It looks like you had fun setting up that various scenarios in the first video. And even on the big bike, you got a little air in the last one. Yee haw!
I wasn't exactly out your way this past week, but I did pay a visit to the Mojave NPres on Wednesday. Approaching the AZ/CA state line, I saw a sign indicating it was about 250 miles to LA. Had I had a bit more flexibility in my schedule, I'd have been tempted to just go there. As it was, I needed to turn around and return to Holbrook, AZ...and it was 385 miles from the Kelso Station in the Mojave. At a toasty 109 degrees in Needles, CA, I wanted to go wherever it was cool.
