Jdog filmed the ride and we all had a great time. Marty led the ride at a nice pace and everyone enjoyed the beautiful day and scenery. We had people from far and near. Larry rode all the way in from Long Beach and we met the wacky ‘Northern Crew’ Duff & dcarver from Lompoc and Creston at Jalama. We had a total of 15 people for lunch.
Jdog, TwoWheelNut and I hung out for awhile after lunch with Don aka dcarver & Gary aka duff. Then Tim and I traded bikes for the ride out to Hwy 1. WOW... First time I rode a FJR.... WAHOOOO....I Really enjoyed it...!!!! Mega Thanks Tim. I think Tim liked my bike... I think there might be a new “iddy biddy six fiddy” in Tim's future for the Alaska trip in ‘08... LOL
What a blast. 335 miles for me today.
I want to thank everyone who showed up
and made this a great day of riding and hanging out enjoying each others company. Hats off to Larry who rode all the way from Long Beach to make this ride... Lets do it again soon... Jdog will have the video done in a couple days or so and I will get it out to everyone.
I don't have everyone's email so if anyone wants the pic's that went with this ride report, PM me your email addy and I'll send it out to you.
Be Well, Ride Safe & Enjoy...
