    I had more than your average amount of fun this weekend. If you look at the corner right under the white shade you will see me and my honey back stage at the Bad Company concert at Redwood Run

    HOT hot n hot here,folks were passing out from the heat saturday,over the hill where its more intense.we hovered around 90 all day here.Took my wheel into have a new tire mounted & went to a shop locally I just found on the web,owned by a veteran.Midnite Mechanix in Hayward Ca.They did an excellent job,knew exactly what I meant when I requested spoke mounted weights.Unlike the big chain mtrcycle shops,who look at you like wtf kinda weights???duh LOL came home & put the new wheel back on the bike,then took her for a test ride, sweeet !!!
    Sunday ended up being quiet & a lot kooler,went for a quick ride out the canyon n back about 30 miles or so,the scoot handled really well.Now I need to address some other maintenance stuff thats overdue.

    Usually the run-off between where I mow to and the woods drains well with gravity, but with the ground being saturated I had to go deeper.
    At least it was easy digging being wet. :-)

    Unfortunately I was forced to endure watching hundreds of half naked and some naked women cool themselves off in the Eel river at the Redwood Run. Great music and good friends made the weekend great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See you all there next year!!

    There everywhere, there everywhere.
    Gazoodles of bikes out today. I made a 450 mile loop today. Took in 3 states and met a lot of wonderful bikers today. During the entire trip there was only one road I did not meet a bikers on, but trust me it was a really, really back road that only a local would travel. I took in an antique car show that was very nice. I will try to post a few pic of some really notable cars that were there The "Yellow Rose" is safely back in her place of rest for the night.

    Spent my weekend wrenching on the scoot doing some over due maintenance,minor yet necessary.
    Eliminated some annoying squeaks n rattles too.readjusted my bags.

    The more I learn about my motorcycle the more I realize how much more I need to learn.

    All in all great weather here & took a couple of shakedown cruises & all was great !!
    I am blessed to be living in such a great state for riding motorcycles,overall.This weekend
    drivers were real courteous & aware.Was even gettin the wave from folks on mopeds

    Had a great family weekend for father's day.  All the kids came by for a BBQ and we had a absolutely great day.  Except I kept dozing off because of the pain meds.

    Here are the father's in the family with the kids... Me with my three; Christine, Ronnie and Riley... My son Ronnie with his two; Kaitlynn & Brandon... and my son-in-law Ken with Ella (my newest grand daughter.  This is a fantastic time in my life because every year or two we add someone else to the family!

    Well couldn't do all that much of course, but we still had a great weekend. Saturday one of Laura's friends came by and kept her company all day while I watched a bunch of different motorsports on TV. Sunday we had our good friends Russ & Cindy (BikerCrap) and Kevin & Bea come by and bring us some lunch. Although I was a little jealous watching as they all pulled away on their bikes.

    After lunch was our first real outing since the accident. We got Laura in her wheel chair to go watch our son's HS basketball team win the first of the summer tournament. After that we went to the grocery store with my son pushing Laura in the wheel chair and me pushing the buggy. It don't sound like much, but after a couple of weeks of being laid up in the house, it was a GREAT time!!!
