Rough
Was invited ended up not going, don't like big group rides personally. So I'll be doing some twistys with the r6 and cbr again.
Damn lady in a SUV almost killed me yesterday, she ran a stop sign in front of me and then stopped in the middle of the road. Thank god it was a slow 25mph road and some quick front/rear brake and a down shift stoped me just fine. The Brian W was on a cell phone, needless to say she got the finger and a few choice words.

Apparently its a local "club" of sport bike riders who do "rides" or maybe a its just a group of guys who ride rough?

My hats off to anyone that rides in foul weather.
When I used to live in the Bay Area, I didn't own a car. Just a Super Hawk and a VFR 750. So I rode to work 33 miles each way, and everywhere else I had to go too. Rain, shine, heat, winter storms, whatever. If I had to get there I rode....I put over 40K on the Super Hawk one year. Went through a few sets of tires too.
But not anymore. Now that I have some cars (and a wife that I go places with) I usually drive. The Bike is just for fun now.

Yeah, it was a bit rainy-er here than the "20%" the forecast called for, but at least the temps were in the 50's. Light rain off-and-on until I got to Hood River. Should be better on the way home. If not... well, I have a rain suit in the topcase for a reason.
Nice thing, having a topcase... keeps the rooster tail off my back.

Oh crap... that was today?
The one day this week I'm not on the bike...
I rode all 5 days last week. I'll be riding the rest of this week. Today, though, I was picking up an ammo order from one of my coworkers (bunch of us went in on a group buy... several thousand rounds total). Let's just say I'm hauling home way too much weight for the luggage capacity on the bike.

"Oh, I couldn't make Ride to Work day 'cause I had to get munitions from my friend and my new bike doesn't have ammo boxes."

I really like those last two.
I wonder how much work it'd take to modify the Givi side bag mounts for big ammo cans? Hmm...

On the way home from work on Friday I took the scenic detour along Cook-Underwood Rd, instead of just blasting home SR-14... there's a cool turnout up there with great views:
What a gorgeous day for a ride!
If you're ever out on SR-14 in the Gorge and headed to Hood River or farther, I highly recommend taking Cook-Underwood Rd instead of sticking to SR-14 the entire way. It adds a few miles to the trip, but it's a fun detour with some nice winding asphalt.
