Comedy films, joke books, sneezing! Oh sneezing is really good therapy. Poor guy, he must have been out of practice riding... or his bike was jealous of the other bike. Best wishes, quick healing.

You scratched it!

Uh oh , smartass not appreciated, dang, I won't know how to comment anymore. Is there a filter device like spellcheck for dummies like me?

1 as in January? Last I checked thats WINTER, we could start a collection to fly you out there. At least have heated grips, oh and don't wear vented clothes. Ask me how I know.

I will be down the last weekend in February and just happen to have 2.1 fenced acres in campo, its not Ocotillo Wells but is a good jumping off point. If I can get the wifes KTM clutch bled (again), we could ride from there. Maybe we could plan plan something, I can't bring a spare Honda because we are flying in.

Hey Goofy, I spend a lot of time in Post Falls Idaho, Wildwood moved here too. He is 7 minutes away by trail 20 minutes by road. Didn't you move too? Endless logging road riding around here.

No gas, nearly no noise, well as much noise as my kids Barbie jeep ( long ago). Buuuut I don't know, I remember my points screwing up so I'll probably never figure all that mapping stuff out.

Good job, my kid at 26 still says "Dad do you remember that time in the desert when..., believe it was all worth it. Thanks for the smile.

Brrrrrrrr, I'm still thawing from my last "warm" ride. Have fun.

If someone rides with you do you supply cookies? Nice writing.

nuts just nuts, if I buy one will it teach me to ride like that ?

Bummer about the website, hard to participate in events from out of state. I think we have lost a lot of members due to the general fleeing from Cal. Without the website I'll never find anyone on the facebook mess.

Well, Here goes stupidity at its finest. A while ago the wife saw a CB500x a lady was riding when we were at Lolo Hot Springs Montana , and that led to "lets look for one of those". Long story short I posted up here , Wierdrider found one in Orange County. I called, a deal was struck, a buddy of mine went and looked but did not ride it. In the morning I am leaving with a disposable suitcase, full of riding gear, to Orange County hitching or ubering , getting on this bike, and going north. Its only 1400 miles or so. It will be an adventure, and it's all Wierdriders Fault Uncle C.

Well we rode around one of the local lakes today, she only dropped it once at an intersection, grrrrrr. As to the route I came north on it was up out of LA to Bishop, then NE on 6, lots of 6000 foot peaks, stark and far between gas stops, to Boise North on the 95. I thought I would avoid frying and boredom going thru Vegas and Salt Lake. Accomplished that allright.

Only if you duct tape one on And I tryed thrift stores none were open, I should have bought insulated Carharts somewhere. Live and learn, well sometimes that doesn't work for me. Anyway, wife loves it , dressing warm and going riding today.

Well I made it here Thursday afternoon. I wore the right gear for the first day, except the Klim helmet is way noisy. Made it to Bishop, for the first night. It was hot with horrendous cross winds all day. Second day my vented riding gear was a poor choice, I was freezing all day and by dark it started raining, found a hotel by 9 and was so cold I couldn't shift or think. The hotel staff filled out my registration slip for me and ordered me food to go and helped me to my room. I couldn't dial a phone and stuttered so bad I had to show them my I.D. because they couldn't understand me. The next morning I bought duct tape and taped my extra clothes to me as layers and taped a broken bike windshield I found to the front of the bike, I had it stuffed in under my coat the night before and had 5 shirts on. Third day started at 34 degrees, cold all day till I got to Lewiston about one, and started to warm up a little. Made it here by 5:30, I'm still stiff and chilly. Lessons learned: Err on the side of warmth, always have a windshield, wear a quieter helmet, check the bike out closer and take tools in case you can't fit your foot under the shifter, ask for help before you can't. I saw some beautiful country, met some really nice people, I will revisit some of the places I went by again, awesome adventure, just wish I could get warm. Wierdrider would you post the pic I sent you please. Cheers, from a chilly Uncle Champ.

Thanks, heck it's only a 1000 miles

I'm flying to Orange County, sorry for the confusion.

Where you gunna be young man? I can see Montana and I think Canada from here.

My X used to do that no start then fine, whew! went back to a juice battery no more issues. Hmmm.

I'll be darned, Walker, haven't seen you since the root got you. Have a blast, and the wife is letting you back on a bike? About time. Cheers and welcome back.

Go see Mike at El Cajon Auto Trim, he can fix you up.

Quick question, I am redoing my old pontoon boat, new seats , carpet, etc. An old boy stopped by the little warehouse I rented and said you need a burnishing wheel, so I called my Snap-on guy, he didn't know where to get em, went to the parts store, no info. Anybody have the hot tip on buffing up old aluminum pontoons, not super shiny just less rough. Thank You, Uncle C.

450L for sale yet? Congrats on the new bike, awful purdy though.

"so far, hmmm..."
