I can see how people may get the wrong idea.....!Wish I would have know about that....could have made it there. It used to be the Koffee Kup Kafe. (see the problem?)
How to open this photobacket?alright, not today but last month:
that would be the second time in the last three years that I've been out there only to find too much water on the salt to do a run, damn it. Still, fun place to visit and well worth the half hour diversion off 80. If there is any grease under your fingernails at all you can feel the history of speed about the place, 'sacred ground.
One of my favourite rides is a loop from Superior AZ to Globe to Winkelman back to Superior, mountains and curves with little traffic. I’ve done it numerous times but today stopped and looked at few things along the way. Here’s an air powered engine, built in 1925 and used to haul miners and ore from the underground Ray copper mine. Compressed air was supplied along the mine shafts to power the engine. Decommissioned in 1955.

Only day rides from where I live, east of Phoenix. Young and Payson... Would love to go further, but my wife usually has other plans.Have you been up north? (in Arizona) Page, Glen Canyon, Marble Canyon, North Rim? I love it there. But, don't go through the Navajo Reservation after dark without A LOT of light.
Say no more.….but my wife usually has other plans.
You forgot the free lunch, thanks to new friends we met up on top! Really unique mountain top town. Bumblebee was on the way.Holligl and I rode out to Crown King, AZ today. Had lunch at the saloon.
I wonder why they’d make it single lane? I snuck past the barrier and rode the whole length from PCH to the Rock Store shortly after the fire (before they dropped the Joisy barriers across) and other than being dirty with debris, sand and a few burned out cars, the road was passable.Mulholland, for a quick 80 mile loop. The snake is still closed. Per one of the workers it will reopen in February. I also heard that it might turn into a single lane. View attachment 63011
To stop riders from doing the same loop like before. They will probably add a few signs and place barriers on one of the lanes.I wonder why they’d make it single lane?
