Excellent, John! Thanks for not posting all of those incriminating pictures! :lol: And what did Don and I tell you about Nac/Ferg. Road... Tops, eh?

See you on the next one, buddy!

Love the map. So how did you trailer the KTM690 SM back to Reno?

That bike is just plain hooliganism defined. That's a guaranteed loss of license and a stay at the Iron Bar Inn... Wooooo Hoooo! Great fun!

LOL, ....no way I'd show the world just exactly how you got the Creston wildlife drunk....Nac/Ferg was the best and big thanks to you for the thought. Great call, my first time on it ..simply amazing.

Yep, you and me and anyone kewl will be doin' it up again in a few weeks at the LowCal event in San Diego. Great time of year for anyone to ride into LowCal -we'll do the fun all over again, inlcuding drunk farm animals dressed up in women's clothes (oooops, sorry)

Love the map. So how did you trailer the KTM690 SM back to Reno?

Trailer?? You mean mount the beast and wheelie it home? Would be nice Craig, I could put it to use up here ...but really, Wayne is in choice spot for such a crazy machine. Great fun!

THAT IS THE TRUTH! RenoJohn, that trip report kicked ass! Loved it. It had me smiling all the way through (except the hot tub part) and the pics were great.

Brother, you enjoy life and that really comes through in your reports. Golden stuff! And the characters in your story, well that's a whole 'nuther story I suppose.

Thanks for the work in putting it together so that we could enjoy it too.

Damn! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

That was way cool!

Great to see you guys enjoying life.

Actually, it was a terrible weekend. I was sick all weekend wondering if the route was good enough, if the food was good enough, if the weather was good enough, if...

Well, then again, NOT!

Tell ya'll this.. TWN is a trooper, my doggie loved the free left over breakfast, and Reno just seems to have fun no matter what is happening... both scored high points in my 'can-they-hang-o-meter'. ?!

 

[Hit the Road Jack]

That Route Map is priceless! You should sell posters of that!

Most excellent report. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Silver Penguin]

Wow! Now that's how to do a Ride Report. The pictures were beyond awesome. I'm seriously tempted to ride right on past work tomorrow morning and head north to those beautiful roads.

And yes, I agree that Mr Carver has life pretty well figured out.

Wish I coulda been there. Looks like a great trip.

BTW, RJ, I think you must have found a doppelgänger Creston P.O. Here's a picture of the real Creston post office:

Looks like an incredible trip... :clapping:

Jimmy, we'll you're half right. My pic is the original ...and yes, usually a community will spiffy up the place in anticipation of renojohn's arrival.

However, your picture does look like portions of Creston after we remodeled it during our late night fun and frivolity. The only doppelgänger we saw was TWN on Saturday morning ..and throughout the day for that matter.

I "think" I'm finally figuring out who to invite to my next BBQ, based on this report! <_<

or, let's say who I might "forget" to invite! :blink:

It's just far too benevolent a society over here on the left coast! :beach: :elf:

Quote from linked report-

Immediately after I arrived the UPS man showed up. No suprise: motorcyle parts and this is obviously a common occurance as the UPS man says "...Don, got some more motorcycle parts for you" ...as he gave Don's dog (Harley) a treat.

Too funny. That must happen all over the USA because it sure happens down here in Huntington Beach. Great trip report and beautiful pictures. Creston sure looks green this time of year!

Oh Damn, I'm in trouble again. KJ, this was just the *warm up* event, and happened on a spur of the moment. I hope you aren't really-for-real pissed at me.

Nice write up John. I have seen more snow on NV 431 in June. That BBQ sure makes me hungry.

Thanks for sharing.

No, that's not a Creston Government building, that's a privately owned $ 400K fixer upper! <_<
