It's bit over 100 miles just to get into Phoenix + the miles in phoenix to get to the start of the rally where we met for Breakfast. After breakfast we went riding to a bowling alley where I bowled for me a decent 98 coming in 2nd for our lane. Next it was off to 'Rips' for drinks and dogs.
At this point Sean and our Lammy riding friends had to head back to Tucson and I stayed behind to hang out with a Phoenix based friend who I don't get to see often.
My friend and I spent the rest of the day riding around having fun, We went to a couple book stores, an art gallery, a street fair and eventually hung out by the pool at her complex for a couple hours.
Eventually I found myself a cheap hotel room and crashed out for a couple hours as I was exhausted. I had originally planned to ride up and back the same day but due to how long my friend and I hung out it just wasn't possible and I didn't want to be on the road in the dark at 3AM waiting to be hit by a car that didn't see the meager taillight on my bike.
So the next morning I woke up, fueled up in Chandler and hit the road for the long ride home.
About 70 miles later I ran out of gas at Missile Base Road just a few miles before my intended fuel stop
, Good news is I had a bottle of gas in my glove box so no harm done. Note to self, I really should get a replacement fuel tap so I can use that reserve gas I saw in my tank when I poured in my bottle.
All in all my 4-T Stella preformed like a champ suffering hours upon hours at wide open throttle with no issues, It didn't leak or burn a drop of oil as far as I can tell.
This was the first time I've taken my 4T out of Tucson and I feel confident that It'll take me anywhere I want to go eventually.

You won't miss him.
