Warmer weather is upon us(new photos here-slideshow)

Check out the ADV Rider link to the right (in red).
Today was a great day of riding: good weather, good roads, very little traffic and very few cops. And not a deer in sight!!

The bike was serviced today after a slight detour to Boise, Idaho. Big Twin BMW got us in right away, and we were back on the road in about 2 hours: new final drive oil and engine oil (all synthetic). Now we need a new front tire before crossing into Mexico.

My brother, Mike, and I had an easier time lining up the splines than this guy did.

This Metzler Tourance should do the trick for a while. I figured that the old tire had another 1000 km in it, but Conchita wasn't ready to test my theory.

Don't panic!! This isn't our bike. I guess this guy was doing some serious off-roading, and overheated the clutch which caught on fire and melted the wiring harness. Note to self: do not overheat the clutch!

Tonight we are staying in a town called Winnemucca, 156 miles northeast of Reno, Nevada.
