Ok, here's my .02 worth, pics courtesy of Mrs. CAJW.... ride courtesy of some great folks, tons of fun!
OM and Laura conducting the pre-ride helmet inspection ritual
Little girl quote "Daddy, Daddy, that looks just like the real OM, could it be?!!"
Olympia riding gear Male Models
Marine layer pushing over the hills, keeping temps perfect!
Awesome scenery, glad it finally started raining here in the Golden State
When we passed this officer, she yelled something about looking for a guy with a yellow melon
One of the few pics we got of the Hippo in action
One of the many ooh factors
Obligatory sheep pic
Obligatory barn pic
One of surely many selfies taken by OM that day
Did anyone notice we were in wine country?
I'm sure this pic of Brad and Christy will be used by the winery for ads appealing to hooligans
Leaving the wine tasting locked and loaded
Bonus barn pic
After lunch cluster
A "few" Golden poppies in the hills
Nice
OM in his usual state of meditation ( Kevin & Maree are probably thinking "WTF, now? here?") (Mark and Laura are probably thinking "we're so sorry you had to witness this")
Trance broken, he's back!
Never saw OM after this shot
Fun day for sure!

Not Safe For Work
It would have been fair if you'd taken a full-length picture, John. He was actually floating about two inches off the ground.OM in his usual state of meditation
And here are the results of Kevin's fix. A lot of the supporting structure holding up the mirror and light brackets and the accessory shelf was pretty twisted, in addition to some cosmetic cracking of upper plastic. It came out pretty well. There was no charge at all for all the windshield stickers (Kevin had his own Aussie flag ready to apply). Heading out. First scheduled stop on the way to CAJW's is Chief Auto Parts for a right headlight bulb. Safe travels.

Outstanding repair, good on Mike and John for helping our down under travelers.

Some people just didn't want to be associated with the lowbrow FJR antics. Isn't that right Doug?

One more from yesterday. Cool old timey wind machine converted to propane to keep those precious wine grapes from freezing.

Thanks to all of you for the great photos, and more importantly for making last Saturday a really nice time.
I got very few good photos, but I'd be a dick to not share them with y'all.
Here ya go ….
Springtime in this part of the world is a beautiful thing.
Our RIDE LEADER/RIDE ORGANIZER/GURU Bokerfork (Mark) on the left. CAJW (JohnnyDog) on the right.
Saying important stuff to each other. Probably.
Oh, shit. How did THIS get in here?
More motorcycles and green things.
We stopped a few times, and it's always fun to listen in on the little group conversations ….
Zooming along, making gestures.
Observations.
DougieBear (Bugnatr) is as smooth as silk on that Giant Honda he rides now. Just think what he could do on a KTM!
Kevin and Maree are a couple of groovy Aussies. I'd love to have a few drinks with Kevin sometime. I'm guessing he'd
be a good story teller.
The stop at the winery was a highlight. The gals all loved it, 'cause we all know that Forum pillions are some hard-drinkin' wenches.
Brad (Uberkul) might just be the best photographer on the Forum. He really oughta share more of his work with us.
I don't know WHO invited these guys.
Sacramento Mike is a special bastard. He's originally from Syracuse, so he talks sorta funny and says funny things.
Okay. I shoulda stopped five pictures ago.
It was a good day.
I know it gets said often, but if you want to spend time with a bunch of genuinely good folks, go on a ride with FJRForum people.

Brother Mick, it's truly amazing how much John and Mark look exactly like Brad Pitt and George Clooney! They must be their Hollywood doubles, REALLY!

Yeah, it's a concrete corn cob. So?
Looks like this was a truly awesome ride!
And glad the Aussies are OK.
