Zippy-Zap, Here and Back!

Just about 10 days ago a friends called and said, "Hey, you need to come to Lake Havasu and bring your camera. Well, since I had the ability to clear my schedule and I'd never been to Lake Havasu I decided what the heck, jumped on my bike and went this past Thursday for a one-night turn around trip.


I didn't get an early start on Thursday so I arrived in Havasu after lunch, but early enough to capture the action an the International Jet Sports Boating Association Finals. I fulfilled my photo duties and then sat and chatted a bit with the folks at Monster, JBL and Kawasaki.

It was actually cool to watch the races and even look at how some of the same riding techniques we use on motorcycle apply and benefitted the racers. I commented that it didn't seem that dangerous of a sport and got some odds looks, but heck, there was plenty of run-off.


While I was hoping for a cooler ride it didn't really happen and temps were into the triple digits, although I must admit that 103 is a lot better than 115. Since I was trying to get there in back in a timing manner I did not have a lot of time to take photos, but when I was on the final section of a road that would take me to I-10 (The Superslab) I saw a sign, you know the ones you just have to turn around to take a picture, just to show your friends? Well anyway, here is the photo, and now I will have to return to get the story. I just that that maybe I will not do it at night...
