Day 8 - 543 miles/ 2357 total miles Back in CA

SWIM SUITS FOR A HOT RIDE!!!




HOLY BALONEY!! 543 miles in hot, hot weather!!!





What an amazing ride through three states!! The girls went through the Painted Dessert in New Mexico, the pine forests of Flagstaff Arizona and the Saguaro Catcus and dessert of Phoenix - all in one day!!! The entire ride was a visual dessert cart. There couldn't be a more amazing way to see the county than on our bikes.


The weather held out for the girls as they arrived in Flagstaff Arizona. The HD dealership was fabulous, except they did not carry dealer charms darn it. In addition to the store they had a cool roadside cafe where Sheri got to grill the girls hamburgers all by herself!! The people were great there and the girls met a couple traveling from southern Ill. They had a big huge ultra classic and a trailer. And the trailer was specifically so the woman could do a lot of shopping while they were on their motorcycle adventure!! Now that is Bif's kind of gal.....Oh Sheri can you say...trailer.......hint, hint......Also, one of the sales girls is from Berkley and was very excited to met her hometown girls. She especially liked meeting TerBear and MerBear. Hmmm that TerBear seemed a bit tooo interested in the sales girl......MerBear was giving her an evil eye.



The ride down to Phoenix was filled with incredible scenery and rain!! Thankfully, the girls avoided serious rainfall but wetness they did experience was quickly dried up by the dessert air!


Biff was not all that thrilled about going through Arizona and especially not Phoenix. About ten years ago, Biff had been bainshed from any semblance of liberal or progressive society and forced to live in Phoenix for a couple years. The trauma of those years, still hasn't worn off and she was a bit wary of getting any where near Phoenix. But fortunately this tour of Phoenix was pretty nice. The Harley Davidson dealership, Buddy Stubs, was very nice and had a great rider lounge where the girls took a nice long break. And the best part was that the dealership had screaming deals that Bif just couldn't pass up. And irony of irony Bif bought just the cutest sued winter jacket at the Phoenix dealership. It even has the softest fur on it!!!


Then they were back on the bikes and off to California. It was a hot, hot ride. Check out Bif's lovely look at the rest stop. Now that is a cover girl look if we ever saw one. And Terbear and MerBear decide it was way too hot to stay in their clothes. So they changed into their swim suits...MarBear is hot in her bikini!!!





As the girls crossed the state line into California they rode into the sunset. What a perfect way to end the day.
