    Long ride

    Well, I'm planning a coast to coast run in Late April or May. It's been on my "bucket list" for a long time. Last time I did that 35 yrs ago I had a much smaller bike and just about destroyed it trying to keep up with the traffic on the interstate and it was overloaded too. Right now I'm making a list of things to do to Pathfinder before I go. Biggest thing is change the headgasket and adjust the valves. All the rest is little things and mostly regular maintenance. Maybe I can visit a few along the way, toss down a beer and maybe ride through your area together so you can show me the best roads in your area... Probably do the Southern route going East and a little more North going West.
    You can't stay young forever, but you can be immature for the rest of your life...

      If you come back down through the Sacramento area let me know and we can go for a least a short local ride. Maybe we can setup a relay and shuttle you down south.

        Hi Dick,
        have a great ride and stay off the interstate! Plan each day's ride to include a visit to an item of historical &/or scenic significance and to an interesting restaurant.
        Take lots of photos. Post them here. Drive us mad with envy.
