Who Rode Today?

Thanks, I’m fortunate to live so close to three National parks and several State parks and national forests.
I’m 59 miles from this vantage point in the Sierra foothills. Today I rode from north to south (the hilltop vantage point). Stop by if you make it over. I have two bikes. My friend from Wales just returned home from a visit. He was born here but moved to the Cambridge area for work years ago and retired in Wales. Sadly he doesn’t ride anymore. Used to have a Bonney bobber. At 18 he rode a CB350 Honda from San Antonio TX to Northern California. Crazy!
I shouldn’t have said that, wasn‘t thinking straight but it was a tough phone call to get. Tests confirmed that I have lung cancer. I’ll know more about treatment in the coming days/weeks.

Hi. Stay strong and beat up on that nasty cancer. I took my ex wife who was a nurse at 68.
Pics?
Here a few from my travels, met up with friend Bill on his Connie in Saskatoon. Then headed south and met Spudley and his wife for 4 nights in Sturgis. Rode Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Devils Tower also walked around Sturgis and Deadwood. Leaving Sturgis with Bill we rode Bighorn Canyon enroute to Cody, WY. Then next day headed north through Chief Joseph Scenic Byway onway to north Yellowstone entrance. Rode through park to Old Faithful Then headed north through West Yellowstone to Great Falls, MT for couple nights before heading back home.

I rode today. I did a 68.3 mile loop in 2:23. Last weekend I began using MyRide on the iPhone. It seems to accurately map my path while the first app I tried had completely lost its way. Unfortunately the software’s icon says “Yamaha”, ergo the lowest of the low. It outputs a GPX file. On Linux I found PruneGPX to open it and view the map. I am debating creating an account to let the software save these rides.
I noticed that as I use the brake then grip the throttle again the throttle tube pulls in slightly and clicks, it has some movement on the bar. Is this normal?
Sorry no pictures. There is one awesome spot but a sign warning to not park and I am a Goody Two-shoes.

I went for a ride with my daughter all around RI & CT.
I got out on the "ol beastie for a couple hours...it ran fine and threw no codes which is comforting...it may have been the Bazzaz acting up the whole time....I recall back even a few years ago where it would sometimes act up...
While in my travels I managed to pick up a very noisy newer R6....at the first stop we came to he came up beside me and looked over the Bumblebee....he said he was thinking of running me but then saw the words "Hayabusa" on the side and thought he had better not make a fool of himself....I said he'd win because it would be a one man race as I'm too old to play like that anymore and might break a hip or something.....he laughed and took off....
I stopped by the waterfront and took a shot with a Jon-boat and some huge beams hewn from the trees in the area some 150 yrs ago or so. Most of the waterfront was made from sawdust as there would be millions of trees processed right there...
There are a few "Lumber Baron" homes still in the area although very few are still single family dwellings....but many still have the wrought iron and stone fences around them with the initials of the family on the pillar stones flanking the entrance to the walkway...

Got in 170 Smiles today. The new cush drive is awesome. Stopped by a river that was smooth as glass. Watched a duck fishing solo. Nice day.
I got in a 285 mile loop to the south and east into the Kings Canyon/Sequoia NPs. They’re side by side. BIG trees and lots of them. Got above 7,000’ where it was in the mid 60s but down below it was in the mid 90s! Aaahhh, the sacrifices I make….
