Thanks for this! I can't tell you how many times I've driven this route over the years; living in Phoenix and having relatives in Cortez and other places in Colorado. I've always driven the route but have never ridden a motorcycle on any trips. I retired in 2020 right when COVID started and bought my first motorcycle in December of that year. A Honda Africa Twin. Nice bike but eventually wanted something different. So I sold my Africa Twin this last February, and purchased a 2024 R1250 RT. I now understand why so many police use this bike. Handles really well, but is so smooth and plenty of power. I just love riding it. Perhaps it's time to take this route again, haha. BTW, how many hours did this take you?
Yes Sir it is a great time to make the ride to Cortez. You certainly have a great bike to make the adventure on. The bigger bikes make the trip more comfortable. I just went back to a vstrom1050.
Thanks VW !!!! Great video.... too many fires !!!!!
Crazy day for sure OBI-WAN, first of October and smoking hot. Thank you, brother, for everything.
Open road, beautiful scenery.
Thank you DW, it was such a great trip, one of my favorite rides ever.

@@Motoramblings Glad you came along, poor Tenere T700 missed the action this year. But was a beast on the entire ride.

So weird to see so little green… 4:17
@@Motoramblings It has been a wickedly dry year … again. Flagstaff should have been a green paradise but it was bone dry.
Thanks for watching Patrick

Nice, hope this was the first leg of a fun trip.
@@AzMtnThumper First leg was a familiarization ride after coming off 3 weeks of touring on a Vstrom 650. Both good bikes.
😎 I enjoyed this!
