Wrench'n Ride'n

Today I caught the tail end of the Sydney Cafe Racers Run. Then I rode this and had so much fun. It was only for a few klms. I had forgotten how much fun a 500 single could be. My laugh was heard over the loud exhaust as I ripped along the private road.. Thank you Matt Miles for trusting your Royal Enfield to me. 

One very nice chopped Trumpy.

I am not a big fan of Street fighers. I find some of them look like they have just been cobbled together out of a different parts catalogues. Yet I do like this Bandit.

Not mine. Wish it was. Seen on the net. A very well done up Katana.

I found this video via Boxerworks forum. Thought I would share this ride with video taken from a very nice R90S is.

Eric's farm, Tuscon. There were some awesome dirt roads and utility access trails right by Eric's farm. Seriously fun time. The Minolta has a wind up mechanical self timer that I have to set with a pair of pliers. We only did one shot like this and I couldn't have been happier with how it came out. Now I'm getting ready to actually head back to New Jersey. Eric is staying on his farm in Tuscon and I've got to get home before the whole Northeast is covered in snow. Even with taking I-10 back I could feel that the days were too short and the nights too cold to find good road-side camping. Of course I had no money for hotel rooms so I decided to hit up my fellow ADV riders. I sat in a Starbucks for a few hours plotting out major cities that were about 600-700 miles apart and then proceeded to PM ADV riders in those cities. I got immediate responses from everyone and ended up staying with ADVers in (barko1) Las Cruces, NM, (Whip) San Antonio, TX and (Dranrab Luap) New O...

OK so this is where things get really fun. So far I've been on interstates from NJ to CA and up and down the 101 and 5. Thanksgiving is over I want to take Highway 1 up through Big Sur. Eric had left for San Francisco again a day before me so I was on my own and wanted to experience the highway and do some more camping. Camping spot for the next couple nights. So I found a great spot off Highway 1 just south of the Carmel Highlands. There were some stones blocking a rather wide path that led down a trail right on the edge of the cliff. I managed to ride my bike down without being spotted and hung out at the end of the path undisturbed and out of view for 3 days and two nights. Time for pics of my favorite place in the world. Camping out at that spot was amazing. The last night Eric rode down from San Francisco and met up with me and we camped out together one last night before heading back to Laguna Beach for a two day stop before heading back to Tuscon and then east to New Jersey....
