2/28 – All the Lambrettas
28 miles, group ride to the Las Vegas Distillery. Big Paul lent me his Serveta this morning for a quick buzz around town with Paul C and Aaron. Fun times, I managed to somehow ride everyone’s bike… Rally time! It’s so great to see everyone, many I haven’t seen...
2/27- My Idea of a Party
78 miles. Group ride to Pioneer Saloon. Ah, the familiar smell of two-stroke smoke. The scooters are gathering and the raring for a party, but tonight? I’m quite content with a hot bath, followed by 9pm bedtime in a plush, warm bed....
2/26 – Metropolitan Mayham
Who shoved the little Honda Met between the big bikes in front of Hogs & Heifers? Looks like a scooter prank to me....
Cats and Friends. Oct 11 – Nov 20, 2014.
In the months to follow, I’d become so familiar with I-280, US-101, and I-580 that I mostly stopped tracking it. Actually I’m pretty sure I crossed the US without doing as much freeway riding as I have in the Bay Area. Oh well. I did manage a few trips...
2/25 – Burro Xing
272 miles. Made it to Vegas, and immediately headed for Frankie’s Tiki Room with Kyle. Let High Rollers Weekend begin!...
2/24 – Rest Stop in Time
213 miles. I’d wanted to ride by Big Bear Lake, but a wise weather check revealed they got a foot of snow last night. Instead, John rode with me as far as Barstow, following historic Route 66. I continued along 66, eventually pitching my tent behind a large bush...
2/23 – Mustachioed Motorcyclist, John
179 miles. John (jdgretz on ADV) put together a dinner with LA Bikers. We met earlier in the day at Griffith Park, and had a lovely ride around Malibu and back via Santa Monica. Great group of people!...
2/22 – Sprinter Crush
Rainy today, which is a good excuse to stay indoors and catch up on blog stuff. Dave’s friend Sandy stopped by, so I could have a tour of her converted sprinter. She hauls her bike in there too! Now I need one of my own. It’s not for tall...
2/21 – Bike Crush
105 miles. Host Dave (DSM8 on ADV) took me up Angeles Crest for breakfast at Newcomb’s Ranch. It’s far too pretty a ride to draw, so instead here’s a bike I’ve been crushing on for a while. Sources alerted me to one on Craigslist in my neck of the...
2/20 – Biker Wave?
164 miles. As I hit the sprawl of LA, this man gave me the most enthusiastic wave. I mean, it seemed friendly....
