My bike's first-ever truck ride


This is Jeff, the recovery vehicle guy, strapping down my bike for the ride back to Colorado Springs after I had a flat back tire near Kit Carson, Colo. on Thursday. It's a long story, which I will detail soon, but we have guests coming late tonight and a house to clean.
The short version is that I used my BMA/Cross Country Motor Club account to pick up the tab for a $404 wrecker ride the 100-some miles back to Colorado Springs where I had both tires replaced at BMW of Colorado Springs on Friday, then rode to a Motel 6 at Topeka. I made the final ride home Saturday, arriving about 3:15 p.m.
Total miles (no counting the wrecker ride): 3,148
