Winter in Az desert, with my total carbon footprint.

All three vehicles have a within.


Where is that George Jetson signature model Auto UnPack button?
With all that "Transformery unfolding action" and "Deluxe Glamping Edition"

Security by US Marines, flying sorties daily, for MY protection.

Awesome stuff

Making the most of your carbon.

Gave the Ulysses a final wash, on its way to Santa Clara Cycle Accessories for consignment sale. Looking to buy a water-cooled R1200GS.

No telling how long it would take to sell and I don't feel like dealing with it. I'm actively looking for a newer GS and need the garage space when I find the right bike, so putting it on consignment at SCCA solved my garage space problem.

My Ulysses is an '08, with 26,645 mi. It's got a luggage rack, 2 Pelican side cases (a bit sun faded and scratched), and 2 seats (higher and lower). In the last few thousand miles I had the following parts replaced: fork seals, fan, oxygen sensor (preventive), cylinder head gasket (seeping), starter, rear wheel bearing. Santa Clara Cycle Accessories is putting on a brand new front tire, saying they couldn't take the liability of selling a bike with worn out tires. It's registered until Nov '22.

Biker gangs back in the day had to be badasses riding those things all over the country managing their interstate commerce

Any idea on what they're asking for it, Gary? I don't see it on their website.

The Ulysses is at $4,899. SCCA is prepping the bike and it should be up on their web site in the next few days.

Some general info on consignment sale for those who are interested.
- The sale price is jointly agreed on between the owner (me) and Santa Clara Cycle Accessories. SCCA takes 12% commission from the sale price - worth the convenience to me in this case.
- They don't wash the bike, so I did.
- They'll do a safety inspection to make sure the bike is road worthy.
- I gave them signed pink slip and they'll sell the bike without needing further involvement from me. Once it's sold they'll cut me a check within 20 days.
- Interestingly, I have to keep the bike under my insurance until it's sold.

I don't want to turn this into a for sale thread, so please PM me directly if you have further bike specific questions.

Stevens Creek Reservoir

North end of 236 closure

Last time I was here (a few months ago) I was surprised to see a big rig logging truck emerging from this road. It's quite steep right beyond the gate and isn't that wide. I suppose those trucks have low gearing to crawl up the road.

Had a little fun Saturday enjoying the winter riding conditions, made my way from Skyline to Perscadero and then road 1 down to Santa Cruz to check off Bonny Doon, Pine Flat Rd, Empire Grade and Bear Creek Rd taking Skyline all the way back to 92. Got a little chilly near the end of the ride.

Pescadero Creek Road

I assumed this yellow mushroom indicated natures approval as I relieved myself...

Little bit of gravel here and there on Empire Grade

A little hazy at the vista point on Skyline, but it was a nice spot to soak up some sun and give the heated vest a chance to build up some warmth.

Looks like the sort of road a hyper was made for.

Did you get a pix of that poor guy that lost his grip on that pipe fence?
Tumble all the way to the bottom?

People will do anything for that instagram shot these days, shoulda cinched the gloves on tighter I suppose

It certainly fits the bill. It's a hoot both ways as are Alpine Rd and Page Mill. Now if I can just get to the point where I slide the bike intentionally....
