2024 Pashnit Touring on a Hayabusa

Nice find Tim. The Million Dollar Cowboy Bar in Jackson WY has saddles at the bar too. I had a nice stiff jigger of tequila there one day.
There's no such thing as a cold rider, only an unprepared rider.
The tiny town of Parkfield in the Coast Range held a surprise. Frost covered the bikes with temps a wee bit above 30 degrees. Multiple exhaust pipes bellowed in thick clouds of steam as the riders layered up and geared up for cold weather riding. Heated grips & heated vest help a lot. They pay for themselves the first time you use them.
And the six layers I was wearing. Crispy morning indeed. It doesn't last, and within a hour, temps had risen quickly with the blue skies and sun coming up.

Bitterwater Rd is one of my favorite roads, which isn't saying much since I get asked that question a lot. Simple things like middle of nowhere, remote, & zero people always score high on the list.
Plus a photo of my first '00 Hayabusa on this road taken in 2006 for many years was the lead cover photo for the Pashnit.com California Motorcycle Roads site. Stared at that photo for years & years every time I logged onto Pashnit.com.

I've thought about looking into one of those half covers to keep the rain / frost off while on the road.
Somedays it's challenging just to put on enough layers. Boss Pashnit is The Man!

Terry, I was a dealer for Geza Covers for many years and sold quite a few of them to members on this site. But I don't carry a cover hardly ever. It's one more thing to pack and there is limited space inside the Givi top case. The space the rain suit occupies could also be used for a Geza cover but hard to squeeze in both and there was rain predicted for this ride so I carried the rain suit. Geza is a great product and they've been around a long, long time. Back when I ran with 50L soft saddlebags, I had a lot more cargo space then my present day setup.
Still makes for an interesting story though.
Remember that time when...
