Who Rode Today?

Nice, what seat is that? Looks comfy.
I averaged 38 mpg for a 250 mile ride all around the Sierra foothills west of the Park and entered via hiway 120 and left via 180, the El Portal entrance. I managed about 50 miles in triple digits over several long deserted straights before climbing above 6,000’ in the mountains. Weather was perfect. Like trees? Hard to find shade at times but this old one was quite accommodating. Oak trees dot the foothill landscape but then up high I quickly run into evergreens galore! The river shown is right next to the road for miles. The roar at the rapids (right next to the road) 
was incredible. Can you hear it? The split rock I’m guessing, was at one point a solid mass that split in two when it fell from the mountain. The Busa is a big bike but is dwarfed by that boulder. A Peterbilt would be dwarfed by it. The huge rock overhang is at the El Portal entrance. Was it one piece too sometime in history? Great ride all around. WishUwuzhere to see it.

These pics are so cool. Probably to cool people won’t want to post after yours.

I’ll be that guy then. Only rode to work and back but was able to take some back roads home and enjoy the ride.
Great shot. Could be a State Park! Lotta GREEN in the background. I love green.

These pictures are excellent, wow is a word I'd use to describe them.
That scenery is amazing. Think of the force it took to split that rock....

Sure enough expect it when you least expect it! I just cleaned my drive chain and took a quick ride to fling out the kerosene. 70 mph for a few minutes ought to do the trick. Over the hill comes a black car and I roll back a bit. Eased down to 60 mph. SHERIFF No stop. Maybe he or she was off duty. Had no helmet on either. See, I normally go the speed limit on the interstate but the one time I don't.... Glad I didn't get a ticket because that would ruin me for the real fast riding I do.
No helmet?

For shakedown runs, only. I listen for unusual noises. Normally earplugs and helmet all the time. Actually not very much fun to ride without and obviously more dangerous.

Too much pie ?
We were ALL thinking that but nobody was going to say it....but at least you are a good distance away...Too much pie ?
It still looks good, just get the zipper fixed...
Quite the view on those pictures...really nice.
