There's Tim assessing the damage and rescue plan for Justin's Triumph..
So he came in to the corner a little hot.. lost it in the gravel at the edge of the road.. He slid to a stop, but the bike flew over the edge of this little cliff.. the background in the photo above this one would be off to the right..
yeah., it was pretty freaky.. But he was ok, fixed up his bike and rode it home!
The view from Forest Road 1. My personal favorite so far.. Unfortunately we couldn't go all the way over the ridge because of fallen trees from a storm last week..
but it's a beautiful, beautiful view.
even a little snow right before we had to turn around..
plenty of debris in the road.. big trees.
Check out this Harley floor board! these dudes can RIDE! I've never seen a Harley ridden like this in my life.. You'd think they were on sportbikes! There were equal size chunks taken out of their exhaust as well..
Mr. Pashnit himself aboard his demo Harley.. REALLY weird to see him on a Harley.
There's the line up.. about 18 people on this tour..
Fairfax-Bolinas Rd. Gorgeous.
This was rolling out of Tim's place in Sunnyvale Friday morning at 5:30 am...
I wasn't happy about it at the time, but little did I know what would be waiting for me on the road...
All in all the tour has been fun.. One more day of riding.. Back down the 1 to San Francisco. Then I'll head back over to Tim's place in Sunnyvale to finish up some work on his FJR and maybe get a new rear tire on the GS..
Tuesday I'm headed to Sopiago to start preparing for the 150-person group that will show up on Friday for the weekend..
I'll try to post more photos of the coast tomorrow, and will certainly get some of the camp up here.. but keep in mind.. I'm not sure if I'll have internet access and I know I won't have cell reception.. bear with me, I'll post as available!
I'll report the final mileage and the winner sometime after Tuesday.. here's a hint: I rolled over 6,000 miles today.

Dude your bike is beautiful, really beautiful! I miss you, wish you were hear for our ride today, but it is just Ohio and all. The best view we might have is Mt. Jeez :-) one day I will actually see it. Ride On My Brother!
Are you going to change the song now?
It's all beautiful Ken...you're the best portable person I ever met...
Dude,
After careful consideration, I came up with
"Das Scoot" for the name. Hard to avoid all the WWII word associations for the name. Can work on more, should you like.
Roll on, lonesome Cowboy.
Dude! If you're gonna be 'Gypsy' then the bike might be 'Rose'.
6K! What was my bid? 4,999 I think; and that was before you anounced the 1K tour. So, I wasn't too far off.
La Ninja just passed 1,600 miles and she too is in dire need of a rear tire; a Pirelli Sport Demon is somewhere between CA and OH.
Oh! Tommy says I can have the tank bag. No rush. But I would like to have that Dragon vid clip when you get a minute.
