    Very nice 👍. You got the anniversary model and you’re using it.
     
    I love riding through the desert. Where I’m from we have loads of trees, the desert is beautiful. Especially southern Utah.

    Utah was a revelation. Can't wait to go back. The 191 from Vernal to Rock Springs WY was one of the rides of my life.

    I entered Utah at Moab then headed to Bryce and Zion. I took rts 24 to 12 to 89 to 9 or thereabouts. I was stunned at the beauty. It took a few days and I had some hiking to do but I never wanted to leave southern Utah. I had the roads to myself, too.

    Just pm me when the time comes. I’ll give you greater detail.
    I stopped at this place for a cup of coffee. I believe it’s on Rt 12. It’s in the middle of nowhere. Just me and the owner. It was the nicest coffee house I’ve ever been in. Highly recommend.

    That’s awesome! I heard Utah has some awesome off road too for dirt bikes. I’d love to load up the Z and dirt bike and head that way hopefully one of these days. Congrats!

    Would love to learn to ride a dirt bike. No garage room at the moment but someday!
