White Line Adventures

Little did we know the price we were about to pay for our admission in to God's light and color spectacular... The thunder and lightning intensified and the winds began to pick up, it wasn't long before the rain began to come down. The problem that we were having was not in making the decision to push on or not, at this point we had no choice. We were near the Northern edge of Monument Valley, to far north to turn back and not far enough to be close to shelter for the night. It's nearing 8:00...Read Full Story

It's 12:30, just a little later than the 8:00 am departure that we were hoping for but on the positive side, by the time we were done subtracting mileage for our backtracking, we were still 30 miles closer.

We rolled to the far north side of the valley (Phoenix metro area), 50 miles or so from our starting point.

Let's start with the bag itself. This is key to a successful and enjoyable journey. As you can see from the picture on the left side of your screen it doesn't look that bad. In fact, my wife rather enjoyed her padded back rest while we were on the road. The additional weight hanging off the back of the bike can throw off the geometry of the bike (your balance) so you have to use some caution and make sure that the packs are secured tightly and the weight is balanced (saddle bags & T-Bag).
