GPS Accuracy

You just gotta appreciate the accuracy of a GPS. Here is a picture of
the trip computer after my ride to Moab.

Check out that maximum speed!

Once I get all the pictures downloaded and sorted I'll post a few of
them.

For a down and dirty summary, it was a terrific ride. Great scenery,
fantastic riding roads and best of all outstanding company.

Yellowstone was everything it is cracked up to be. Incredible
waterfalls, tons of hot springs, the gentle fragrance of sulphur and
of course Old Faithful.

Now you expect to see a fair bit of wildlife in the park, but what I
wasn't expecting was to round a corner and find my riding buds and I
staring eyeball to eyeball with a mangy old Bison standing in the
middle of the road, not 20 meters in front of us.

He had that "I am the Alpha Male, this is my road and I don't like
motorcycles" look in his eyes.

I rolled my bike backwards a length or two to let Francis and Colleen
(riding buds) know that trying to pass by this beast on a narrow road
is probably not a good idea.

Well the mangy beast slowly started to walk towards us. He closed the
gap from 20 meters to less than five. I am looking at the narrow road
wondering if I can do a full lock turn and beat feet out of there.

Just about that time the Bison began to move off to the right leaving
enough room to pass him on the left, which we did. The drivers of the
cars stopped on the other side of the road were all busting a gut
laughing. Hell, by the time I was passing them I was too.

Anyway, more on the ride later, once I get the pictures sorted.

Calgary shares a great ride tale:

I guess you mean the Drivers were laughing out loud at
you guys, sitting there on a motorcycle, eye ball to eye ball to a 1500
lb Buffalo.

You know it is more than possible that the Big Beast could've charged.
He probably didnt like the sound of the Bikes, maybe.

Calgary, that was such an entertaining, well written piece. I enjoyed it
immensley, so much, that I sent it to a few friends, thanks for
reporting. >/)
