In Salt Lake City

Hi all,

Jeff and I are near Salt Lake City. It is 41 F degrees this morning but supposed to reach a nice temp later. Unfortunately we are leaving this area into Seattle where it is supposed to snow, IN THE CITY! This is simply insane! I realize now that Jeff and I left too early but it was just the way it had to be because of timing of everything. Anyway, we should have a nice day today though. Hopefully, the forecast is wrong for Seattle.

Yesterday through Wyoming was cold, but beautiful. I just love it there. Wednesday was incredibly windy all through Iowa and we got battered around.

Jeff has a cold and feeling kind of poopy. So yesterday he turned over the driving to me. I was a bit surprised but willing. We both realized that it is much more difficult to ride as a passenger! I think all men who ride with a passenger should be a passenger once in a while or at least once because it IS much harder. The wind is stronger the weather is harder and you can't move much at all. Anyway, After 100 miles, Jeff was ready to rent a truck and put the bike in the back because he couldn't believe how horrible it was in the back. I knew it was difficult but after being in the front not freezing my butt off I realize it is nicer to be the driver.

Needless to say I am excited to get my bike on Saturday! It is all ready to go and has been getting some TLC at Ride West BMW this week.

Another comment I have is that however comfortable the RT is, It is so big. I am getting used to it but I think it is a bit big for my liking. I will stick with the S and the Rockster. :-)
