WildWind is offering an exclusive winter tour of the warm West. This six-day/five-night program visits famed Old West outposts, the ghosts of Tombstone, the old mining town of Bisbee, the eerie rock formations of the Chiricahua wilderness and the bygone charm of Patagonia. Ride with us along the border of the haunting Superstition Mountains, let your mind wander among the unforgiving wastelands, searching for the Lost Dutchman’s gold mine. These are just some of the attractions unique to this desert wonderland. The Good Guys and Gunslingers will take you on a journey through hip and vibrant downtown Tucson and Old Tucson Studios, which recreates an 1880s town and has served as a set for a number of westerns. Explore the Saguaro National Forest, where the giant cacti grow like trees. Ride to Tombstone, the town “Too tough to die;” walk in the footsteps of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday as they blasted their way into history at the OK Corral. Visit Tombstone’s Birdcage Theater where dancehall girls plied their trade and fortunes were won and lost, sometimes at the point of a Colt 45. Walk the wooden sidewalks, visit the old clapboard storefronts, enjoy a cold beverage at Big Nose Kate’s Saloon, stay the night in a haunted hotel, if you dare. Near the Mexican border, the living history town of Bisbee remains a rough and tumble working mining town lined with 100-year-old brick buildings, elegant hotels and throwback saloons. Then head east to the Chiricahuas, which the Forest Service describes as a spectacular “wonderland of rocks.” The national monument is a forest of rock spires created by eroded layers of volcanic rock. You will feel like you’re visiting another planet. The Good Guys & Gunslingers Tour is scheduled for January 14 to 19. Price is $1,971 including room and taxes, per person, double occupancy. Motorcycle rental is not includes and varies depending on make and model. Please call 602-690-2864 for more details.

Whichever of you returns with the most skins will become my right hand man and will be the next chief.” A month later, Running Buffalo came back with nearly a hundred pelts. Sadly, Falling Rocks never returned. The tribe organized a search and looked everywhere, but they couldn’t find the missing brave anywhere. Today, as you drive through the West, you can see the evidence of love and devotion the tribe had for this lost warrior. Throughout the highways, on interstates and side roads, you can still see their signs that say, ‘Watch for Falling Rocks.'” –from Rev CarlR FASTLANE BIKER SHOW COMING–Hey everyone Just a reminder the show is next weekend.

Something over the headlight, as long as it wasn?t too heavy, could do the trick. The bike would maintain its nasty profile, I could still pack someone on the back, and carry my shit. As I wound through the canyon, my mind went to work on the bedroll concept. Could it carry all I wanted to pack? Another question smacked me as I rounded another corner and caught a glimpse of the Pacific lapping the Malibu shores in the distance. What about a tool bag? The short answer is yes, the perfect bag for the job. Bandit?s Bed Roll is the perfect combo of tool bag and weekender engineered by the man that delivers form and function and keeps your ride looking clean. So pull out your wallet and click here to get your official Bandit Bed Roll Today. THE END–Of the News until Sunday. I?m all ready to hit the road for happy hour and treats, goddamnit. I?m going to start posting features on Green bikes tomorrow. There?s an invasion. In fact, another one rolled into the Bikernet Headquarters this week from Caleb. There?s a teaser shot above. I don?t have a lot to report. We?re trying to decide whether to hit the Cincy dealer show in February or Daytona in March. We don?t have the budget for both. Actually a particular woman wants me to take her to the Keys. Not great for business, but a terrific place to hide out. I?m behind on my list of articles, but catching up. I?ll write about our Hawaiian adventure this weekend, cover a couple of green machines and interview a local painter for my CrazyHorse painting book forward. We?ve just about wrapped the Bonneville book for Wolfgang. I have another bike from the Garage Company, more from Tim Conder, another Girl of Bikernet is crawling around here nude and I need to work on my Road King. W8less rotors are in and ready to install. Have a terrific weekend and get caught up on your projects. Next week we face Thanksgiving and the Holidays are officially launched. Hang on.
