Monica!!!!! How cool! I kinda have to stand back from Goop's Triple so I don't drool on it. They are beautiful bikes. I'm going to have to remember to get in touch with you next fall if I ride up there with my Ducati Guy. The past two years we've ridden our bikes up to June Lake and done some...
I know it has been ages since I stopped by to chat. Will you forgive me? I have missed ya'll and feel the need to catch up a bit.
I still have my trusty gsxr, although I am not riding nearly as much as I used to. Of course I used to ride constantly because I had a lot of free time. That has...
It was great to ride with my best riding pals. So much food! And no one would help Jerry.
(Guys, sorry...the few pics I took were blurry...think I smudged the lens cover)
Let's do it again sometime soon.
I finally got a nice long ride in today. Went out to Sage Rd, through Hemet and up to Idyllwild for lunch. Along the way I was reminded of my many FZ Forum friends with whom I've travelled these roads. Motojoe and Mrs on the Space Shuttle were definitely with me today.
Had lunch at the Gnome...
Welcome tdp!
You'll hear lots of great advice on improving your riding skills on this forum. Rumor has it, there are a few MSF instructors who hang out here. I am not one of them but have learned from them even though I'm not on an FZ.
Spring is coming...We've been enjoying it for weeks now...
Thanks to everyone for the wishes, and thanks for posting the pictures Cliff! I especially like that first one. How did you manage to catch all of us with our eyes closed?
It was a great party, I wish everyone could've been there. I'm glad you had fun on the ride, it ended up being a little...
Sorry Jerry! It'll be a few weeks before I can get up your way. And since I haven't been doing as much riding I'll need to work my endurance back up for a long ride. My back doesn't seem to be as strong as it was two years ago!
I visited the Taj Mahal in 2001. That hazy mist that you often see in pictures? Air pollution. It's so bad the marble is pitting and disintegrating. They use electric cars to shuttle visitors there from a remote parking lot, but the whole city is engulfed in thick smog.
On a more positive...
Sorry I missed you guys yesterday. I was at the "Best Coast Beer Fest" at the Embarcadero. I helped with the set up, poured some tastes for attendees, then escaped before everyone got too rowdy.
I got to ride a short little loop late this afternoon. Wow is the weather nice around here! And...
The first time we met, part of what caused me to stop and say hi was that you seemed like a group that valued safety through quality gear. I still feel like a new rider when I'm with you guys though! I've got nothing on your experience...but I'm working on it!
As for gear I'm wishing there was...
We had a great day today! The guys took LOTS of pictures, so I hope they get them posted up.
Jerry was at Motogiro's last night and I joined them for some pizza, brining along Mike & his daughter. This morning, I caught up with J & M and Goop in Ramona as we headed out to the meet up point...
He's been doing some work on his bike and I don't think it'll be back together yet as he's still searching eBay & CL for some parts. I expect it'll just be me.
If anyone needs it, I have a guest room available too (Fri and/or Sat).
