The day started out well. Leaving the little beach town this cop gave me a thumbs up, which in my experience is rare to say the least.
Then Mikey got flat in the desert. Changing the rear tube on the KTM is no small task. It was about an hour of work on the side of the road, in the heat, while being blasted by sand from the heavy wind gusts. The rear tire wouldn't seat properly even with CO2 cartridges getting the pressure above 50 psi. We had to limp it back to town to use a air compressor from a gas station.
It was at this point that I also got a flat on my bike. Lucky for me, we had already turned back to town as both mike and I nursed the bikes along the road.
After the multi flat tire debacle, we rode the remainder of the day and found another chill little fishing town to stay at that night.
