Hi,
I'm off this Wednesday and plan to take advantage of the great weather (80+) by riding from LA hwy 101 and 1 to at least Carmel and return.
Anyone else free for a ride (early start)?
Mark

weekends are best for us because we generally dont have to work weekends...
weekdays are bad for us because we generally have to work weekdays... which is the case for tomorrow...
we really do need the locals to show us around those canyons up your way... the 2 will reopen soon between glendale and wrightwood... we have been all over between the 210 and the 138... just have not been between the 14 and the 5...
wishing you a lovely day for your ride to carmel... we expect to see a photographic mototouring report...

Yummy - both the ride and the food. Smart of you to do it mid-week.
(Moved to pics subforum by me.)

what a day... the calm before the storm... wouldnt had been so nice if it were today...
the motobrick... its a fine looking motounit... the ovalback is kinda funky... but a fine specimen indeed...
fish n chips... aint no long john silvers... thats for sure... the food photos are really important...
cant say enough about a coastal ride... its a beauty part of california... you captured it perfectly with your digicam...
thanks for the photographic narrative motobrick mototouring report...
we just learned our job for mon feb 16 and tues feb 17 has canceled... so we will have 2 weekdays off in 2 weeks after all...

I agree the backrest takes away from the clean lines of the bike but my back never gets sore on the long rides. The food was fantastic!
Glad you like the pictures.

I've been trying to beat OTG out of his for two weeks now. Seems to think it will be a crucial selling point of his seat.
