900 miles in 2 days

[ozz]

rode the new 1000 to oregon and stoped off at Lassen volcano....they had just opened the road thru the park (it was still covered in snow) so i had to ride thru it....its about 33 miles from one end to the other with just amazing scenery.

I used to live 60 miles from Lassen and hadent been back since 1972. I stoped at one of the last stores before you head up to an elevation of 8200 ft. This is the store i used to ride my bicycle to as a boy....here are just a couple pics

this is at the entrance to the volcano and damn those gixxer seats are thin!!

 

[ozz]

the roads thru the park were just unreal....alot fun was had thru these parts

yep...no seat will do it!

 

[ozz]

there is still snow up here and that lake looked mighty cold...it reminded me of something out of the great north, the water was pure blue with tiny icebergs in it....

Looks like you had a great trip and NICE pictures

And you mentioned SNOW, it's 107 F here today  

and it feels like a blast furnance

 outside ! And "OH" yea, if you think a GIXXERs seat it bad, don't even think about it on a Duc 998 series

 Gosh, you got me planning a trip now as soon as the Furnance is turned off here

Hey bro, great pics.

 

[semi]

what a sweet trip

so much better than sitting here in the air conditioning or even worse- having to go outside...thanks for sharing and making all of us pull out our maps and start planning

Ozz,

Awesome pictures !! Heck I'm here in Sunny South Florida, about 15 miles north of Key Largo, Florida. I can't imagine snow in August...... It's in the 90's here everyday, and the coldest it gets in the evenings is like 80 degrees. Well, here is our view on the weekends, I guess it's not all bad either..
