So sorry to read that, Ray. They sure do get a hold of your heart. We've had scares with each of our boys recently but are very grateful to have them still with us.

Back to the myths: 'I don't need to put all that gear on just to run to the (store, bar, coffee shop)'

Over 100K street miles and one crash, in 2012 that totaled the bike and put me in the hospital. Going to work at 3am and the freeway was closed for construction so I took the detour via unfamiliar roads. Looked over my shoulder to merge onto the new freeway. Woke up face down on the blacktop...

Guess what? You'll surely die if you DON'T ride a motorcycle too. But one of the pathways through life brings a lot more smiles than the other.

Very sad news. He left this world, doing something he loved.

Great pix. We planned to see Yosemite for the first time, earlier this year but our long awaited visit coincided with the fire that closed Tioga Pass.

Get well soon Barry. The place is far too polite without your offensive sense of humor.

Loved the ride report, DCarver. Great photos. More happy memories. Is it time to do this again yet?

Great report, and awesome pictures Tyler. Thanks so much for sharing. I've snagged a lot of your images for my screensaver at work. They will bring back lots of happy memories as they flip by on dull days.

So good to see you and Valerie again. Hope we can do this again soon. So many good peeps to talk to..... So little time.....

Thanks for the video, Richard. The road doesn't look anywhere near as intimidating as I thought it did. Guess I need to ride it over and over again until I get brave enough to do it with my eyes open.

Where did my paragraphs go? I didn't mean for this novel to be read all in one breath.

Wow! What a weekend. We made a serious miscalculation on how long it would take to get there, with traffic. Thus we arrived at Jalama Beach as the FJR party was leaving. Thank goodness they still had a couple of Jalama burgers left. It was a great road heading to the beach and back. My first...

Looking forward to this trip. First real ride on the new bike, in fact first real ride since the last GOTC. Things have gotten in the way of me putting the miles onto this bike the way I wanted to. Going to put that right this weekend. We're leaving early Friday morning in the hope of...

Sorry to hear it, T. I was looking forward to meeting Natalie. Glad she's OK though.

I wondered the same thing. Perhaps the changing weather will help the firecrews? So Cal has rain in the forecast for this Sunday.

Oh dear Steve, you might not want to post something like that on a Friday. Who knows what kind of responses you might get?

I thought this was about wine, wine, wine?

Thanks, Redfish. Let's call them engine bars shall we? I had them put on because this bike will be going off road and my footing is tentative on flat and level pavement. There is a high chance of it falling over, but that's why I got a GS rather than something with a fairing. I also added the...

Nice to hear from you, Barry. The fleet has been trimmed down substantially. We each have a BMW GS. He has the 1200 and I have the 700. For the desert, he has a KTM 450 and I have his old Yamaha WR250. For those rides when I need to have plates rather than power, I have a Honda CRF230...
