• The Love Ride 2011

  by HDBeech October 24, 2011
  The Love Ride was our 1st motorcycle event that Lucky and I went to.  Did not go on a Harley, but a Suzuki.  It wasn't even ours!  We borrowed it from a friend, who never rode it.  Eventually, we did buy it and I got my motorcycle license with it and it became mine, after Lu...

  by HDBeech July 11, 2011
  Last Saturday, July 9, 2011, was the 32 Annual Mooning of the Amtrak - the 3rd year after the big police fiasco at the Mooning in 2008.  Lucky and I decided that we are still going to go! We met up with Rick (HBRick) and his wife, Debi, at Cook's Corner around 11am.  It was a beautif...

• Short Sunday Morning Ride

  by HDBeech March 28, 2011
  Lucky and I got up early yesterday to ride to the Long Beach Swap Meet to meet Andrea with Wrapter.  It was freezing!  At least to me:  60 degrees. As Lucky was putting on his chaps, I had to text Rex The Road Dog and tell him about it!  Rex does not own chaps, even though he li...

• Riding Along Pacific Coast Highway

  by HDBeech March 9, 2011
  Southern California weather has sure been odd.  One day we are flooded with rain and the next day, we can wear our bikinis and wash the bike! Saturday, March 5, 2011, was a perfect day for a ride.  We had just gotten over a couple of days of rain - and I don't want to hear those bi...

• Christmas Dieting

  by HDBeech December 16, 2010
  I hate this time of year. Not for its crass commercialism and forced frivolity, but because it’s the season when the food police come out with their wagging fingers and annual tips on how to get through the holidays without gaining 10 pounds. You can’t pick up a magazine without finding a list of ho...

• American Heat

  by HDBeech October 18, 2010
  Last Saturday, October 16th, Lucky and I decided to go to American Heat in Palm Springs.  We planned on going the scenic route ...  aka: Ortega Highway ... but the weather changed our minds.  We woke up to sprinkles and lots of wet roads.  We left around 7:30 am and I know our n...

  by HDBeech August 28, 2010
  We started out from South Orange County, CA on Tuesday morning, August 3rd.  Weather was looking good, and I was "praying" for no rain in Sturgis when we got there.  Unfortunately, my prayers were answered...get to that later. Out on the bike at 5am to Barstow to meet up with HarleyMan, D...

• California ABATE State Run - Kernville, CA

  by HDBeech September 21, 2009
  There is no easy way to get to Kernville!  But if you do make it, it’s worth it!  Lucky and I went to the California Abate Rally this past weekend in Kernville at Frandy Campground. We left around 7:30 am and met up with our good friends Russ & Cindy (BikerCrap) in Norco.  From...

• Hollister (GTMC) 2009 Rally at Bolado Park

  by HDBeech July 9, 2009
  For the first time, I did not have to get up at 4:00 am to leave for a Rally.  I worked until 11:00 am, came home and Lucky and I were on our way to Hollister.  It's only about 350 miles from our house and we figured about 5 to 6 hours.  Wrong. I assumed (and you know what happe...

• Redwood Run 2009 Recap

  by HDBeech June 15, 2009
  The Redwood Run Motorcycle Rally & Biker Party in Piercy, CA is my FAV Rally.  It does wear on my butt for the long trip, approximately 650 miles, but definitely worth it.  This year was no exception. Out of the house and on the bike at 4:30 am Thursday morning, June 11, 2009.  M...

• Laughlin River Run 2009

  by HDBeech May 2, 2009
  Lucky and I decided to go to Laughlin this year for the River Run Rally, but we planned to get there a few days before the Rally started.  I hate being on the freeway with the Bike, so we decided to go the desert way.  I didn't count on a heatwave in April!  It was 100 to 110 deg...

We headed south and then up over the Ortega Highway into Lake Elsinore to meet up with our good friends Russ & Cindy. We ...
