If you can't fix it with a hammer or duct tape you have an electrical problem.

how's Jess?

I am home too. Got in a bit late due to construction on 87. It went down to one lane and I hit it prime time. (After 4pm on a Sunday). It was a good hour delay. And as soon as I got home the storm I had been sitting in on 87 hit Mesa. There is an irony that I unloaded the Jeep in the rain with temps in the 70's back here in AZ. Got we but it beats the heat!

I had a great time. I am sorry I missed some of you leaving. I hope you can all make it again next year.

I made a left turn at Ridgway and then south for a few days before turning back north through Grand Junction then into the abyss up to Wyoming and eventually into Montana today. Staying here for a few days for the races then possibly heading back home to KY or not Sunday.

Races are over and the passes went to a local couple who will use them for one of the other events this year at the club grounds. Packed up and hitting the road for KY in the morning. Billings, MT was an absolute blast this year. Looking forward to next year already. They said they would send me more free tickets next year. Billings Motorcycle Club ROCKS!!!!!!!!! It'll take me a month to download all the pics and videos. The memories will last a life time, both good and bad ones. :( :)

Well, the 2017 Ouray trip is officially over. I swapped the 64 jets back in on Saturday and went on a local trail ride Sunday. Most of the Ouray dirt is washed off the truck. Kind of bumming but looking forward to next year.
