Last time I hit this shit it cleared up a couple miles down the road. This time the pea soup got thicker and thicker and the roads were drenched. The fog rather sucked.
But I got there with the bike a flaming mess.
There were several CHP hanging around. One parked about 50 feet away. When he finally I took off I picked a much drier route to get out of that area.
I took a detour and went south to 237 to come over the mountain. Nearly hit a dear and had a close call on a blind turn with another MC hot rodding in to my lane.
The bike is not shiny any more. Sickening I wish I would have rode the yellow turd bike. Or checked the weather before leaving.
This Thursday is a Veterans Day charity ride I do every year. I will disassemble the 500 and attempt to get it back to shiny status for that ride. arty
My Kawasaki ER6 and me at the top of Pikes Peak 14,110 feet in 2015, bike is currently for sale. See a blog on the build of the bike in the link in my signature.
Yesterday was Veterans Day Lab Ride 13. It is done on Thursdays now because most of us are on 9/80 work schedules having every other Friday off.
I think there was about 100 bikes and $1970 for charity was raised.
Proceeds from Lab Ride 13 support the Taylor Family Foundation and Operation Supporting All Military (SAM), a non-profit organization that sends packages to U.S. troops to show support to those deployed all over the world, especially those in Iraq and Afghanistan.
As we congregate inside the facility there is another equal in size or larger group gathering outside that hooks up for one big group ride out to Site 300. They host a nice barbecue lunch meal and then everyone leaves on their own.
As I am posting this I realize I should have posted this as a group ride. Next year I will post in an attempt to get a few BARFers out for the ride and hopefully we can break the $2000 mark.
You could be right and I was a little shocked out, but duder was 20' away and TOWERED over me. If he wanted to skewer me, a tip of his head and a couple of steps would have done the job.
There were two bald eagle wheeling above, and some territorial little raptor dude harassing 'em. That place is so special...
