Part 1: Instead of yet another boring summer trek to the races at Laguna Seca, three non-VFR friends joined me for a two week gallivant around California this spring. Dave and Bart on DL650s, Tony on his ZRX1200, and me on my ’09 VTec. First step is a ferry trip to Port Angeles, Wa. Washington & Oregon may have their charms, but to me they just get in the way. Thus, I-5 all the way to California. The previous two days’ cool overcast became light rain and fog at Mt Shasta, with temps barely above freezing for the next 40 miles. Who knew that vented boots let in cold air ;-P Thankfully, my Gerbing electric jacket and heated grips saved the day. That and a great breakfast at JJ’s Cafe in Old Station. The skies cleared on the way to Susanville and on to Reno, and stayed that way till we left California more than a week later. On Day 4 we finally found an entertaining road, Ca 89 over 8,900’ Monitor Pass, which is more open and flowing than many mountain passes. Markleeville, about 5 miles north, is a convenient spot to wet your whistle should you feel the need, then a short riverside run past campers and fly fishers gets you to the junction. From pine forest to sage desert in 18 miles, ending at US 395. Despite being a major 4-lane highway(at times) US 395 is actually pretty entertaining. Temperatures are moderate even in summer, due to the high elevation. Take 5 at Conway Summit for the fantastic view of Mono Lake and the town of Lee Vining. From there, Tioga Pass leads into Yosemite NP once it opens for the season. Further south, the valley towns of Bridgeport and Bishop, where we overnighted, are both worth a visit. More to come… Edit: forgot one photo - LB

Here are a couple of videos from my tour of California this spring. I opted to face the camera forwards and chase my pals. First is the climb eastward up Monitor Pass on Hwy 89: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmt_nfxiT-U The second is is on the PCH heading inland from the coast to the junction with Hwy 101 at Leggett. Btw, don't waste your time there, Garberville is a few miles north and a quirky little town that's worth a visit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7tHY8ICmLE A couple more are in the works and might come later. I tried different settings but there is still some pixellation.

I've got a 2004 VFR800F that has some issues with stalling out this year. I just got it on the road a few weeks ago after being stored for the winter (outside, but tightly cocooned in multiple tarps) It ran well for 3 commuter trips (all stop and go), then started acting up. Had a couple of random stalls, I didnt think about it at the time (figure i was being ham-fisted on the controls). Symptoms starts and runs fine when cold runs well for about 5 min until warm (~175F) stalls when the throttle is chopped at a stop. hard to restart occasionally stalls at >3k when running normally. hard to restart immediately. If it sits for a min, it start just fine Its very intermittent. May run fine for 5 min then act up. When its acting up, the throttle control is not smooth When it dies, it doesn't sputter and die. Its running, then dead, like there's an electrical problem the EFI light came on once and flashed. But when I tried to get codes jumpering the 2 pin ECU plug, no codes came up. ~24,000 km Full service last year: new plugs, filters etc. new battery this year. The only thing that happened between running and not where: new tank of gas and a "not so great" station - but hell I fill my car up there horrendous rainstorm that soaked the bike - but that's happened before So I'd suspected water in the tank - but that should flush out quickly. Ideas gratefully accepted, so I can get back to riding. (and put my Saab in the shop ) Thanks Olaf

This was shot last year on my way to Laguna Seca. Camera troubles meant no video from this year. Hopefully, I have figured out the correct way to embed the youtube link. I misaligned the camera hence the funky framing. Shot with a POV.HD camera and edited with FInal Cut Pro X. I am still struggling with getting the right sound. Wind noise is dominant and even the Leo Vince's I added this year would have been drowned out.
