Awesome! Patagonia is a cool little town. The Wifey and I stayed down there a few years ago at a bed and breakfast llama farm. Yeah, Arizona is the place to be to ride right now. 77 today.

By the way, I LOVE the bicycle pedals! Where did you get them or did you just modify a set?

That was fire, Verse...
Heat from fire don't count...
Thank God you didn't get any hotter...

S-P... I had a friend weld the retro pedals onto some stock peg posts...
Pretty comfy once you get used to them...
Gives me something something to do while waiting at lights...
Spin'em!... Kids love it... ;D...

I rode a 1971 Honda 400 while in Apache Junction AZ one time in the summer. By 11 am it was over 100 and by 3pm it was 113! Might be dry heat but holy crap was it hot! I layed my arm on the handle bar and got a real nasty burn. I know it's nice there now but do you limit riding to just mornings and evenings there in the summertime? I do not know if he was exaggerating or not but when I parked his bike on the driveway he had me move it. Said the tires could melt into the asphalt. Sure felt like it!
