    Route 66 run updates...

    This summer I ran parts of Route 66 on the way to Los Angles and the California VRCC's Yosemite run. I wrote a series of articles for the Dallas newspaper during and after the trip.

    I am starting to post versions of them now. Here's the beginning (see the link).

    Great stories

    Great stories, Dan. But the again, you always have great stories. Writing is a gift.... so is RIDING!

    Thanks for always giving bikers a good name and making friends in far away places.
    Gone but never Forgotten:
    1980 XS11SG - "Scorpion"

    Current:
    2006 Yamaha FJR1300A - "Orion"
    2007 Honda CBR600RR - "Twitch"


    "Life is not a journey to the grave, with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body; but rather to skid on broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming:

    WOW - What a ride!

          Great reading... as usual.
          And here we have snow and -7 centigrade at the moment (10.44 am) and I'm buying a cage. I never thaught I would be buying a cage for that much cash... but I got an offer I cannot let pass. And I really wanted another bike. Eh, well.... crap. Needs and wishes....

                    Hey Daniel,

                    Nice writing. I live in Colorado Springs and see the Peak every day (that its not shrouded in clouds). I've never ridden it though...haven't had a bike running well enough to ride it actually. Next time you are through the springs look me up.
