    With Tigger already fixed up (actually I snuck back to San Ramon over the weekend to pick up my bike from the dealership before heading back for all that fun in the sky in Fresno), I headed out on my own again for a couple of days. Mike and Kati were heading to Lake Powell the most direct route...

    Re: Flying with the West Coast Ravens Formation Team Catching up to the first big group. It was pretty wild to have 20 planes all flying in a tight formation only a few feet away from each other. Everyone coming back for a landing. Everyone landing single file even though we took...

    Flying with the West Coast Ravens Formation Team The next few days seem almost like a dream. Of course there is nothing like a little turbulence or a sharp turn by an expert pilot to wake you up to reality. Tim was leading a Formation clinic for about 20 other pilots, so I got to...

    California's Pacific Coast Take 2 With Tigger still in the shop, Mike’s friend Doug was generous enough to lend me his steed; a 2005 BMW GS for a few days and Mike and I were off again. Thank you very much Doug, the bike ran like a champ! We did an encore run down the Pacific coast, just like...

    Re: Another Round in Sunny California Yeah I've seen some of their vids, but I did not ride the bike through their garden. CalMoto had the best service of any place that we stopped at while on the road so far.

    Another Round in Sunny California With the temp soaring back to life on the other side of the Sierra’s, we were pleasantly thawed out by the time we arrived at Mike’s place in San Ramon. First order of business when we got back was FOOD! I translated the growling emanating from within my...

    Manzanar, Mono Lake, Bodie...oh my What do a WWII concentration camp, a 760,000 year old lake and a ghost town have in common? They can all be found in California and be visited in the same day. Oh and there’s also a stunning view of the Sierra’s from each of them. Ok so the Ghost town doesn’t...

    I'm baaack, in the USA First order of business once I got clear of the border was to fuel up the bike. $2.19/gallon - nice! I'm used to paying 13.57 pesos per litre which is about twice the price. I was also able to use up my remaining Pesos to pay for my gas at the Circle K. Speaking of...

    Mexico, 4 months or 4 days We arrived in Mexico on December 6th, and I finally pulled away from what was our home for the past 2 months on April 6. I made one last stop to feed the puppy all the left overs I had at the house before hitting the slippery streets of San Cris. Before I could even...

    Re: And then there was one! Actually we were carrying 2 spares for the ignition and Lori had duplicate keys for everything. I had kept the one spare (for the ignition and the side cases) but Lori had the only spare for the disc lock that was attached to the bike. I recently heard a similar...

    And then there was one! And then there was one! Earlier this afternoon I dropped Lori off at the ADO bus station where she caught a bus that will take her to Cancun. At the moment she’s almost halfway into her 18 hour ride there, a bus ride I would later find out took more like 21 hours. That...

    Re: Adios Sun Cristobal - Part II C'mon, just look at those eyes. Every day on our way down to school we walked past him and he would just stare at us with those incredibly sad eyes. So we started to bring food for him everyday. Sometimes some left over chicken, other times some pepperoni...
