Dano Posted July 19, 2013 #76 Posted July 19, 2013 Boy it's hot, gonna be 107 in Vegas today.... So not going to ride to Grand Canyon! That means you wouldn't be riding much around Indy either, we were up in the high 90's today!
mini-muffin Posted July 19, 2013 #77 Posted July 19, 2013 Guess it's a good thing you left here already. Oh wait you were in the car then. We've been up in the 90's with the humidity not really pleasant here either. Isn't it that dry heat though? I've heard that isn't as bad. Margaret
Aussie Annie Posted July 19, 2013 Author #78 Posted July 19, 2013 Still cooking inVegas LOL we are going to Circ Du Soleil show tonight called " O"
Condor Posted July 19, 2013 #79 Posted July 19, 2013 Boy it's hot, gonna be 107 in Vegas today.... So not going to ride to Grand Canyon! I remember way back in the late 60's I was in Vegas on business. The morning was fairly warm, but by the afternoon it hit 114degs in the shade. My biz car was dark green with a black interior. I couldn't even touch the steering wheel and the AC was not keeping up. So.... I drove down the strip and when I went passed the Circus Circus I saw these huge AC units around back. Went in and sat down at a Black Jack table with $5 bucks, and played for the next six hours. I was all over the place. up a $100, down to $1, and back up again. The free drink waitress probably did better than I did.. The sun finally went down so decided to head back to the barn. Got up from the table and went over and cashed in my $5 chip.....
Aussie Annie Posted July 20, 2013 Author #80 Posted July 20, 2013 Left Vegas this morning, and now in St George,UT We are going to the Tuacahn Theatre tonight to see Thoroughly Modern Millie. Then we are back in SLC for a couple of days before leaving for Galena.

Aussie Annie Posted July 26, 2013 Author #85 Posted July 26, 2013 We left Salt Lake City this morning at 6 and headed into the mountains. Was really cold up there. Dipstick me took an hour and a half to remember she had heated grips fitted in Portland! Good run today, in cooler weather. Arrived in Laramie, WY at 2.20 PM This is our stop for the night
mini-muffin Posted July 27, 2013 #86 Posted July 27, 2013 That's ok Annie we still love ya. :crackup: Jeff wanted to know if you wore the boot rain covers since they'll keep your feet warm too. Margaret
Aussie Annie Posted July 28, 2013 Author #87 Posted July 28, 2013 What a day!! Left Laramie at 6.30am and 20 minutes later hit the worst fog for a long time. A real pea souper and low, so we couldn't see too far in front of us. Stop and put wet weather jackets on ...... Real cold too. Stays like this for hours. Then just short of North Platte I lose cruise control. Talk to AL on intercom, and he tells me I have no rear lights. Pull on brakes, no lights, and none for indicators either. Pull into side of gas station and Alan starts checking things in fuse box and wiring under seat. Keep blowing the brake fuse every time he tries something. Decide to leave it and go to H D dealer. I head into the restroom and when I return to the trike AL asks if I have another fuse. He has an idea he thinks he knows what is the problem. Hey Presto! All good.. Everything works. The problem-- the trailer connection had dropped down and wires touching hitch and shorting things out. Glad my man has so much knowledge, and that he is my mechanic Finally got to Lincoln, NE around 6pm. Final leg to Galena tomorrow Oops, forgot....when we pulled up at gas station Alan found that the rough roads had cost me my parade fans! One whole side gone. That's the fan, and two horn bracket repairs to U.S. roads
Aussie Annie Posted July 28, 2013 Author #88 Posted July 28, 2013 Having breakfast in Council Bluff, Iowa....Yah, last state to cross
Snaggletooth Posted July 28, 2013 #90 Posted July 28, 2013 Ahhh drat! So close. From my Droid where I happen to be at the moment.
Phoneman1981 Posted July 28, 2013 #91 Posted July 28, 2013 We passed right by the super 8 in Laramie. I only wished I would have seen their recognizable bikes. I would have surprised them.

Aussie Annie Posted August 5, 2013 Author #98 Posted August 5, 2013 Bob, we just followed B2dad We are at their house in Dresden enjoying some time in this area. Taking the opportunity to get trike serviced and Quickstep tinkering with the 1st Gen. Will be going to Vogel with them and some other riders.
spear Posted August 5, 2013 #99 Posted August 5, 2013 Thanks for the updates Annie and Al. Enjoy your weather whilst you can. Still cold here.
Aussie Annie Posted August 7, 2013 Author #100 Posted August 7, 2013 While AL went off with B2dad to Hannigan Trikes, I rode to Paducah, KY to have the trike serviced at Four Rivers H D. Got caught in a heavy storm...... Got nice and wet trying to scramble into the wet weather gear on the side of the road!! Glad I went to H-D as I needed new brake pads apparently. AL getting tires fitted to his bike tomorrow (thanks utadventure for shipping them to him) Got storms here the next few days, so no riding
