Robert - Thanks for the video! Haven't seen it until now.. Should you happen to be close to the Trondheim area, you are welcome to visit. I live 5-10 minutes from the airport. We have several hundreds among your fellow countrymen staying in our local community of about 23 000 people, in Stjørdal. They contribute both at different local arrangements like the world rallycross championship ( https://hellrx.com/program/ ), and to the local economy, besides having their military training. https://www.usmclife.com/2017/01/lejeune-marines-deploy-norway-irking-russia-first-time-since-wwii/ Jim Thanks for the nice photo from a great day in SD! I sent you an email with some pictures. If you haven't seen it (?) , check your spamfolder. Maybe it got trapped there..

I got a message from Wierdrider a couple of days ago, and just logged in to this account, for the first time in many months. I have very good memories from SDAR meetings, as well as trips together with danrider, Wierdrider and Randy. Hope you are all doing fine. Would be great to see any of you in Norway, or other places in Europe. Best wishes from norwegian2015_2016, Stjørdal, Norway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stjørdal

Jim, you are right! Noticed one at Hell Station, a few days ago. Notice the can to the left in the picture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_Station https://www.google.no/maps/place/Hell,+7517+Hell/@63.4484835,10.8854243,3304m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x466d16fb3ae6fd6d:0x1596b57897c52a6b!8m2!3d63.4451715!4d10.9052167 I'm thinking about San Diego and SDAR people about every day.. Hope to meet some of you guys again soon, in the not too distant future, on my side of the atlantic, or your.. Have a great weekend!

Thanks for the very nice Idyllwild / Escondido trip! A 10 minute video from when we left Idyllwild, is here: And Jim, regarding eating with the finger: You are welcome to Norway, to teach me how. ;-) Thanks again, to you, who took me to two trips during this last week, and provided bikes and great company. Hope to see you again in the not too distant future,and welcome to cross the atlantic..

Congratulations, Jim! Nice shirt!

Thank you very much! We had a great day, and Wierdrider has made a nice write-up yesterday, and today. Best wishes for you and SDAR for the future.

We had some really nice trips! Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the nice write-up from a special and very great day, Jim! It was great to see more of the areas around here, and off course there is nothing like that of doing that on a motorcycle. It was also great to have Randy's company up to the top of Otay mountain among other places. A very memorable day, and very kind of you to lend out your bike(s) (after the XL250R sold much more quickly than what I expected). Hope to see you or some other SDAR people in Norway some day, and get the possibility to lend out a bike and take somebody around.. It has been really great to stay in SD for a year, and meet some of you SDAR members.Thanks again!

Yes! That was a great trip. Sunderland Dam and Black Mountain. And then a nice chat at Turkey Inn, Ramona, struggling to maintain fluid balance. ;-)

Thanks for the great initiative! I have really enjoyed being in San Diego, and would off course appreciate such a trip! Thanks for the picture above, also. That was a fine evening in Escondido, with some great food and people. And, as Dan mentioned, we had a couple of great trips around SD. One included Palomar Mountain. The other ride included Black Mountain. Plus much more. Really great!! Maybe see some of you in Norway some time, also..

This seems like fun. I hope to be able to join in, coming to the gas station in Alpine at 9:00.

I enjoyed it. It was a lot of classic cars driving up and down the main street in Ramona. Many spectators were sitting in their chairs, along the street, watching. There was also at least one place with some good, live music. I believe that it's similar every Thursday evening, for several months. Thanks for the Escondido recommendation. Youtube:

Seems like there are many cars and motorcycles gathering in Ramona on certain Thursdays. http://ramonajournal.com/cruising-ramonas-main-drag-is-popular-on-thursday-nights-p7104-279.htm I plan to go there this evening. Want to be there not much later than 7 PM, which means I will probably leave Carmel Valley around 5.45 PM, go through Rancho Santa Fe and Escondido.. My phone number can be found in the members forum in case somebody would like to get in touch..

It was great to meet you, and see the nice XL350, and to listen to the engine! Sounded like a very healthy and well tuned engine to me. :-)

You must definately be a very brave man! ;-) A 2 week bike trip sounds great, but... I wish you the best of luck in dealing with your wife, and with your strategies to cope with it for days and months to come! :-)
