I'm sure you will spend all next winter posting sunshine smilies.

Nice find Fred! That might work on the top-vent of may BSK (big steel keg), but the exhaust vent is a cruel environment for condensible oil, grease and particulate that can really gum up a vent. I wonder how well this would work under those conditions.

Those blind rises with the curves on the far-side are really tricky. I have ridden with locals that "know" the road, but my comfort zone for speed on 555 is somewhat lower than them. Deer, blind corners, driveways and debris, oh my!

Somebody has to do it, or there won't be used ones.

Good link Mike. That really shows what still remains to be done to open the road. Amazing.

No worries Hud! While there is very little private ownership along that stretch, I'm sure your proposed sale should be right on par with swamp land in Florida.

Gorda, the town with the highest gasoline prices in the continental U.S. I wonder if they are even open?

The backcountry skiers are in hog heaven. Drive as far as the gates allow, and hike for turns. I don't see the passes opening for Memorial weekend this year, but no problem hoping something busts loose. Ebbetts pass is usually the first to fall, followed by Tioga and Sonora. The NPS tries...

The slide appears to be just north of Nacimiento Ferguson Road. You can see it as the fly-by heads south. A near miss.

I cook in the rain and snow all the time. I use a remote thermometer to monitor pit temperature and the cook, and only need to go out briefly to make adjustments. You don't need to sit in the rain to drink a beer and cook.

An immense landslide near Big Sur has changed the shape of the coastline and closed Hwy 1 indefinitely. Hwy 1 was already closed for the bridge repair, but this one is going to take a while. The slide is still active and moving. I'm not close to this, but if anyone has plans for Hwy 1, it...

It's hard to kill a pork butt, even when it's a shoulder. Looks good, and I bet it tasted better.

The far north latitudes are magical in June. Winter has barely left, and Spring is in full force, but daylight lasts foreever. I was amazed at the light when traveling the U.P. of Michigan and the northern shores at this time of year. Wish I was traveling your route...unless you're stopping...

Mine is on the lee side of the shield...I'm not crazy!

Draco, those tires look like the take-offs I put back on. Where you going?

Center-bottom of the windshield, using the provided 3M Grip-lock

The Florida SunPass system has relied on license plate recognition for at least the last 4 years. There are no toll booths on the Florida Turnpike, they take your picture and send a bill. If you don't have SunPass, you pay a premium, and they charge in increments of $5 and don't provide...

Most of the states you are touring use EZ-Pass. You can order an EZ-Pass for Motorcycles which provides a discounted toll compared to cars or cash. I recommend you just get the EZ-Pass from PA who only charges $3.00/year service fee. You will put a deposit of $10 for the transponder, and put...

Jamie, have you ever had those Michelins changed? Try a T-30 on the fornt, no blocking or scalloping.

Shades of Bodega Bay. You tryin' to start trouble? We've moved beyond carbs.
