As advertised on the California forum, we started the new year off right by visiting Mt. Hamilton and Mt. Diablo. The "group" consisted of myself, forum member Apratt, and our friend Alex C. We know each other from the Cal 24 rally, and spent much of our down time telling old stories about our...

JB I got your text. Enjoy your so-called "family brunch." Yeah, right, probably just you sitting at the counter at Denny's. :)

Thanks for the ride today, JB. It was just what I needed to usher in my second semicentury. Great pics, too. I didn't notice Bowie's missing finger till I shook hands with him and something felt funny. :o

THIS RIDE MOVED TO NEW THREAD

Bump. How are you doing on the Diablo to Tam route, Hans?

Brackets arrived from Garauld. Beautifully welded. Beautifully re-powder-coated, even the reference bracket. Installed yesterday. Repaired bracket fits perfectly. Fuel cell properly mounted. FJR ready to ride. Status: APPROVED WITH MUCH THANKS.

Yeah me. If you can handle being seen with someone on a Gold Wing. got a few errands but will be free later.

OMG You are my hero Gary! And a great big happy Thanksgiving to you too. :)

10 PM is past Hans' bedtime.

Are you kidding? $5 won't get you the time of day in San Francisco. They said they have a $40 min. Anyway I didn't shop it around, just picked a place that was convenient and figured the job was so simple even a high schooler could do it.

They have offered to fix it, but I am not interested. This was the work of their top TIG guy, according to the front desk. If you're serious I'll take you up on it. THANKS!!!

They wanted to keep the bracket but there was no way I was leaving it there. I walked out without paying a dime. They promised me a discount, would only charge me $35 instead of the $45 quoted, for the finished job. Yeah, right. The odds are 50/50 that they start calling me for the $35, but I'll...

I have a BLM Accessories fuel cell on my FJR. It's a wonderful unit. Unfortunately, one of the mounting brackets had a weld fail. The bracket attaches to the frame via two bolts on each side, and one of the bolts was missing. Probably it's my own fault for not tightening it properly when I...

Sorry, ladies, I'm going to miss Pink's this year. But you have fun, and visit lots of counties for me.

Beeroux is the authority on all things Jtree. He used to live there. I rode through it once. The northern part of the park is really cool. Southern park is just ok, typical desert. I would budget some time to stop and smell the roses in the park (though in this case the roses are interesting...

****. I posted something on Greg's page by mistake. I thought it was going on my page. Now deleted.

When **** like this happens, the only thing I can do is listen to this song. People Who Died by Jim Carroll

Unbelievable. What a tragedy. He was a great guy. You are gone too soon, my friend.

You got that right. Serious comedown today. I want to live in a world where LD riding is considered "real life."
