2024 Pashnit Touring on a Hayabusa

No, their group pulled in right after ours . They escaped the crazy downpour rain just like we did, lucky timing. :laugh:

Luck has been with me a few times too. About a half hour after checking into my motel in Florence OR on my recent coast hiway trip on my Honda, as I walked out to cover it the rain started. On my last trip to MT the sky let loose with a downpour as I was walking back to the Busa after checking in. I hadn’t even unloaded it yet after riding over hiway 12 from ID. Luckily I hadn’t ridden in the rain on either day. It’s motorsikkle karma I tell ya!

Great pics of the temple. I gotta get back up there again. Rode around there on my CB750 when I lived in Humboldt Co.

Although not on my motorcycle but my garden tractor...

I had just got done cutting grass at one of the senior lady's house and drove the tractor home almost a km with black skies threatening me...

I backed the tractor into the shed, and walked to the house....almost to the second that I stepped through the door, the skies opened up like someone turned on a tap.......if I would have stopped for even a second to scratch me arse, I would have been soaked....

Weather is a crazy thing....

We ride Wildwood Rd quite a lot when we're in NorCal, it's a back road that parallels the ride through Hayfork & we avoid this tiny NorCal town by going around it.

Wildwood is single lane and about 20 miles connecting back to Highway 36.

But a couple of years ago, I learned there was a natural limestone bridge along the road - had to check that out. 20 years I've been riding this road and didn't know this natural bridge was here a mile off the road.

It's just a mile up this bumpy fire road.

I know the road is kinda knarly, but check out this crazy tunnel through solid limestone rock, very cool.

What a crazy interesting spot to discover, no signs, no people, just some random fire road headed off into the forest, and then there's this.

Ride back to the main road - of course, Rob on the Africa Twin thought this was the coolest detour ever.

The guy on the Hayabusa just takes it slow & easy

You can get into a rhythm on roads like this, but as soon as you think you're ricky racer & the only rider person on this road, you come around a blind right and there's a truck headed right for you. We had zero other traffic with this ride, but next time I came through there a few month later, that's exactly what happened. A truck & trailer coming right at me. I had about 2 feet of space on the right & he didn't move over at all.
