Take a dezert ride with D dog and his grand-puppy? You drive and I'll hold the puppy. 
This is my 1960 R50 'old dog' just out of the barn after 25 years of resting. 

This was the start of my pack of dogs
1960 R50
1976 R90/6
1993 R100GS/PD

Then I started adding to the 'pack' with this R80GS from Colorado

With a new R100GS Red tank, it is now called the "Bloodhound"Thanks Keith for the name. 

Then I added this R80GS from Wisconsin 

The 'Fatdog' on a ridge in Arizona
1983 BMW R80GS
11.43gallon gas tank
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then things started getting crazy and I ended up with this pack of dogs in my front yard. 
Only seven, so far.....

I bought a nice 1984 BMW R80ST as well as a new never installed sidecar to put on it. 

That was so much fun I decided to mount it instead on my old Yellow Dog R100GSPD which give it a little more power and also frees up the ST for road work which it loves. 

Final count 'so far'

1960 R50 with Pop Dreyer sidecar.
1993 R100GSPD Yellow Dog
1975 R90/6 Black Dog
1981 R80GS Bloodhound
1976 R75/6 Nevada Desert Dog
1983 R80GS Fat Dog
1981 R80GS Texas Blue Tick
1984 R80ST Liver nose

YES, they are fun to ride!!!

Another guard dog. This one wearing doggles in a Harley Davidson saddle beg. Small but mighty!

What the heck are Icelandic sheep dogs doing on the Dezert dog page? They are 'best friends'.

Ely and Ike are always ready to make friends, unlike  this guy...... 

Wouldn't it be better if we had this altitude for our Leader

And, had nap time with our best friends

If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.

The Famous "DezertDog.com" Road Logs
These posts are the result of my adventures since we sold the farm on the Tongue River and I took to the road. It is  a way for me to keep track of myself of where I have been and what I have seen and experienced along the way. I have been learning along the way with the new Dell laptop computer I bought for the trip. I cant guarantee that it will all make sense or that I have things in the right order here. On 2-10-04 I bought a Cannon A60 camera and some of the posts after that date have photos on the page. I am still learning about the size and quality of photos for the web so some pages may be slow to load while most should be fairly fast. The descriptions of what you might find at the link to the individual logs may or may not be accurate, they were quick notes as I went along. If you find anything politically incorrect or in error, try to overlook it, or stuff it, your choice. Comments and feedback always appreciated.

Remember;

The idea is not to arrive at your grave in a perfectly preserved body, 
but to come sliding in sideways yelling "Holy shit, what a ride!"

If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went.
