I sure wish I had the Blackhawk with me in Texas right now. It's beautiful down here! It's hot, but not crazy cook you death Arizona desert hot. It's humid, but not ridiculous Midwest Great Lakes Humid. Mom has central air in the house, but I find myself sitting on the patio quite often just enjoying the Gulf breeze watching the palm trees blow in the wind. My point is, I think I am going to try and make a trip and ride down sometime in the not too distant future. Maybe I can plan a trip where I can ride the bike and have my wife drive in the car. That way I still get my adventure on, but will still have tools and parts available for the inevitable break down. 1175 miles each way/17 hours, so totally doable in 2 days, possibly 3. Or maybe I'll just buy a trailer and trailer the bike down here and just ride once I get here. I really want to ride my bike down the beach on Padre Island, like roll onto the beach at Beach #1 and just start riding until I run out of real estate or find sand that is too soft to ride. Either way, I think that would make for an epic afternoon.
