ladyfz Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Anybody making plans for a good ole' American road trip for the (hopefully 3-day) July 4th weekend? The hubs (ridin' a WR250R) and I are tossin' around a couple of routes. Riding through the Adirondacks sounds like a grand time, anybody every done it? Maybe if the stock seat doesn't turn my arse to stone x_x we'll push on up to Montreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member hippiebikerchick Posted June 25, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hubs and I have a great moto trip planned. We're riding the yammies through the Napa wine country to our beloved Mendocino coast for five days. My brother (who rides a Spyder) is meeting us there too. Lots of coastal riding and barbecued salmon. Illegitimi non carborundum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely want to revisit the Redwood Forest on bikes at some point, it's just absolutely stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my own fault it happened, I should have remembered I was on a demo bike and not my bike and I forgot to use my chest protector that one time... 2015 fz-07- Hordpower Edition...2015 fj-09- 120whp- Graves Exhaust w/Woolich Race Kit- tuned by 2WDW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyfz Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 I'm very sad to report my husband's bike was STOLEN earlier tonight. MAJOR F'N SUCKAGE. He had a disk lock alarm and a heavy Kryptonite chain, chained up to a pole outside his office building. Broad-f'n-daylight man. I feel terrible for him, he's so brokenhearted...

Premium Member databyter Posted July 2, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 2, 2015 Working, but I'll be thinking of you guys having fun as I do my 45 mile round trip commute. Those are fantastic pics by the way. I'm kinda jealous EDIT: just read about the theft. I'm very sorry. That is so frustrating. That is something I have not considered too much since I bought my bike. I have no chain, no disc lock. I just lock the steering. I do have comprehensive only because I have to for financing.

yamahaha Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I've got a clear stretch of weather ahead and hoping to do in excess of 2000 kms in the next few days. Going to revisit my old stomping grounds in the northern interior of British Columbia. Sorry to hear about the stolen bike. I hate thieves. I may have to sleep beside my bike to keep it safe during my travels. I measured the handlebars and it should fit through a standard door way ... lol.

Premium Member maybe07 Posted July 2, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 2, 2015 Just chillin' on the 4th, but I'm riding with my brother on July 17 to Laguna Seca to see the World Superbike races. We're going West on Highway 198, North on Highway 101 a bit, then riding Carmel Valley Road to Highway 1 to Monterey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member speedingtickets Posted July 2, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted July 2, 2015 Beware of the 150 million drunks in the USA that will be floating through red lights, road raging and pulling out into traffic without looking. If you are a new rider, leave the bike home. If you are one of those egotistical jackasses that does not wear a helmet, wear a helmet on weekends of the 4th and Labor Day, I was almost killed on Memorial Day too! No matter how experienced you are, you are only as good as the dummy in the cage next to you. I armor up like C3PO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
