Subject: Punky & Lew ride to Tucson

Hi List: We rode from Escondido, CA, about 450 miles on I-8, through the Sonoran Desert, El Centro and Yuma, to Tucson in about 9 hours. We stopped 4-5 times to stretch, take a pee, get a drink, fuel, etc. The temp for the first 2/3rds of the trip was around 102-110. My Brosh Tex riding suit made the temps tolerable. Punky got kinda hot, mouth open panting heavily, and I stopped, periodically, to wet him down and give him a drink. The last 3rd of the trip got cloudier, which dropped the temp into the 90's. We went 80 mph most of the way. Upon our arrival at Lane's beautiful desert home in Tucson, Lane supplied Punky and I with a big cup of ice water, cold beer (not for Punky), dinner and a dip in his pool. Critter still takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin' better than ever. It is now well broke in and adjusted. I rode WFO on a flat stretch and found we could do an even 100 indicated mph. Astounding, for this loaded machine. Rich Kickbush, I received the package with the visors at George's place in Escondido. Thanks for sending them. Lane Tassin, our host here in Tucson, says Steve Anderson, of Phoenix and Richard Ohnstad, of Tuscon, will come and visit Monday and help celebrate my 64th birthday. We'll ride to some of Lane's favorite local dirt/paved road areas. Plan to depart Tuesday for Mexico. Later.
