Not sure if this will work or not, but my slideshow from last summers trip to Utah.Jay, now thats the stuff I want to see, both pics are amazing. I am in the middle of a new thread for my route but its gonna need some editing as I would be missing Valley of the Gods when heading west on 95 but it looks like we can hit it on the way back after the South side of the Grand Canyon.On a side topic, I went to Grand Prix Motorsports to look at a VTX for my buddy and dirt bikes for myself and they have guns and hunting gear upstairs, I was totally in my element :o)--On Wed, Dec 10, 2014 at 7:13 PM, Jay Clawson <jayclawson@att.net> wrote:Regarding Dan's comments on Utah. I did this very trip (reverse direction) coming back from California and Death Valley last May. A fantastic ride with almost no traffic. Also, from Natural Bridges south on 261 is a spectacular overlook of the Valley of the Gods and a twisty mile-long descent down a narrow road (see attached photo) to the canyon floor. Mexican Hat is a small town at the south end of 261, and from there it's a short drive to Monument Valley and the famous Mitten buttes panoramic overlook inside the Navajo Nations Park (see second attached photo). Well worth visiting, especially at dawn or dusk.

Agree with this suggestion. Did this last summer and you won't regret it. Beautiful ride.

If you have the time, you might consider going south from Moab on US 191 to just south of Blanding and then west on UT 95. You can then head up to Hanksville on UT 95 past Natural Bridges National Monument. Great scenery, curves, red rocks and Lake Powell to cross. I rode this in 2007. The faster, easy and more boring way to Hanksville is on I-70 via Green River and then south on UT 24 to Hanksville.
In any event, Capitol Reef National Park is a hidden gem amongst the better known National Parks of Utah. Torrey, the little town on the west side of Capitol Reef National Park, is a great place to stay overnight with a number of motels, restaurants, etc.
The real treat comes when you ride Utah 12 south from Torrey over Boulder Mountain and then across the Escalante River drainage to the town of Escalante. This is one of the world's great motorcycle rides, and you will encounter lots of bikes on this road. Headed to St. George UT, you also can check out both Bryce and Zion National Parks.

Subject: [emrat:5989] Roadtrip. GPS/Intercom questions
So my British biker buddy is flying over next April 28th and we have 8 full days to go on a road trip. He rides a Vulcan 1700 back home but it seems he is limited to renting an Indian or HD if we can't find him a bike to buy before then but that will be another subject in a month or two. Our road trip will be taking I-70 West to Fruita or Moab, check out Arches & Canyonlands the next day, down to Zion or which ever is the better park. Ive never been to Vegas so a couple of days there, Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, back into Colorado and maybe Ouray or similar on the way home.I will start a thread for the at a later date also :0)
For this post tho, I am interested in portable GPS units (i had a Garmin Nuvi years ago until somebody nicked it out my car) and the bike to bike intercom systems. Its seems theres a huge price difference for these gps units, like $200 to $800 and while I would prefer the cheaper one, I was wondering what features are really needed for using on a motorbike? Same goes for the intercoms, obviously I don't want to cheap out here coz I am reading that the better ones like the Sena 20S have up to a mile and a half range which I had no idea was even possible, plus they can integrate with your phone and gps etc. So I've got loads of reading up to do but if any of you guys have any suggestions/recommendations then I would love to hear them?
Cheers,
Limey.
