On the road again

Left Fresno and headed southeast, arrived in Palm Desert safe and sound, wind was howling like crazy all through the desert part of the run. 100_1504.jpg 100_1505.jpg

Got a not too bad spot here, only 30 amp though, but there is a row of trees protecting us from the wind.

We sure miss our little guy already, usually this morning we would be watching him for the day.

A check up


We moved over the weekend to Paul Evert's RV to have the coach checked over and the oil changed prior to heading east. The move over was uneventful and now it parking lot life for a week. I'm sure looking forward to getting back on the road.

Ride to Wave Organ in San Francisco

Ride to the Wave Organ
100_1490-1.jpg 100_1491-1.jpg 100_1493-1.jpg
Left early, 630am, cold and then windy after Merced. Had a nice breakfast with Frank and Chelle, then rode to Mountain View where we hooked up with Gary and Claudia on the Hondapatomus. Gary led the way through San Francisco, the scenic route past Fisherman's Wharf to the Yacht Club in the Marina District. We explored the Wave Organ but the tide was wrong for us to really hear it. Interesting nevertheless and we need the walkabout anyway.

Then we rode to Twin Peaks and had a great view of all of San Francisco. Watch the tourists play "Dodge the Bus and steal their parking", what fun.

After that we headed for "The Burger Joint" it's listed as number 16 of the top 20 burgers you have to eat before you die. The burger is made with Niman beef (whatever that is) and was quite good. Chelle, our resident vegetarian, had the Veggie Burger and she gave it a thumbs up too. After lunch we all split our own directions and braved the wind all the way home.

Had a great visit with Cuzn Frank last weekend. Manage to get three items done for KT, 1. Change oil and filter, 2. Install Corbin heated seat, 3. Re-attach handle in trunk for helmet hook. Got to ride the cobwebs outta KT also. Had a wonderful dinner with Bob and Dorothy also and celebrated good OLD Bob's birthday!!! 100_1478.jpg 100_1481.jpg

Lousy weather day

Went ridin anyway!
Yesterday the weather was perfect, I didn't ride though, planned to ride today. Get up this am and overcast, windy, just plain crappy. I say, "So what, I'm riding" First I headed south, then changed my mind and headed north, didn't like that so turned again and headed east. As I got out of the valley into the foothills the wind seemed to die down. I'm riding along, kinda have a general idea of where I am, not exact though, but doesn't seem to matter, I've pretty much got the whole road to myself. Then I round a corner and by golly, I've arrived at Humphrey's, which I have been to twice but never from this direction. And there's practically a car show there. 100_1465.jpg 100_1466.jpg 100_1467.jpg 100_1468.jpg 100_1470.jpg 100_1473.jpg
Ferrari's, Ford GT40's, Cobra's, Mustang GT350 and a GT 500 and Dodge Vipers. Bryan, from the Pashnit forum, on his new Ducati wanted his pic taken with a Ferrari. There were a few motorcycles there too. After leaving Humphrey's and getting out of the hills, the wind was still blowing like crazy, actually picked up a bit. So I was glad to get straight away back and put Smokin' away.
