Posted by: @miles-ladueYou guys enjoy your drinks, whilst I try to cool down a bit. Was 102* ambient air temperature for the last two hours of riding. 615 miles today, which on this 11 day trip, this is my longest mileage day.

Maybe it just takes us a moment to catch up?
Soooooooo? It's still unusually warm in your neck of the country? I DO ENTIRELY feel your pain regarding the heat. Above 95 there just isn't anything left but to push through. Oh, and the bag of ice melting inside your jacket can make for an ... interesting reception at your destination motel. Just didn't care at that point whether I had half a bag of ice melted into my lap.

Posted by: @calvin-watsonPosted by: @miles-ladueCan not LIKE the post above, where the Caretaker of Sidecar Willie is whining that he stubbed his toe.
Calvin, that is the great thing about sidecars....you don't have to put a foot down to balance it. You sit in the sidecar, bum foot elevated, and Sidecar Willie can operate the bike, and bring your bum foot to the rally.
Ya. I think it's just a stubbed toe and nothing to "whine" about.

Calvin, I strongly suggest that you get to Urgent Care, as that photo appears to show a dislocated ankle.
Edit: On careful examination, that must be a stock photo of someone else, already in an exam room, with a broken ankle.
You said that you hurt your shifting foot, which is the left foot, but the photo shows a right foot broken ankle.

Ya. I just wanted to give you a humorous shock for calling me a whine baby,,,,lol.
BTW. Good eye on catching the wrong foot. I tried finding a really bad looking broken ankle for shock value. That's the best I could come up with. Eerr. I mean my shift lever is on the right side,,,lol.
And I might as well teach Willie to drive the bike. He all ready drives me around in the F-150.

Ouch! I'd be at the clinic, chatting up the nurses over that!
I did a wrist like that decades back, racing MX. Nurse was an absolute sweetheart. Doctor was an absolute sadist. lol
What ever you do, don't tell them it was motorcycle related. You were packing up camping gear to support a convention of orphans through the local convent.

BTW, tomorrow I have to go through SH*T.......that is the state East of Nevada, West of Colorado, South of Idaho, and North of Arizona. It's known as SH*T, because of the famous sidecar adventurer that lives there. So.....Scott Heath Immersion Territory. Whether its the heat of Summer, or the snow of Winter, when you are in SH*T, you are totally immersed in IT.
Get it ?
Scott
Heath
Immersion
Territory

It's a dry heat, so it doesn't count. 🤣
But I do like your acronym. 😎

Did you see the part where I said it really wasn't my foot,,,lol.

Made it to Delta, Colorado, now only 20 miles from Dana's house in Hotchkiss. Will hook up with him tomorrow morning.
Today was a 570 miles ride, and not as hot.

We only have easy, short days to the rally now.

Meeting up with Miles in a few hours and then we are on the road to Kansas, I have room in the sidecar for Toto but Dorothy is going to have to find another ride. Maybe she can hitch a ride with a flying monkey somewhere.
See you all at the rally.

Have a great ride! 😎

Posted by: @scott-hHave a great ride! 😎
Scott, in case you can make it, I have an extra queen bed available in my room at the Best Western Inn, in Scott City, Kansas, for tomorrow night, Wednesday night..
Tomorrow morning Dana @DirtyDR, and John @spat, and I will be leaving from the Golden, Colorado area, and riding to Scott City.....a small town in Kansas named after you, Scott Heath.
So, if you can make it, just ask the front desk to call me, and NO CHARGE for the spare queen bed.
