Those pictures are AMAZING Mike! It is really beautiful out there. It's awesome to get out and enjoy the creation like you're doing. Enjoy your trip. Ride safe!

Well then, I know where I'm retiring to. I just hope we leave it the hell alone and allow it to still be that beautiful. I've got a lot of years before that happens.

Mikey the picture of you on your bike makes it look like a Kids bike.
Chewing on your knees. Having been able to fit so many people to bicycles over the years
that picture makes me cringe.

Is that the biggest rider compartment you have found on a Race/touring framed bike? I don't know the motorcycle terminology for riding position.

On your Real Bike (the one without the motor) I bet you fit a lot better.

Beautiful pictures...

I've had bigger bikes Rick.

They sucked in comparison.

This SMR fits, feels and handles just right. It's made me a better, faster (and safer) rider 100 times over. I love the twitchieness and ability to change course mid turn.

After 4 days on the bike I felt just fine. Would I tour the world on a bike like this? Hell no. I'd be on a GS or KTM Adventure style. FYI, I don't fit on Goldwings or Road Kings either.

More great pics from the real photog in the group..

The meat heads in the group pick up and haul four big chunks of tri tip for the first dinner. It's become tradition..Meat Babies..

Into the west side hills we go on Hwy 190.

That is always the Key to any bike fit. How the rider feels. Leg extension isn't as critical in road motorcycles. It is so awesome when something feels right.

I totally understand about the fit thing. One of my sons is exactly the same size as me. He hates the feel of my bicycles and where I am positioned. Just an inch further forward makes all the difference for me. He kicks my a** downhill but at 61 I still own him uphill for now.

weather awaits us..

the ultimate down hill..Nine Mile Cyn..

I'm waiting for everyone to catch up for one final canyon..

what I love about this bike is I can stand straight up and ride it like a dirt bike.
Killer for stretching out.

I see the poor slobs on RR bikes trying to stretch out....lol

I grew up in the Sierras! These pictures made me homesick. The most beautiful real estate on the planet, IMHO. Fun to see the "homeland"!

Also, Al...I spent every summer in Grants Pass, as well as having lived there about 10 years! I was born there and still have family there.

 

[Mikey P]

What town Rieta?

 

[Carbonated Carpet Woman]

Grew up in Susanville, 80 miles west of Reno. Lived for 10 years in Palm Desert, so I drove 395 home to visit frequently. I can honestly say that driving through that beauty is a spiritual experience.
