Harley Ride 2010 - Day 5

Today's ride was 600kms from Flagstaff to Lake Havasu City.

The start was amazing, Flagstaff to Sedona is a winding road in lush forest with red rock back drop as you approach Sedona. It was a fantastic way to start the day.

From Sedona the route was to Prescott, my favorite city in Arizona. Last year when we rolled into Prescott it was just one of those places that left a great impression and still does. The higher elevation keeps the temperatures moderate as far as Arizona goes and the Pine forest gives it a B.C. feel, with great pine smells.

From Prescott the roads were winding and we climbed up and down twice and then we finally hit the desert floor where the winds were HOT and the land desolate. Some excitement today when Mike's bike was dead and wouldn't start after we stopped. Of course we were somewhat in the middle of no where and it was friggen hot to be working around the engine. After some trouble shooting, found that the ground connection on the battery was loose and so was shorting out. This was probably some of what we experienced yesterday with the problems we saw with the Dyna after visiting the grand canyon.

Spending the night in Lake Havasu city and plan on sight seeing, including the London Bridge. Enjoy the pictures:
