Follow Up Thread to XR1200 Riding in the Sierra

Recommended Posts

After riding and working in the Reno area, it was time to head home down the 395. Had to stop at Iggy and Squiggy's Junction Bar (395 & 208), just north of Topaz Lake, for a burger and a brew. They say I'm a regular now, been there 4 times since 2006.

Nice trip and cool pics. Not sure what dogs like better playing or riding in the car, I think riding in the car probably wins everytime. Mine usually grab a toy or the ball before hauling a$$ into the vehicle and finding the perfect spot for the ride with big smiles on their faces. Wish I could take my furry kids with me to work.

Thanks Kug & Dusty, funny how dogs love road trips. When I first got Cody, he would get car sick...one trip to Yosemite and back cured his car sickness.

Yeah, I'm pretty lucky to be able to take Cody to jobs sometimes. He actually goes to the office with me often now, especially when it's hot out....we don't have AC at home, but the office does. Everyone at the office likes dogs, so he fits in just great.
