  2. Bay Area roll call ride 2018 13 Apr 2018 01:01 One of these days we'll join you on a coast ride, unfortunately cant make this one.. Looking forward to seeing all of you in the Sierras later this summer!
  3. Golden / Silver State 2017 - Oct 6, 7, 8 - Kernville, CA 17 Sep 2017 14:14 The Mrs and I will be riding that weekend but were looking more into Northern CA. I've done a lot of guy trips this year and the Mrs and I weren't able do our usual multi day ride so she wants to just chill with her old…

  6. Ecn Memorial Ride - NorCal / Sierras - July 22 20 Jul 2017 01:07 Planning to meet the group similar to last year near Walker River, grab lunch with everyone and ride with you toward Auburn. Thinking of the nice rain shower we had last year, we could use some rain now. The smoke from…
  7. Ecn Memorial Ride - NorCal / Sierras - July 22 15 Jul 2017 14:19 Glad I checked the forum today and saw this ride. I think a memorial ride is a great idea and share similar feelings about the passing of Ed. He will be missed and was one of the most passionate riders I've had the…
  8. Laguna Seca Track Day 2 May 2017 23:20 Glad you had a fun and safe track day. The pro's make it look so easy and effortless, quite the contrary. After a 20 min session I'm pretty spent, thats not even pushing race pace the full session. I'm considering…
  9. ECN Down 18 Feb 2017 17:23 Appreciate the update but was hoping for better news, very tragic. Will always remember the great times we shared together but unfortunately we never had the opportunity for you to show me around your favorite back…
  10. PCH-SR128 Ride January 22 2 Feb 2017 20:52 Looked like a great outing. Once the snow melts back and I can get the trailer out I am going to load the bikes and head to the foothills.
  11. Have you lost a friend or loved one to a motorcycle accident?? 8 Nov 2016 15:06 Whenever I hear of an MC accident I always wonder what the circumstances were, rider error, alcohol, left turner, etc. I think there is value in learning about crashes so we can try to prevent the same mistake and…
  12. Riding quotes 13 Sep 2016 21:37 Some variations of this around. When life throws you a curve, twist the throttle and lean into it.
  13. Golden / Silver State 2016 - September 10 & 11, Kernville, CA 12 Sep 2016 14:34 At that point 4 VFRs. Glad you clarified Casey Stoner shirt and not just stoner shirt!
  14. Golden / Silver State 2016 - September 10 & 11, Kernville, CA 12 Sep 2016 04:01 Enjoyed seeing you guys and tagging along for part of your ride, had to represent the Silver state after all. Still laughing at how we meet up. We literally turned around about 2 min prior on 395 and started or way back…
  15. ECN Down 12 Sep 2016 03:33 Just learned of this a few days ago. Always hate to hear when there is a MC accident and when someone you know is involved it hits very close to home. Real tragic accident and nothing he could have done to avoid it. His…
  16. Golden / Silver State 2016 - September 10 & 11, Kernville, CA 9 Sep 2016 14:14 If we can coordinate the Mrs and I will plan to meet the group at the base of Monitor Pass and hwy 395 near Topaz Sunday. We will do a sighting lap on Monitor and meet you at the wide pull out right after you turn onto…
  17. Golden / Silver State 2016 - September 10 & 11, Kernville, CA 25 Aug 2016 13:46 As of right now I wont be able to make the full ride. If I can get away for a day and meet you like last year I will let you know.
  18. Sierra Nevada - Passes Open Tour - June 4th 17 Jun 2016 03:02 You have some winners there for pics, too bad the site dosent have a featured pic of the day any more!. Glad you guys had a great time.
  19. Golden / Silver State 2016 - September 10 & 11, Kernville, CA 14 Jun 2016 14:08 In. We will likely come down Sat and meet the group at Shaver Lake then ride Sunday together.
  20. Sierra Nevada - Passes Open Tour - June 4th 28 May 2016 01:06 Great route. I usually do Monitor back and forth so havent really thought about my favorite direction, both are good. I rode it two weeks ago and there are some fresh tar snakes on the east slope, cant miss them! I will…
  21. May 7Th Bay Area Roll Call Ride - Fact Or Fiction? 9 May 2016 01:47 Looked like a great time on the coast and good turn out. Weather finally turning nice in Reno after 4 days of rain.
  22. Time For All Dogs To Be Dead 18 Sep 2015 02:08 Your pic of Mt Hood brought back memories of my trip a couple years ago. Cold wet and no mountain in sight. You've probably already past thorough OR but keep an eye on tribal police they like to enforce the 55mph limit…
  23. Time For All Dogs To Be Dead 16 Sep 2015 00:00 I'm really enjoying reading about your trip. Thanks for sharing your experience and making it so fun to read. Something about long trips via Motorcycle allows you to be much more connected to the experience. Only…
  24. Golden / Silver State 2015 - 8/29 & 8/30 Kernville, Ca 4 Sep 2015 22:47 I've teethed on an old SLR that is probably an antique now. Old school, no autofucus, manual shutter, 35mm film. Thats going back a few years, but good way to learn the basics. Sending PM for full size pics.
  25. Golden / Silver State 2015 - 8/29 & 8/30 Kernville, Ca 4 Sep 2015 00:25 Enjoyed those, nice to have a photographer along. They are all good, but I like the action pic of my 2nd gen with your 7th gen in the background. The tar snake even says sexy. The close up of the bikes lined up on…
  26. Golden / Silver State 2015 - 8/29 & 8/30 Kernville, Ca 31 Aug 2015 13:55 This pic captures the essence of our Sunday, perfect. It was one of those zen days that reminds me why I love this sport. Brain thanks for organizing the ride, enjoyed riding with you and TC and meeting St Stephen.…
  27. Golden / Silver State 2015 - 8/29 & 8/30 Kernville, Ca 27 Aug 2015 04:02 I am planning to do a day trip to Sonora Sunday and should be rolling into town about lunch time, ~12:30. Reno to Sonora is ~3.5 hrs about the same as from Shaver Lake. Would be great to meet up and have lunch together,…
  28. Golden / Silver State 2015 - 8/29 & 8/30 Kernville, Ca 23 Aug 2015 16:42 Just finished a three day backpack trip near Mammoth and the smoke all along 395 is terrible from the fire in Kings Canyon. Talked it over with the Mrs and I already did a ride near Shasta in the smoke this summer so…
  29. Golden / Silver State 2015 - 8/29 & 8/30 Kernville, Ca 15 Aug 2015 13:37 BrianF RC1237V 6AM sounds early, but the map says 8 hours and 51 minutes, I'm not sure if it is accurate, but I'm sure I will need to stop for food, gas, and bathroom at some point. Straight through, at thier estimate…
  30. Golden / Silver State 2015 - 8/29 & 8/30 Kernville, Ca 13 Aug 2015 22:37 Duc2V4 Ok, looks like I'll be in. Haven't figured out when I'll be leaving but most likely Friday afternoon. Coming home is the bigger question... You must have found a way to make the Mrs happy so you can get away for…
  31. Golden / Silver State 2015 - 8/29 & 8/30 Kernville, Ca 6 Aug 2015 20:54 Hotels are booked. Staying at the Kernville Inn Fri night and Shaver Lake Village Sat. Looking forward to a little vacation time! These will be new roads for me so I will be more in tour mode and taking in the scenery.
  32. Golden / Silver State 2015 - 8/29 & 8/30 Kernville, Ca 31 Jul 2015 13:29 Route looks great. I would come down 395 on Friday and meet at Kernville. Any hotel recommendations for either night?
  33. Electrickery Ii - Saga Of A Fried Stator 22 Jul 2015 13:39 Good you were able to complete the trip, long way from home to have a problem. About a year ago I installed a small digital voltmeter near my dash so I am able to monitor battery voltage. Wont prevent a problem but with…
  34. Golden / Silver State 2015 - 8/29 & 8/30 Kernville, Ca 9 Jul 2015 19:22 Doesn't your wife travel with you, bring her. Monica is planning to come this trip again, so sure she would enjoy her company. Quick look at the map and its possible to stay in the Mtns away from Fresno between Oakhurst…
  35. Golden / Silver State 2015 - 8/29 & 8/30 Kernville, Ca 9 Jul 2015 14:26 The roads and scenery around Kings Canyon / Sequoia look great. I'm being a little selfish and trying to make this a loop from Reno. Was originally considering a CW loop down 395 and up 49 when we were discussing Point…
  36. Gold & Silver State 2015 - Southern Sierras - 8/29 & 8/30 22 May 2015 01:18 Looking forward to it! Aug 29 and 30 works best for me. I would need to do some type of point to point on Sat to start heading back North toward Reno. Liking the maps for Day 1.
  37. Bay Area / Central Coast Spring Overnighter 2016 – May 21? 21 Mar 2015 01:47 Route looks great just wish you were a little closer. I have 3 day ride Memorial day to the N coast already so that is my big trip in May. Would like to explore more roads down your way sometime.
  38. The State Of Alone - A Month In Colorado (Non-Vfr) 21 Feb 2015 03:43 Enjoying the scenery. Keep the pics coming. Usually I have to haul a 40lb pack up 20+ miles on my back to enjoy views like that, and I carry that same two leg chair! Thanks for sharing. Hope the wrist is ready for some…
  39. Heli Bars Vs Handlebar Conversion Vs ? 19 Sep 2014 13:43 I used all the stock cables and brake lines when installing the LSL kit, and that's what is recommended with the kit. The throttle cable does get a bit tight at full turn but not a problem.
  40. Heli Bars Vs Handlebar Conversion Vs ? 11 Sep 2014 02:07 When I purchased my 05 used it had Heli bars installed and I would experience wrist pain on longer rides. I decided to replace the Heli bars with the LSL one piece bar kit from Spiegler. I ordered the standard bar that…
  41. California Tour 2014 6 Jun 2014 13:28 Enjoyed hearing about your trip and enjoyed the pics. So many places to see, in CA. Whens your next trip? We are getting ready for our ride up your way, one week to go!!
  42. Anyone Using Hid Headlights? 5 Jun 2014 14:25 I installed LED H4 to replace original bulbs. LEDs are the way to go, plug and play 2x the light with 1/2 the power. LED is positioned similar to filament bulb so light pattern similar to stock.
  43. Bay area norcal day ride tahoe sierras may 31 16 May 2014 14:31 I'm still planning on the ride. Something we may want to consider is a short out and back to Loon Lake, turn off from Wentworth springs. Haven't been there but Butler maps shows it as a "gold". Might be a good rest stop…
  44. Bay area norcal day ride tahoe sierras may 31 24 Apr 2014 14:32 Count me in! Great looking route and have been wanting to meet some VFR riders. I would be coming over from Reno so my vote would be a start of 9:30 at the earliest, let things warm up a bit. Either Sat or Sun is good.…
  45. Looking For A Vintage, Very Elusive Part 30 Jul 2013 03:47 Its possible the part is the same on other years or models. Maybe post a pic of the part to see if someone can ID it on a different year.
