Welcome JR, take care and get home safe!! Which unit are you serving with? I'm in the IMA program (Tooele AFRAT to be specific), have volunteered for a couple short "sand-in-the-boots" tours but haven't been selected yet. We'll definitely have to do lunch when you get back (I'm buyin') and ride down to SL to ride with these other folks. :rockon:

Hey all!
Just letting you know that another Utahn has joined the FZ6(R) Club! I actually live right by the American Fork canyon entrance and I believe I went driving through the same day you did abacall. I can't wait for the Alpine loop to completely open up as I have never been through there. It's sooo beautiful out there.
Heres some crappy pics from my iphone.

Welcome phantom! Is that pic from the upper lot? That 20 mph bender right before is great! I had to do it a couple of times, a great turn to practice technique on. I've only ridden the loop twice, but it's one of the best roads to ride. It's tight, twisty, and amazing scenery. Just take it easy on there, there are some unexpected sharp turns.
Looks like a UFO on the first pic!

That's the furthest you can go on the Alpine loop right now as the rest is closed. That curve is pretty insane right at the top, almost caught me by surprise. I wish the speed limit was just a little higher though, want to really get into those curves. I only broke the law a few times
I think the UFO is lint from my pocket. Phone is usually covered in it.

Welcome phantom! Congrats on the new bike! You'll have to let us know what you think of the R after you've given it a good break-in. Looks sweet! :thumbup:

Yeah, 42*, brrr... It does look like a great week to ride though, highs in the 60's. My bike's getting the steering head tightened, again. I just didn't feel like taking that apart...
So I probably won't have it this week, sad.

Nah, I think you picked a great week to get your bike worked on...it's a cold windy day today, thunderstorms tomorrow and Wednesday
Lame! You guys are making me jealous with the American fork pics! I need to go for a good canyon ride...

Trem, is that you parked in the ACE harware lot on 400S? I always see a red Fizzer there.

Nope, not me. You would spot mine parked at the edge of the ghetto on 700 W during work hours. I work for a great company, but I always worry about my bike being parked in this neighborhood...luckily we have cameras, and cops love to give tickets on this road, so hopefully she will be safe out there

Luckily I'm able to park my bike about 20 feet from my desk right outside the window. I've contemplated getting a blow dart gun for the people thinking of sitting on my bike. It's happened more then once where people were walking around and I could see them looking around for anyone watching.

Anyone up for a mid-week ride next week? Great weather should be rolling in after Memorial Day. East canyon just opened and it's killer. The last section is pretty bumpy with some serious frost heaves and road damage, but the rest of it is smooth. I just rode it today.
Otherwise we can always do a quick Big Cottonwood romp. Who's in?

Count me in! I get off at work at 3 everyday so I could be up there by 4? I haven't done either of those canyons.

Poop, I'm flying out to FEWarren AFB in Wyoming for the week, need to figure out how to fix some 16,000-lb blast doors in the missile sites. Thanks Abacall for keeping me in the loop, we'll find a good time yet! :thumbup:

No problem. Let us know when you can come. I'll be off from work soon, so riding times and days will be flexible.
Not sure anymore. I was planning on it, but a river trip invitation came up and those are hard to pass up.
How does Thursday sound? Should be perfect weather. Emmigration Canyon to East Canyon would be a great ride.
