years ago was a blast, even with the carb troubles back then). I'm looking forward to seeing you at XS SE since we missed last month.

I'm already On My Way to XS SE. BUT, since it took me 2,646 miles to get to Hurricane Utah, it will likely take me about that getting home. Well, maybe minus a few curves.

I did have lunch with Motoman & Motowoman last Sunday. Stewart joined us to since he was riding westbound with me. Seeing Brant & Anita was real real great.

Riding yesterday through Zion Park
(After big storm the day before washed piles of SAND all over the road)


Took an AM ride in Colorado National Monument before meeting up with Motoman & Motowoman
(That sure made Mr Grumpy smile)


Well, its time to start riding EAST. Planning Zion, Bryce, Grand Staircase to Hanksville UT today. Then Canyonlands & Mesa Verde to Mancos CO the following night. Rode most of that going west but its so great a ride it needs a re-do going east.

Plan to be in ATL on 23rd then get ready to ride up to Iron Horse with the Atlanta contingent on 25th. SAFE TRAVELS to everyone going the XS SE. Watch for the crazy's.

Jeff

Hi Jeff,
hat looks like a great ride. Keep posting pictures
See you at the Iron Horse. Ride Safe.

[XJOK2PLAY]

Awesome, Jeff!

You're riding my favorite annual ride! Love that area.

Nice Wing! Can't beat one of those for a LD tour.

Good you got to see Brant & Anita.

Ride safe, and have a great rally.

Thanks for all the positive feed back. While looking forward to my new ride I have not abandoned all hope of getting Addie to back together.
See you all soon at XSSE.
Phil
