    Great photos Charlie, looks like a great area for a ride, although I suspect it gets a bit toasty in the summer. And FWIW, I'm still having trouble getting used to you riding the big 6 cylinder GT.

      Yes, Blue Mesa Reservoir, Rob...

        Yes, it gets a bit toasty at the lower elevations during summer, Craig... that's when the "valley people" invade the mountain towns... it's generally 20 degrees cooler up here!! And the K16GT... yeah, unless you spend some time on one, it's difficult to imagine how uncannily nimble and quick this big bike is, and the long-distance comfort is unmatched!!

            I love the bike, Doug... yeah, it's big and heavy, but above walking speed the weight seems to disappear.... turning and handling is amazing, belying its size. I'm at a point in my riding career where I'm doing as much long-distance touring as possible, and comfort is king. I did the Bren Tuning to the bike, and it lifts the front wheel easily with WOT, and the sound of the six cylinders at 8K RPM is music...
