3/3 – Atlantis?
Kyle (Boston’s last man standing) and I walked through the indoor shopping labyrinth known as the Mall, in search of pants. At one end is a round aquarium setup, which is labeled “Atlantis” on the map. I figured we found the lost island by the various Greek-esque fiberglass ruins...
3/2 – Drying Out
Drying out, in multiple senses of the word. A snowstorm was intent on keeping east coasters in Vegas, but eventually most of them boarded flights home. The beginning of the end....
3/1 – Tamales and Tails
52 miles, group ride to Red Rock Canyon. Hit the Mexican flea market with Kyle and Paul B, and picked up another animal tail?! The obvious choice was to use it as a keychain, which proceeded to get caught on all the rocks in the canyon. As is tradition...
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!...
