“Saddlesore”

Deacon goes horseback riding...or, is the horse the disguise?

Saddlesore Scorpion from The Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa for my brother.

My #bestnine2018 favors my #ironbutt #saddlesore ride which I completed in January of this year (#2018). It was a great personal year of riding and touring #Washington, #Oregon, #California, #Utah, #Colorado, #Louisiana, #Mississippi, #Alabama, #Georgia, #Virginia, #Tennessee, #NorthCarolina, #SouthCarolina and lastly my home State of #Florida. I road with great #friends but no one supports me like my girl - @lauragfoto 😘😍#makelifearide #bmwbikes #bmw #bmwmotorrad #r1200gsa #adventure #travel #motorcycle #biker #wanderlust #helluvayear (at Huinca Renancó, Cordoba, Argentina) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsCTOsCnM62/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j9oifcu7bfnu

So I missed a few days due to life happening but who does that not happen to. So July 14-17 2017... Following more routes suggested by my hos ton the 13th I found some nice twists continuing my trip into Montana. I saw many people wind sufing along the river and hopefully someday I can do that too. I made my way up through the complete cell dead zone in Idaho before the mountain range. It was very very hot and while I should have teste dout using evaporative coolin while in California this is where I gave it my first try, it works wonders and all I need to do to get more water for the t-shirt was to hop off the bike and soak it in the river next ot the road! just a little bit before I got to my host for this night I just barely missed a nasty tunderstorm that I could hear and just a few raindrops fell, somehow this was also th eonly rain I experienced for the whole trip. When I got to my host we chatted about bikes and plans and then he and his wife made some pizzas from scratch and his dough was already free of animals so all he had to do for me was not put cheese on one! It was an amazing pizza and totally unexpected. The next morning they both became my witnesses for the beginning of my saddlesore 1000 which I have yet to actually submit for the award. while not exactly something i should have been doing since I was now on the clock I picked up some more bread and pb/jelly from a local store. Doing the 1000 miles in 24 hours was not fun as it was way faster than I wanted ot go but luckly the speed limit was 80 and 75mph in MT and ND but I had a crosswind the whole way which even caused a wear mark on the tire. I stopepd for a shower at a motel 6 before continiuing to MN where I finished the saddlesore and got some bikers to signed the offical end. I also found a really random bathroom sign that I liked. #saddlesore #saddlesroe1000 #bikelife #crosscountryroadtrip (at Old Spiral Highway)
