Cool With Apologies to our Snowbound Brethren...

Living in Kalifornia has some major drawbacks...

- Highest income and sales tax rates in the nation
- Bankrupt gubment
- Wildfires and Earthquakes
- High cost of living (especially in SoCal)

But we do have one thing going for us. 70 degree days in the middle of fvckin' December!
Took a little ride up PCH today and thought I'd share a couple of pics.

I so totally agree. I think it was actually in the 80's. Unfortunately, my riding partner (wife) came up with bronchitis and couldn't take advantage of the weather. But there will be other days. Hope you had a great time Micahpop.

Oh yeah....spent about 4 hours on the RKC this morning, put it in the garage and looked at my other bike.....thought......"Wonder what Steve is up to?" (bro with a BMW 1200 GS). We spent the rest of the day doing dirt/pavement out through Julian/Anza-Borrego. Got home at 1730....what an amazing day! Sure, California is jacked up in a lot of ways, but damn......Now I am drinking a Stone IPA from the Beer Meister (picked up keg at the brewery last week) and planning tomorrow's journey.....For all its faults, I LOVE SoCal.

We got 4 inches of snow. Spend the day wrapping presents at the HD dealer with other club members. Not a total loss.
