I have the bright yellow xx6, bought the summer of 2013. The battery is dead now but I kind of like that better because it was so loud! I only use it when traveling and felt the bright color might help as a deterrent.

Hey guys! Count me in as long as the weather is relatively reasonable. But...on my calendar the 23rd is a Friday. Did you mean "Let's Ride the 24th!"? Blah Even if it is cool, I'm good to go now that I have a heated jacket liner and gloves. :D

I bought my bike in late 2010. I rode a little the first year and a half, but when I hit a tough spot in my life I found riding to be my salvation. It required enough concentration to distract me from all else...and then I met some folks from this forum. Riding is when I am most happy and alive...

I'm going to check my mileage so I can keep track this year. As for riding to work...as a college professor it's not the gear that causes a problem, it's the helmet hair! And the need to carry a bunch of files back and forth. And I don't like to ride my black bike on the freeways at night...

I know I've been MIA lately, but I'm still around! Nice report, nice leathers, and I think it would be a blast to ride with you! Santa brought me a heated jacket liner and gloves so I've been testing them out on the local roads. You would love it down here and I have a lovely guest room...

A VERY, VERY belated birthday to you! I hope it was a happy one!

What's a battery tender? Oh wait, I live in SoCal, we don't use those. [emoji13] sorry. I've been gone too long and hanging out with a bad crowd!

The longest journey begins with one step. You are well on your way my friend! I've had to put my track dreams on hold for a bit, so I'm enjoying hearing about yours. While it seems like it would be fun to do everything perfect the first time, it really is the journey rather than the destination...

I love my vest. If it's cool in the morning I soak it, fold it and put in a gallon ziplock bag until I need it. That way, it's ready to go even if I'm in the middle of nowhere. I also use the "Perfect" brand cool towel around my neck. Sometimes one, sometimes the other, & sometimes both. I...

First, let me just say that was not my sexiest voice :innocent: Second, no one from the group was watching as I fell over after getting gas in Frazier Park. :spank: Why do gas stations always have the worst entry/exits? Up hill, with a drainage ditch at the top, and a 90 degree turn with a...

I officially kicked things off late Thursday when I rode up and around LA. Just didn't want to tack those 200 miles on to day one. Friday morning Goop left SD very early in order to meet Cali Rider, Mark, and Evan. They actually showed up at my hotel early!! Lucky for me I was ready to go and...

This past weekend, several SoCal Hoons and a few NorCal FZ friends gathered at Casa de Lefty to celebrate his coming of age. What age? It's not my place to say :rolleyes:. Lefty guided us for 3 days filled with his favorite twisties, while Mrs. Lefty made certain we were all WELL fed. OhMyGosh I...

Happy birthday to youuuuuu, Happy birthday toooo youuuuuuu, Haaaaapy BIRthdayyy dear Leftyyyyyyy, Happy birthday to youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. May all your wishes come true.

We had a great ride today. Joe & Katy were with us the whole way. It was quite warm for the first few stages of our ride, but was beautiful up in the higher elevations. We went to the Pine House Cafe, and everyone ordered the special. A stupendous western bacon cheeseburger. I didn't think...

I'm bringing at least one friend along. Mike on a Ducati 900 Super Sport. He's really nice and I expect you guys to give him a proper razzing even though I am certain you will like him too. :thumb up: I've invited a few others I think will fit in well with our group and will let you know...

Cloggy, it is just so cool to see all those modern machines parked with a backdrop of castles and stone courtyards. We don't get much of that here in southern California. I hope your friend's health gets better so he can join in too!! I hope this doesn't post up huge... but here is where I...

Sounds like you had an awesome time. Glad to hear the house and puppy survived :thumbup: your son did well!! Thanks so much for posting!

My cell phone always thinks it's in Mexico when we do this ride. Does that count? Blah

Count me in! I think my definition of "short notice" has been redefined in the past few months. More than 12 hrs notice is advanced planning now! :D I predict an awesome ride.

Wow! Amazing pictures VR. One of my best friends was just in Tokyo last week when her husband had to go on business last minute. I haven't had a chance to talk much with her, but two things she mentioned were how clean the city is and how fantastic the food is. I hope to go someday. You're...
