Hot day, cool ride

The day was hot and sweaty… we had an Outlaw Trail Caste Party in town so I rode in. Taking it nice and easy. There was a weather front that moved in and cooled things down. My new Joe Rocket Mesh jacket really felt good, flowing a lot of air through it. A little bit of rain splashed me… Oh man… No other feeling like it.
Grilled burgers in the park was awesome.

Unfortunately the ride home had me accompanied by a Law Enforcement escort almost the entire way. From Naples to Vernal, UHP. Then VCPD through to where I gassed up at Morts. After gassing up, another VCPD picked me up. He peeled off and I thought I was in the clear, but stayed chill. Up ahead, UCSD was on location in one of their new rigs sitting there watching the Round About. I didn’t speed through it, but I didn’t slow down for it. Gave the Deputy a wave as I memorized the rig. Turned by the Maeser Sev, and another UHP picked me up and followed me most of the way home. WTF is going on? I checked into it and there was nothing going down about me… just epic level chronic bad luck for a guy wanting to twist his wrist.

  1. I have had that going up the switchbacks last season. VERY frustrating. We need to try Miller sometime.

  2. Not bad luck.

    Sport bikes draw traffic cops.

    In other jurisdictions, they would call ahead to the next jurisdiction to set up a speed trap.

    Apparently in Utah, the police want to MAKE you behave.

    1. One would think that. No, Motorcycles are pretty much invisible. The only Sport Bikes that attract LEO attention really are the Squids… the kids on the Sport Bikes with no helmet or other gear just waiting for a girl to look at them so they can pop a wheelie.
