Old Tucson Studios Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum

Great day, spent the entire day cruising the Tucson Mountains on my Della Cruz. Had a bite to eat at old Tucson Studios (Photos 1-3) and then continued my travels West towards the Desert museum ( Photos 4-5).

Southern Arizona Transportation Museum

Southern Arizona Transportation Museum, Tucson

A cool ride to the museum (Photo 1 & 2) in downtown Tucson which I never knew it was there. It wasn't until a previous ride in the area on my Della Cruz did I even noticed we had a museum there.

Got to check out the Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday statue (Photo 3)

And Engine 1673 Historic Locomotive #1673 Facts (Photo 4).

Mission San Xavier del Bac

Tucson to San Xavier to visit Home. It was a hot day middle of summer and it was a good ride until I had a flat (Photo 1).

It was a pain to change on the side of the road but I was able to get in done to make it to San Xavier (Photo 2)

It was well worth the ride in the hot AZ sun once I made it to San Xavier Mission (Photo 3). As I left I stopped by the San Xavier Cemetery (Photo 4). You may view more photos @ San Xavier Mission Ride pictures by FR31MB - Photobucket

Pima Air & Space Museum

Home

This was a very long ride from where I started, on my return ride home I ran out of fuel about 2 blocks short. Plus I had to go right through the traffic parts of the city. This was a specific ride to check out the museums KC97 Stratotanker. You may view more photos @ Pima Air Museum Ride pictures by FR31MB - Photobucket

So what about you? Any past travels you have not shared with us? A favorite or memorable ride that you have not shared in a while? I enjoy seeing and reading what others do on there motor assisted bicycle. If there is one thing I have enjoyed the most is the places my Motorized Bicycle takes me.

That looks great Bill, AZ has some great places to ride. I love those long roads outside of the city with very little to no traffic. Just cruising along enjoying the day and the awesome AZ scenery.

Elk with m/c in White mountains, AZ - mostly at night. No collisions but gotta slow it down to about 50mph and scan, scan, scan roadside constantly. Watch for those glowing eyes!

Good brakes, paying attention and not riding a speedster beyond your headlight - you should be fine avoiding most critters. But, ya never know what's around the next corner...

btw - Wife and I took our eBike and electric kickscooter to Yosemite and Sequoia last year. It was awesome getting around valley floor. Don't think a gasser would've been able to remain under radar but my electrics are very quiet and 10-15 mile range with just small batteries.

 

[James912]

Thats cool. Another option to scanning the roadside, is if your in the mountains, use an expansion chamber. Itll make a **** of a racket and will probably scare all the critter off. lol Haven't tried, but just a thought. I have one. I bought my kit 3 weeks ago and am modifying the chain tensioner so I don't have accidents. lol My setup is from Daemon Bikes(bad idea)all the screws holding the engine together were nearly stripped when I got it out of the box! Spark Plug is cheap as it gets. But It runs pretty fast. Just got to adjust the carb, and finish up on the tensioner. Cant go w/o it cuz i can't shorten my chain anymore. So without it it jams up on the clutch cover, or come off the back sprocket. My next build is gonna be a friction drive. The in-frame kits take too much tinkering. lol

Bee, or a hornet. Got me on the arm. And people say, "leave them alone and they won't hurt you". Bull. I was just riding along, minding my own business. Do insects count?

[James912]

Of course they count. Some are harmful therefore its very relevent. i nearly swallowled a bee walking home from the trolley stop which is like 2 blocks from my house. i cant bring my bike cuz tbey think its a firehazard. its a rule with buses or trolley's. But i enyo te walk. I didnt even see the bee. It ran right into my lips. i had myclips partway open so he nearly went right in. That would have been bad. he didnt come after me though. he felt soft too. lol finished mounting my stock tensioner with new bolts. it aint going anywhere. its tight as heck. im still going to check it before each run though.

 

[James912]

Engine runs great. It wants to run fast, its got good speed. i went to full speed just to see how fast it goes. it goes atleast 25-30 easy. gotta go half throttle till after the break in period is up in 500 kilometers.
