Did the first leg of the home coming trip to bring my new cruiser bike back. Started in Las Vegas early this morning and then made it up to Moab, Utah. The problem was, however, that there was a storm...which had just dumped snow in Zion National Park...and hail south of Moab...and was the storm we had to punch through. Because it's now or never to bring the bike back.
Unfortunately the shoddy rain poncho/gear I bought was torn to shreds by cross winds and the ole Captain got drenched and a tad bit hypothermic, but it did provide for some great post-storm pictures (though Monument Valley was "rained out")
Remember everybody,
buy ALL of my books so when I get home I can retire.

Great photos. Enjoying them from my cubicle 7:15 AM.
Get better riding gear.
Gear rules. Good gear keeps you dry, and prevents serious road rash.
Cap,
Camera/lens combo are you using? Some of the wide shots are quite stunning.
lol love the battle damage rain gear
jealous and the best natural scenery i have seen in the past month are the squirrels outside my house. man, i gotta get over this work and saving like this country has a future where the govt isnt going to take everything the savers have to stay afloat and go out and see some mountain ranges.
I have been caught in many storms but don't get wet while moving....riding my GL1800 Goldwing with a custom windshield and air wings to deflect air & water over and around. Yes it's a beast but amazing to stay dry while riding. Observers are stunned to see dry rider in the middle of a downpour.
Caq go onto Revzilla and get your self a new rain suit...jesus.
Ah mate! If it weren't for those plateaus in the back ground it would almost look as if you were standing on the side of some Australian highways.
