Close Encounters!

with all sorts of drugs

Looks like a great trip.

Brings a smile to my face every time I see that view. Thanks for showing us where it's at Brian.

you did it! the blue whale looks at home. take care over there.

Nice rack on the back...any idea if you can still get those?

Some major fabrication in process here and a few mysteries..I can see where the foot peg would go in the new bracket but wonder what the story is on the tank. I recall seeing another project with a rectangular header collector but this is different...wonder how that works?

She is in pretty good shape...Pura Vida.

California does have some great sun sets

nice shot ... and good nerves given the car bearing down on you ... LOL.

now that takes the edge off...thanks for sharing

thanks vfrcapn

You know they are going to want that Hubble wide field lens back...amazing shot though.

Thank you Brian.

Thanks Rich...I was really happy with my parking luck that day!

Classic

Hi Rich..we'll take any extra snow you can spare on our side of the Sierras. Most of the lakes over here are meadows.

Kind of funny, like I said it was my first time.

It was Jolon to Mission, got lost a little around the Fort Hunter Ligget gate, got real worried seeing a blocked bridge that looked like it went where I wanted to go but found a road that crossed a dried up river ... if El Nino kicks in, I'd need to find a different route.

Laurales Grade runs from Laguna Seca to Carmel Valley Rd so WSBK may be a good combo. Spring works too.

This was my first time on the road...getting to know this area a bit more.

Thanks didit,

It's a blessing to have a place to ride when the snow chases you out of the mountains.

Thanks Brian...be cool to check this out some time:

They sort of look happy all down the line.

Awesome shot...looks like a wake of twisted pavement beneath your rear wheel.

That is really nice...never been there but your pic makes it clear why folks go.

Nah...IPA has no impact above 3000 feet.

64 oz of 8% of ice cold micro brew IPA for the 2 campers ..dreams do come true.

Can't be California with a lake that full ;-P

BTW rode this whole ride (36 miles) without touching the left handgrip, torn wrist ligaments and all. Yay DCT.

Heh, my physical therepist did NOT prescribe that while recovering from the broken wrist...what's up with that? Take it easy Brian, the collective awaits your return.

Nice pic..and some seriously impressive packing..looks like your pillion has a backrest.
