+1 for an excellent farkle. I bought one last year and instantly loved it. They allow you to slide around easily on the saddle (to keep the blood circulating on long rides), and avoid "hot spots" on your sit bones.

Very nice '07 at a great price. I forwarded to one of our sons.

Well, poop. I should be leaving in about 30 minutes, but just checked the Wx: T-storms in San Bernardino through about 0900. Same in Lost Angeles. So I'm gonna delay my departure 24 hours and meander up Hwy 1 to the Bay Area tomorrow. Sorry to miss the BBQ & gathering, but when Mother Nature...

My brother in law has had my FJR for a few weeks so I'll be on my Wingabago. Should I park across the street, or around back? = /.

Perfect! Thanks for the suggestion.

Haha. Though I tend to plan my riding NOT to coincide with peak traffic hours here in SoCal, I always have a grin on my face while I'm lane sharing. I tend to view traffic like I do disease: when you can avoid it, do so. But when you can't, be glad your alive. Thanks for that tip. (I recall...

Perhaps I can adjust my trip to the Bay Area to include lunch "on the way". Can any of you Sacramento locals give me a hint about Sunday afternoon traffic heading west from Carson City? I recall at the IBR checkpoint two years ago that it was *crawling* from mid afternoon until after dark...

Outstanding RR. Being a food whore, I especially enjoyed the food porn photos! Glad that you had a chance to sample some of my favorite roads, eat pie in Julian, and experience "lane sharing" with an escort. We who have decades of practice wonder how the rest of the country live without the...

Auf Wiedersehen says it pretty well. How about some nice photos of your new bike? And a ride report with your impressions of her best attributes.

Thanks for the update. Good to hear that the healing process is continuing without complications, other than that pesky clock/calendar. With the '05 in the garage as an option, flight school sounds like a timely fork in the road to explore. You are clearly better prepared than many for the...

Congrats on your successful SS. The lower speed limits through Seattleish and Oregon really add hours to the experience! How did the adjustment to the RDL work out for you?

Gents - I can't add anything clever or eloquent to your great RRs. Like many here, we've been to many of those same places, felt similarly awed by the scope and grandeur, and come away changed for the better. Thanks for reminding, and for describing so beautifully. Pants - way to "bury the...

Laurie - please accept our sympathy for your loss. Best of success with the sale.

As the old, wise dude once said, "People who think they know it all are particularly irritating to those of us who actually DO."

Ramen! Scratches, like scars, are 'proof of life' - and usually preludes to tall tails & legends. Though I haven't (yet!) wrestled Lucille to the ground, Rose has taken several 'naps'. I can point to any one of her several 'beauty marks' and recall when, where, and how we acquired it. I even...

70,000 miles? I'm looking forward to reading that report. Enjoy!

Enjoy your new love and don't be a stranger here.

Congratulations on the new ride. Your description sounds like mine of 'Roxanne' - just too much fun. With just one bike, it's easy to not have jealous girlz in the garage. Have fun!

Dopey me. Only worn 3-4 times. Perfect condition. No, really - perfect. I bought these for my bride at the same time that I bought a pair for myself, about a dozen years ago. These are not the current '7.0' model seen here: https://joerocket.com/catalog/index.c...0%5BTextile%5D I wore mine...

Outstanding! Glad you were able to awaken the sleeping Esther and continue your wild ride. Scratches, like scars, are "proof of life" - and great conversation starters for those RTE parking lot lying-sessions. You never forget your first. Not that there will be any chance of that happening...
