Pictures from the Cornering Workshop

[Old Michael]

Also see JB's report, for more info.

Just a word about the trip and experience. Seriously, even though the instruction, and track riding,

and all the Streetmasters stuff was great,

the best part was meeting and spending time with forum members. Without exception, they really

ARE a fine bunch, with interesting personalities,

excellents wits, and good hearts.

I apologize to Hit the Road Jack and the rest of the kind bunch who kindly came to Lancaster and

enriched the experience for those who went on the Sunday ride. (SOMEBODY had to get JB home safely. )

I hope some of ya'll get a chance to come up and ride some of these Sierra passes with us this summer.

Madmike will buy everyone's gas and food.

Okay. Here's the snapshots.

Elk Grove departure.

Ripon

Fresno for lunch and a Toecutter encounter.

10,000 posts chatting!

Lancaster - Harley's made the trip too.

Saturday morning. Perfect weather and almost no wind.

The day at Willow Springs.

More in a sec.

Continuing. More snapshots.

Good chaps.

More good chaps.

Not good chaps.

And a few more pics.

That's me leading the group.

Sacramento Mike, gfran, and Night Shine.

And of course this basta.........I mean flying junior!

A tight squeeze.

Nice color?

The last supper. A happy time!

Left at 4:00 the next morning! .................. Ask anybody!

Made good progress until we turned down this road recommended

by dcarver.

Great trip. Learned a lot. Enjoyed the hell out of it.

Thanks all.

To borrow a line from "Hook"...

THAT was a great adventure!

Good friends, new and old, increased motorcycle knowledge, riding 790 miles over the weekend....when does the "good life" start?

Okay, once again Old Michael has made my own pictures look like crap. Good job, though. I was so embarrassed I posted mine in the other thread. Maybe somebody can combine the two. But how come you called this thread "Pictures from the Cornering Workshop?" It's got WORDS in it too! You should have called it "Pictures and Words from the Cornering Workshop." My God, man.

That's a 100 mph road.. jeesh! just sayin..

Actually, I'd agree with you there Don. If I had to take my FJR down a road like that, whacking the throttle open would be the only way to go.

Great pix from Streetmasters. The two instructors either side of the green Kawasaki ZRX are Nancy Foote and Walt Fulton. You couldn't wish to meet nicer people.
