First ride on new bike
This morning Toophun and I took a ride up to Globe, AZ. We stopped along the way for breakfast at Buckboard City in Superior. After breakfast, we continued E on US-60 to Globe and a stop for gas.
After filling up, we proceeeded through Globe and took AZ-77 over El Capitan pass to Winkleman. At Winkleman, we turned onto AZ-77 which took us back to Superior and then back to the valley. Total miles was around 200. This was my first ride of any real distance on the Harley, so I am still breaking it in. Here's some pictures we took atop El Capitan Pass: Toophun took this picture of ME SITTING ATOP MY NEW BIKE. ![]() Here's our bikes together ![]() Here's Toophun taking a picture of the view from 4983' above sea level. ![]() The temperature was around 60 degrees at the pass. It was close to 90 when we hit Winkleman. Edit: When I filled up in Globe, at 133.4 miles I calculated 38.8 MPG.
