Now at the Overland Expo in Flagstaff.
Arrived yesterday and parked up then notice that the repair to the tyre was not looking good to say the least. See photo.
So this morning to arrived at GoAz Motorcycles on Flagstaff early as the brake pads had arrived. They had a tyre in stock that would fit my bike (Dunlop Trailax). They were kind enough to fit me in to their schedule. While I was there, I looked at the state of my Altberg boots (see photo) and manage to buy a pair of cheapish boots to fit me, without being the heavy "off road type". Sad but bye bye Altbergs - I must have had them for over 12 years.
Have met up with Mark Ordway and Carolyn Slete and Jason and Lisa. We went to the Bikers Party last night but the wind made it very cold - tonight is meant to be colder and maybe rain over night.
It's about 8 o'clock and I am in my tent trying to keep warm.
So tyre replaced, new brake pads, oil change and new boots - all ready for Mondays ride over the old Route 66 to Seligman and Oatman and overnight at Needles.
