In September I rode my 07 G.S. out to California with the thought that it would be great to store a bike their over the winter, flying out from time to time for a ride.
The trip out went well except for these unique hightlights.
1. Near Elko NV a trucker didn't think I gave him enought room to merge so he chased
me at 95 mph, running up on my tail to make a point?
2. Outside of Truckee Ca. a pickup truck hauling four ATV's dropped a five gallon can
of gasoline that did flips in front of me and bounced off of my right knee.
3. When I arrived in San Fran. I rented a car for a day and within five minutes I was
pulled over by the CHP.......I didn't know it was now illegal to chat on a handheld
cell phone while driving in CA. This was the first time I've been stopped in 25 yrs.
4. After storing my bike for one month in my friends car port, his neighbor reported
me to the Ca. Highway Patrol for having an unregistered vehicle in state.
Google: CHP Cheaters.....it's really interesting! I had to explain I hadn't moved
Calif. but was just visiting.
I'm back in Montana today and I went for a ride in Bozeman with the Temp. at a beautiful 72!
The photo was taken at Bridger Golf course about noon today.
Cheers!

This town barn stands ready with a supply of road salt.
But for now the roads are clean. Temps didn't make it to 30 today.

It was an uncharacteristicly balmy day in southern Wyoming, so I rode to Cheyenne and stopped at Vedauwoo on the way back.

Castles, Wienermobile and Beemermobile.......
Having left Montana in order to escape winter for a couple of days, I stumbled across the "wienermobile" a real piece of americana. Photo was taken Jan. 7, just before a ride to the Valley of Fire.
Cheers!

I'm lost. I've gone to find myself. If I get back before I return. Please ask me to wait.

Yesterday most of the ice had melted off the side streets. It was a cloudless day with little wind and the temperature had finally climbed into the 40s. So I rode out to the next town - 30 miles away - an abandoned railroad stop. It's just a straight, flat two-lane, but it was great to be back on the bike!

The roads are clear for the moment, so I took a ride up to "Bridger Bowl" ski station just outside of Bozeman, MT.
I can just about taste spring......
I went out to escape winter for the day and took a ride into Red Rock Canyon near Las Vegas. What a beautiful area and the temp. jumped up close to 80 F......loved it!
