No Thru Road, and more…

I bought a copy of Clement Salvadori’s latest moto book, No Thru Road, and it’s a great read. I’m about a third of the way into now an I am enjoying every page. Clement Salvadori is one of my favorite writers.

Well, all right, Clement Salvadori is my absolute favorite writer.  I was happy to learn that he had a new book available and I bought a copy as soon as I heard about it.   My advice?  You should pick up a copy, and you can do so here.

That book you see in the background, Motorcycle Rides Through Baja, is another Salvadori classic. I’ve practically got the thing memorized, and you’ve read about it before here on the CSC blog.   It guided much of my travel through Baja, and speaking of which, I’m getting the urge to go down there again.   If any of you are thinking the same way, let me know.

5000 Miles at 8000 RPM continues to progress well.  I’m also about a third of the way into that one, and like I said before, the book is writing itself.   I’m reliving the Western America Adventure Ride as I write it, and that’s a good thing.  I’ll probably use this shot as the cover photo…

I’m bringing my KLR to the plant this afternoon if I can get it to start.  I haven’t put even 25 miles on the Kawasaki this year, so I’m going to let Gerry clean the carb, do the valves, replace all the fluids, and do whatever else he tells me is necessary.  I’ll probably keep it, but there’s really no need to now that I have the RX3.  Still, I like to keep my toys in tip top shape, and there’s no one who can do that better than our very own Gerry Edwards.

Dual sports and donuts, folks!  I’m looking forward to this Saturday, a free donut, a good cup of coffee, a ride on my RX3 to the plant, and maybe seeing you there!
