I rode a VF1000R over Tioga when the snow was like that, and then it started to snow some more....

He did an excellent job!

I like the S1000r much more than the Katana. It felt custom molded to my body - on a twisty road it felt like I was wearing it. Awesome power, one finger braking, quick and effortless tip in, sticky Supercorsa tires all made it so fun on a twisty road. Being 50 lbs lighter and more compact, the R is is less comfortable, but more engaging in the turns than the taller S1000XR, and way less vibey at the bars. (I like the XR, but love the R.) My back and hips are sore after 7 hrs, the price to pay for a sporty ride, but still a lot better than full-on sport bikes.


Knoxville Berryessa Rd. Pretty warm there. The pavement's very rough. I had to slow to 25 mph in a few stretches to thread my way around the worst potholes.

This sink hole's 20" wide, 30" long, and over 6 feet deep! Hard to spot at night. It'd be deadly if someone hit it. Someone put a rock in front of it as a visual warning, and I added a broken tree branch to it.

That sink hole might give some of us nightmares. Damn.

Last time I rode Knoxville Berryessa road I had to slow down a bit on the Hyper, and yet, I love that road. I would not wanna ride it at night though.

I was really hoping to get up to the Sierra passes while there is still snow, but with my Hyper being held hostage at the dealer it looks like I may not make it so I'll just live vicariously through all the good pictures here.

sorry to hear about the Hyper hostage situation … here’s a couple more from Sonora Pass/Hwy 108 this weekend:

temps were nice a cool, and happy to report that we didn’t get any more snow …

Took a rip out HWY 36 today.
It was coldish starting in Eureka, so I was glad I decided to wear my heated liner. The marine layer was thick.
By the time I got to Larrabee Valley, the sun was showing and it was 65 degrees, so I turned off the heat.
At the top of south Fork Mountain, it looked, felt and smelled like rain! I stopped long enough to clean my visor, and then turned around and headed back toward home.
These 2 pics show the rain clouds to the east and the sunny sky toward the west.

I remember that Knoxville Berryessa Rd being fun 20 years ago. Last time I rode it, maybe five years ago, it was crap. Sounds like it’s even worse now.

We first "found" Knoxville Rd, back in the late 60's, when BLM opened it, somewhat. Breakfast @ Moskwite corners, was part of the day of dirt riding.

I've got a day in Cottonwood, with a view of Jerome,

New restaurant/hotel complex on a knob with funicular, and a winery that has migrated from Jerome into Cottonwood.
The looks of these projects is simular to that Bond Villian's place in Sedona, a page or two back.

The 690 is pretty hard on tires. With only 2.8k miles this Angel ST is already at the wear bars. It could be because it doesn't spend much time cruising on freeways so all the miles are harder miles in the hills.

Good stuff guys!

End of the road for the Great Divide HWY at the moment.

Some life happening if you look close.

I don't know how long it's been but Bear Creek Rd is open between Hwy 17 and Boulder Creek. Glad to see some road repairs haven been and being done.

awesome!

Up and running, went for a very short spin around SF because the rear tire is just moments away from showing cords. This thing is a hoot.

BRAAAAPPP!

Glad she is back N4te!

Oh this one is new to me, but someday I'll get the hyper back. This thing is gonna be a nice alternative. I'm slightly afraid of what WOT will feel like once I have tires I can trust and the suspension dialed.

Got my TW running, and headed out.
I found myself with a little bit of extra help with the left handlebar controls, , ,

all tucked in for the ride,

slammed the bars to the stops, and a controlled rappel to dirt,
about 3 1/2"
