That's great Riding over there Twizted, and 120 East of 395 is Fun , We would use Levining to spend 3 nights and Do day Rides from there .

 

bastach.. looks beautiful man, i'm envious.

i was going to use the bike today to run down into west virginny for a bit but the mrs reminded, yeah the 30's aint gonna kill ya, but one of those idiots in a hurry to get back home from grandmas turkey might..

glad i listened, some douche in a beemer ignored the 4 20' signs that the lane he was in, was an exit only, then he tried to pass me and a tractor trailer only to find out the lane ended and neither the semi, myself or anybody else was letting him in. he ended up getting jammed up in traffic and losing about 4 spots or so in the line of traffic.. dumas.

 

Meh. Anyone can ride when it's 70+ outside. Out here it got up to a whopping 45F, so I adjusted the idle on the Honda and went out for a couple of hours. Stopped at an ice cream shop for a cup of soft serve and talked bikes with a guy who had just gotten off of work.

Why? Just because I could.

 

Well it was 35* when I started the day.

 

Just to make you feel even better (if possible) forecast here for tonight is 3 to 6 inches of white stuff.

 

Palomar and Julian are great, but they get old after a while. I just google'd the Ortega ride, will have to do some more research on that one. Tks!

 

Can't believe you were able to survive a ride, over 2 hours, in a bike without a fairing, heated seats, LED headlight, custom shocks, footboards, neumatic seats, GPS, heated grips, lighted controls, saddle bags and tour pack.

Kidding of course, but it is great to see someone swing a leg over whatever bike they ride, and head out on the road.

Along with some buddies, we just made this same trip. Started in San Diego (great riding area) and hugged the coast until it got foggy. Checked the weather conditions, and flipped over the foothills to 101 until it got too hot to enjoy. Flipped back to the coast, where it was again sunny. Did this all the way up to Canada. Drove to the top of Vancouver island and Took ferry up inland passage to Pt. Rupert, and headed inland to Banff. Returned down Idaho, and then flipped back and forth between the warm inland and cooler coast. Just followed the good weather and came upon some fantastic roads.

Guess my point, is that the Highway beacons. Dont fuss so much about the bike, the roads and the weather. Adapt and overcome any issues, and enjoy the ride. (Pretty cool about the Zebra's though)

When you get on your bike, you soon forget about politics, taxes, guns, job issues, and family drama. (keep those things for the forums) That is the magic of a Harley on the open road.

 

Thanks Tri, Man I have some good storys about Hermosa back in the 69-70s, people use to live in the fast lane till the wheels fell off.

 

I was there too sunny and 80!!! Rode in at shirt muahaha
