Have a safe trip.  If you are riding route 166 to the coast from Bakersfield you will go right through my area.  Anyway, it is a nice day here today, low 70's with light winds.  Tomorrow they are calling for am fog with sun and wind in the afternoon, temps in the high 60s, and sunny the next four days with temps in the low to mid 70s, maybe a little cooler on the coast.  The hills are green and the wildflowers are starting to come out, you picked a good time for your trip.  Enjoy your ride!   

[Fugawee]

I'm jealous.....Have a Great Time and a Safe Trip.

[Panzer]

Ah man, you're all sucking up because HV is the chief honcho.

[Clintster]

Hey the guy puts a lot of work in for this board, he should be very welcome here in the States.  HV have you tried your RS assistance list for hook-ups? Beer and steaks on the coast on rented Hogs, aint that America... Somebody on the list should be near one of your destinations !  Have a safe trip and yes photos would be nice.  Panzer off to the shed?

[CndUltra88]

Panzer, Panzer, Panzer.....
How are you at polishing chrome in the shed my man???
LOL
HV, get connected, we all wanna hear of your latest escapades !!!!
Cheers,
Rob

[Hawg Holler]

You picked a good time to be here. Weather is drop-dead gorgeous, the hills are green, no fog yet. I'll be riding south on Highway 1 from Half Moon Bay toward Santa Cruz today. Wave if you see me.

[FSG]

Wave if you see me.

I'm waving now, can you see   

[Hawg Holler]

Sorry, I can't see you. Under Calif. law I'm not allowed to surf the Web while operating a motorcycle. My ride got delayed, but I'm heading that way.

[HV]

Ya gotta stop in Carmel....then down to Big Sur.   

[drgn*95]

If you have time for Big Sur (south bound Hwy 1) then you should stop at the River Inn for lunch or dinner. If headed north Hwy 1, halfway between Montery and Santa Cruz is  the power plant at Moss Landing and the Moss Landing Inn for lunch or dinner (also very biker friendly). The roads to Hollister and San Juan Baustista (Daisys Bar) are nice. It will be a good weekend for you as the weather is only to get warmer. Enjoy.........

[Coyote]

Talked to HV tonight. Helped them plot a route back along the Kern River and through Death Valley. That should warm them up some!  I think after this trip, they may be back to visit California. 

[Panzer]

                 

[Hawg Holler]

If you rode up through Big Sur you were riding against the wind all day and it was brisk. It was blowing up here south of San Francisco today, too. Still, it was nice. I rode south to Davenport and back up through the Santa Cruz mountains by Big Basin State Park and back up Skyline Boulevard to Alice's.

[Yukon]

 HV, I was into the shop today and their all hoping things are going good for ya. After talking to Steve and Ivan, I came out thinking Larry must be paying you guys too much! Everybodys bailing on him and taking a trip somewhere warm.LOL Anyway, enjoy it all and be glad your doing Death Valley this time of year. I did it in early August and couldn't believe the heat........Ride safe

[Panzer]

HV,
GOOD NEWS !!!
Your shop called, they said stay out another month.
The guy who started the fire in the service area.....well, he took your place.
THE BAD NEWS.........they gave him a raise and a dedicated 911 cell phone.

Enjoy the warmth and the "smiles".


CndUltra88 ...that ought to count for something.

[hdjax2]

The wife and I took a little 300 miler yesterday. Rode some of my favorite part of highway 1, north of San Francisco. Point Reyes station along Tomales bay and up to Bodega bay. This is a real quiet part of the highway, very little traffic during the week. The hills are all green right now and it was just an awesome day  but a little windy in the afternoon. We stopped for a bowl of clam chowder at a little place called Nick's Cove overlooking Tomales Bay. Great food but a little spendy. Anyone that is thinking about coming out to ride Highway 1 should not miss the chance to ride it north of SF. It's like a completely different world.  Welcome to California HV, hope you have a great time.

Yeah but don't tell anyone..   Max

[taz95dog]

 

[Panzer]

Take any pixs of hotties basking in the California sun?

[taz95dog]

 

[RK101]

I don't think I'd count on any pics till he gets back. Riding time takes precedence over computer time even on a bad day. 

[HV]

Im Backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk  ... Man that ride through the Kern River and through Death Valley was unbelievable !.. Ill post some pics later when my Jet Lag improves 

Me below on RT 1 pointing to where we are heading

For that answer, you might want to check with non-other than the Shed Master himself, aka PANZER 

[Panzer]

Very funny
I'll leave the honors to Specialx1, the newly appointed "master".
Go ahead Special, tell them, UB take notes.

Thanks a lot Jam 

[Scurvy]

While we're all waiting for HV to post some more pics, here is my favorite Old Vegas one. Me, of course, trying to remember where I parked my bike.

[truck]

If you would have parked it behind the Clinton Market, in the shade you could probably find it.
private joke

[mayor]

Scurvy, did you see Freemont at night?  cool light show.   

welcome back HV!

[Reddog74usa]

HV, I hope they didn't ding ya to bad for the dents on the bikes when ya went on your over the cliff ride. Glad to see ya had a great time and made it back safe Bro   That was a goodin Dennis  

[HV]

  Im still working on a Pictorial Site of the ride... jet lag got me today... but Im coming around... I can not say enough about the ride..it was more then I had imagined for sights and also for meeting the great people ..I must say that the California People I met were fantastic and Friendly .. ( some damn good looking too  ) Had some great meals... Great riding and the smooth well kept roads were a pleasure to ride on... We met riders from Germany and Sweden going through the Death Valley and even two ladies from Spain heading up to the Grand Canyon

Dents ? no but the bugs were all over it...LOL... 1300 Miles at 90 MPH for a lot of time 

 

[Panzer]

1300 Miles at 90 MPH for a lot of time??
And they put me in the shed for a lot less.
I object !!   Learned that lingo from Mr. Truck. 

[JamLazyAss]

HV,
Are you sure that wasn't 90 KPH? 
Looking forward to the pic's...

[HV]

90 MPH !!  lol

Here is a pic of the RG Speedo at 85 ....

Just before going through Death Valley
