I had a flat tire kit so he helped me plug it while I continued packing my stuff. I offered to do it myself since he would be late for work but he called in and let his coworkers know he was going to be late. We got it all patched up and I was directed to the nearest motorcycle shop to get my tire changed. I needed a change anyways so I guess it was a good time to get a nail in my tire.
Two blocks later, I end up at Honda Suzuki of Salt Lake where I was going to get my tire changed. Motorcycle Parts in America are typically cheaper than Canadian motorcycle parts so I was expecting a pretty good price. I was kind of shocked when I heard the prices but they gave me a couple of discounts to help me out.
While I waited, I started up a conversation with Tarik, the Chief Operating Officer. He took me into his office where we talked about bikes and his love for motorcycle racing. Nice guy, definitely made my morning a little better. Tires were done in 1.5 hours and I was good to go. Since I was a little bit behind, I had to make a decision whether to skip Canyonlands National Park or Arches National Park in Utah. The decision will be made when I get there.
A few hours later, the canyon and orange rocks start to show up. Finally, I’m getting closer to Moab! From the pictures that were posted on advrider, Moab looked like an amazing place and one of the highlights of the trip and amazing it was. Since the National Parks were only a few miles away, I decided to visit both of them. I’d regret it if I missed out.
There was one more destination that was planned along the route. Highway 141. This scenic highway ran between two rock cliffs for about 160kms.
Amazing views the whole way through. I was a little behind schedule so I ended up getting caught out as it was getting dark. Kind of scary when you see deer popping out every 5 minutes. I made it to Grand Junction safe and sound and hit the bed.
