  • My first ride up the incredible mountain rode to Mt. Graham in Safford AZ. The last 12 miles was closed due to road conditions, but I will be back when it warms up to finish the adventure.

    Beautiful scenery, the best part is it looks like you had the road all to yourself. Going to watch again, I would like to see that bobcat. Take it easy Widget.

      Thank You DW, I think if I was a bit earlier there would have been more traffic, but it was a Wednesday too. I really had to zoom in too see that bobcat with the editing tools, he blended in perfectly as he should. Still it was neat to finally see one.

      Thanks DOC650, it was nice to getaway to a new place. I’ll head back when it gets warmer, good to shake down the Vstrom

    It's going to be a few months until I can take a long ride but I really do need to get to the Arizona mountain back roads. I've really only driven the main roads through Flagstaff, Sedona, Prescott etc. in a truck. Your V-STROM is making it look really sweet. There are some good deals on a new 650s right now. Hmmm.

      The Vstrom 650 is a good bike. I enjoy it for rides like this where I spend the day in the saddle. AZ I feel has as much to offer as any other.
