Outstanding. Toss the stock shock and buy a Wilbers. You'll love it.

Thanks

My motto is, as a rule, if a trip report starts off with a photo of the equipment - one should read it. And your report proves me right. Outstanding.

During my cross country trip last summer (report can be found under `Team Two Turks`) I passed through many of the places you did and wish I could do it again. Regarding the desecration of the Twin Rocks at Bluff....I could not agree more. That was the only truly ugly thing I saw in almost 4000 miles of riding from DC to San Francisco.

Great trip report, I recently got my wife/daughter a new red 650 like yours, they are impressed that the little bike can do all that!

Great ride report and beautiful pictures. You were in so many of my old haunts. Did anyone tell you of the Marfa Lights while you were in the area?

Fantastic! I was in and out of Monument Valley last year on my Adventure, and this year my wife and I are going back on our RT. I had been thinking I might not be ready to go back so soon, but seeing your report has re-inspired me to return.

Thanks, and well done!

Did some of the same rides in April.........

Stopped in Mexican Hat on our way back home.

Was the old black cow dog with all the puppies cruising around when You were there?? Bought her a ham sandwich at the gas station and thought she was going to follow me home to MT. Life is tough on the Reservations when your a dog.

Thanks for taking the time to post a CLASSIC ride report.
