45 Days on a Gen3 Hayabusa - 2023 Pashnit Touring

Coming out of Sequoia NP, there's this single lane backroad I love to take the guys on.

End of day, awesome day of riding. Sequoia NP & Kings Canon NP are really cool places, definitely check them out if you're in the area.

The one thing we missed is Morro Rock, check that out if you ever get the chance, the road there was closed this early in the season.

The top of the granite dome is 6500 feet, and you're looking straight down on all four sides thousands of feet. It's trippy.

View from atop Morro Rock in Sequoia NP, yup, that's the road to get here.

Lake Kaweah, note the trees. That's dry land last few years, but all the snowmelt, the reservoir fills up.
We're thankful for lots and lots of water this season.

My first real job at age 13 in 7th grade was baling hay for a local farm. We spent weeks unloading throw bales and stacking them in barns, filling the barn to the ceiling with hay bales. $4 bucks an hour was big money for a 13-year-old in 1985, the local farm I worked at raised Texas long horn cattle. They had huge herds of these. Really unusual for a farm in southeastern Wisconsin, but that's what the guy raised. Fast-forward many decades, here I am in the middle of nowhere and this guy is just chillin' and checking me out. Horns on these cattle are huge!

Well Tim, if I’m facing north those two back to back parks would be my back yard and Yosemite, my front. I gotta say though, I don’t like goat trails, or rather I don’t like riding the Busa over goat trails or slowly downhill. My Kawasaki is much more at home on them. I do like the big trees and as big as a Hayabusa is, they dwarf it completely don’t they?
