It looks like you guys had a great time and in some nice weather! That area is really lovely in the Spring.

Dont' get me started HYCLE.....

Too late. I'm started.

It was really a great day of riding in a great area with some wonderfully warm and interesting people.

My insights here will be limited though, as I spent most of the day asking strangers "Hey, did you see a bunch of Yamahas come through here? Which way did they go?"

Okay. Here's some pictures!

The prettiest FJR of the group. And a great couple riding it.

Name tags.

How do these FJR dudes score such hot chicks?

This one was leaking oil I think. And being a smart aleck. And Pilot Road ONES aren't good enough for ya?

"...and Silent, if you don't pay attention, you'll be late for lunch!

Sorry about the poor quality of these pics. Again, ....um,........... Dr. Rich was at fault.

He had touched my camera earlier.

Is she flipping me off? I think so.

Love the red.

After I got lost. Cool bathroo.........tree!

"I'll just wait here. Surely, they'll notice I'm missing and come back for me."

"Or here. Surely, they'll look for me HERE..."

Enjoyed the heck out of this ride with you guys.

The FORUM is a good thing I reckon.

Thanks again all.

PEACE

We had a great time on the ride today, we made some news friends and rode some great roads!

The Sacramento Gang met at the Capitol Ave. Chevron in West Sac.

“The Guys” checking out “The Girls”

Hitting the road.

Rendezvous point with the Bay Area contingent.

On the road again.

We stopped for lunch, the toughest riders and Pillions braved the cold wind and ate outside!

Here is Ric from Sac walking over to check out the cruiser.... I think he wants one!

Misty at the end of the ride had sore feet so she took off her boots and put on her flip flops...Please note they match the pink jacket. Ken just shook his head!

Thanks all for making it such a wonderful day. Rich

Just what Deb and I needed yesterday, a chance to blow away some cobwebs and clear the rust from my riding. Better than any medicine for sure. :yahoo: A great day's ride with some great peeps.

Old friends, new friends, good roads and sunshine --- can't get much better

All got home safely I hope.

I'll find some pics to add to the brilliant ones already posted when I get time later. And thanks to all for the company and comararderie (sp)

Thanks go to Rich for another great ride/route with lots of wonderful scenery and twisty roads. Your rides do seem to draw the crowds from all directions. It was great seeing most of the familiar faces as well as meeting some of the new ones. I spied muffins, chocolate and cigars being offered up during our little feast on wheels.

What an enjoyable day I had riding with all of you! :clapping: I"m happy to see so many people enjoying their FJRs. I had made an early morning run through Berryessa and up Knoxville and Morgan Valley roads to Clear Lake, Hwy 20 and 16 to meet you. I noticed that you see different wildflowers going in the opposite direction. Great fun!!

Dr Rich: I appreciate your naming the parties in your pictures. It gives me a chance to learn more names! And thanks again for setting this one up!

The "Birthday Boy" put the frosting on the cake when he led a spirited run back to Berryessa and the 128/121 junction. He's really going to be good when he grows up!!

OK -- I have 4 shots I can add. Couple of "milling arounders" and more.

I have no idea what's goin' on with Steve here !! Maybe Rick should know ?

 

[rogdeb]

And Rob's saying what ?? "How come I wasn't invited into this shot with Deb, Mark & Annmarie ??
