GATEWAY COLORADO: A BROKEN MOTORCYCLE and a scenic ride on the DOLORES TRIANGLE SAFARI ROUTE

Always trouble! Find out what was wrong with my motorcycle, ride the scenic Dolores Triangle Safari Route from Utah to Colorado with me and enjoy a stay in Gateway Colorado - including a visit to the famous Gateway Auto Museum with a collection of american cars! Traveling is about accepting the challenges along the way. It’s the choice to keep moving, no matter how big or unexpected the obstacles are. We chose to move forwards, to leave Moab and travel to beautiful Gateway in Colorado, where we visited an amazing auto museum and explored the surroundings on the back of a horse. But even leaving Utah was more difficult than expected - because my Yamaha Tenere refused to start. Due to the unexpected foot injury, our plans changed several times - we were not able to stay in Moab any longer because everything was booked, so our new travel companion decided to first drive back the rental bike of my injured travel partner to the next rental place in Grand Junction Colorado - and we would all leave Moab on different ways and meet again in the small town Gateway to spend two more days together before our paths finally would separate. While the other rider of our group dropped the motorcycle at the rental place, I had to deal with some new issues. The broken switch of the sidestand of my Yamaha Tenere 700! It was Sunday morning, all shops were closed and I needed a solution for this problem. I watched several Youtube Videos - and decided that my motorcycle needs a little surgery. Afterwards I took off from Moab and I followed Highway 128, which went on a beautiful curvy road along Colorado river. And turned off on the beginning of La Sal Loop Road. To reach the town Gateway in Colorado you don’t follow the paved La Sal Loop though, but continue on the so called Doloroes Triangle Safari Route aka Gateway Road, that soon turns into a packed gravel road. Enjoy views on Fisher Mesa, Bull Canyon and John Brown Canyon. If you want to know why Gateway is so special and see some amazing american cars of the Gateway Auto Museum tune in - we will as well change perspective and exchange the 75 hoursepower of my Tenere to 1!
