Photos of your bike on location

This is so much art.
Who needs the basic black & white nude draped over the simple wood chair.
Even John's throttle grip and mirror called to say they're impressed!
(it truly is a very nice shot)

Been there, done that... but I focused on the truly important part!

But that is a great shot, B-page!

So, instead of art imitating life....is this art imitating...art??

Been playing around with a bunch of free editing apps (pc), there's a fuckload out there so if I don't bond with one it gets zapped.

Cool pic Butch. Did you retire the yellow/black leathers?

So I was riding up Mount Hamilton and there was a guy on the side of the road with a camera. So I turned around and rode past him again. And I turned around and rode past him again. And then I stopped and chatted with him he was cool.

Ha!
Nope. I save the KR suit for poseur opportunities. This was a spontaneous ride on a Friday. Little did I know there would be a foto junky lurking. I have been meaning to get pics of the Kali Octane helmet in action for the Kali guys. Little did I know...

Had to get out this morning. Hit Mines road!

Always wanted to get on those dirt roads there and explore! Bad part is that everything is behind gates and privately owned!!

Hell's Canyon, all the way to the end

The road down into Hell's Canyon has many great curves.

Brownlee Dam. The only one of the three not currently full. Headed downstream, they are Brownlee, Oxbow, and Hell's Canyon. When full, a dam backs up to the base of the next one upstream. They generate a lot of hydroelectric power from these dams on the Snake River.

Hell's Canyon reservoir. I managed to miss whatever made these roads wet.

The one high point on the road along the river/reservoir.

Hell's Canyon Dam. They let the river go from here and a bunch of people were putting in rafts just a little further on.

For some reason, when the road is on the Idaho side of the river there are lots of great twisties like this. When it's on the Oregon side they have boring straight roads. I don't know why.

That is a nice shot.

Maybe he will be there Sunday when we fly by!

I had to run an errand in Pleasant Hill this afternoon and took the scenic route home...

The Wall

 

[CDONA]

128 north to the coast, first thing I notice this morning rolling thru the hills of Colverdale, green grass. The rain we got two weeks ago has sprouted.

I was all about getting to the coast, didn't stop for pix until another OLRF (one lane road flagman). See that brown truck, way fast on this road, never gained on him, left me twice.

I went up the coast, for pix in Albion,

Back to the river mouth

Hwy 1 & Hwy 128

More players,

A Vista point, unattended males with gas money.
SFBAM a facebook thing?
With drone, fun in the parking lot

Another scrammy, an '07 to my '06, comparing clocks, my 66764 to his 67247

 

[CDONA]

Rolled in to Point Arena, Zenned up with gas & stuff,

hit the dock,

and back to the lighthouse.

Mountain View rd. back to Boonville
burger,
home.

I had a feeling about this loop up 128 for days, I have been trusting my front end way too much for conditions on goat stuff, bad pavement you can't see for the strobe lighting thru the trees in dark shade. ON alert.
It wasn't 128, but Mountain View that got goaty, tight downhill inside right, pavement with rips and sand, just after a logging road joined it.
I got the slip, didn't see any of it, three inches wider turn, may have biffed.

I listen to these internal warnings, they work for me.
Zenned Up

10/01 update, rolling to the south end of 128, to Winters, railing my rig.

That's wild, I'm very curious to know what the deal was there

It's more fun when it's a mystery, but check this out.

Railing my Rig, Hwy 128 SB Cloverdale to Winters.

Calistoga Fairgrounds, RV park & Golf course closed down.
My last visit Nov 2019, the grounds needed extensive tree work then from wind damage, now overgrown. Golf course parking lot was open with cars, but overgrown, dog walkers?

This lake up, with kayaks

Turtle Rock with bikes

The dam without.

Winters has spent money, new Fire House, High School rebuild, More condos,
and a new sign with 128 on it, as seen from 128.

Got out yesterday and did this route (more or less):

As advertised, it was about 10 hours accounting for gas stops and potty breaks, I probably should have started a bit earlier than noon... on the upside, Bohemian highway was mostly free of cars at that time of day and it's a great stretch when it's not clogged with traffic.

Fort Ross Rd

Hauser Bridge

Haupt Creek Bridge

Annapolis Road Bridge

Mountain View Road - as CDONA found before me, this road got my attention twice with some slides where I thought I had clean pavement, par for the course I suppose.

Skaggs Springs Rd

I dunno who thinks the bridge is the end of the run, the fun is just getting started!

Almost to Stewarts Point

Probably could have shaved an hour off Google's time estimate if I'd beaten the sunset (aka started earlier) and I didn't dress for the temps yesterday, but all in all, a good day.
