Budman - thank you for organizing and hosting this rally! Thanks to Ken for leading the ride and popping cool wheelies

I'll be bringing my s1000rr to Quincy so I can keep up with the cool bunch

Too much riding to take a lot of photos, but here are a few.

Lunch on Sunday at Well Bread in Ballard. Top notch bakery!

One of the destinations I had in mind for this rally was Cholame, CA, the site where James Dean died in 1955 while driving his 550 Spyder to Salinas for a race. Dean has cast a long shadow over American culture, including a tribute from The Eagles.

Back in the 70's, a fan from Japan created and funded this monument to James Dean sitting within sight of the crash. We stopped to pay our respects after discovering some new roads on the way there.

The next stop was the earthquake capitol of the world!

That's it. Hope you all had as much fun as we did!

I loved the food and the amazing black silhouette at the bottom of the window, at Jo's.

I can't speak for the customers

Camino Cielo does not disappoint

In the 900+ miles we rode this weekend, there were lots of great roads, but Camino Cielo and Cachagua were the real standouts.

I didn't get many pictures in on this trip which is pretty uncharacteristic for me, guess I was having to much fun riding and socializing.

The caffeine before the storm, good thing there was a Petes Coffee in the grocery store!

Rest stop photo-op

Having no fun at all

Tail end of the Sunday ride, I even managed to avoid running out of gas!

Not entirely sure what's happening here, many beers were involved.

Clean up crew disposing of the evidence. Impressively, not a drop of booze was left over.

I had a blast, it was fun riding and hanging out with everyone whose name I learned and promptly forgot in part due to those empty bottles.
