cool thanks, I didn't know about 1904. As a side note, it was a buddy of mine who asked you at Mother's what kind of bike that was. One of the yahoos I was with, blue gsxr flame paint job, insisted it was a monster. "Bet you money it's a monster." me: "you're going to lose that bet, i know my monsters." So our other friend walked over and asked. He came back and said to us "MV something or other" I laughed. |

As for the Vermont plate, we see a lot of that due to the large military presence here in SD county. Many choose to keep their vehicles registered in their home state as it's also much cheaper and many end up leaving/transfer/back home too. Fine by me, I support the military volunteers.  |

I was more concerned with what he's wearing than his tags... |

Yesterday was the fall equinox. Kind of bummer, because the days will only get shorter after this. Not that riding season ever really ends in SoCal, but still Robert and I finally found a day we could hang out, blocked out a couple hours, and took him for his first trip on ACH, and first real street ride on the KTM. ACH and Mt Wilson - more |

we actually started from the wrightwood side. I wanted to ride it all the way through again before it closes. that's my buddy's KTM. Not much juice on the highway, but it does fine on the crest. |

Not to belabor the obvious....but the days have been getting shorter since the Summer Solstice in June. Can't let that stop a good ride! |

My buddy Jon had been hankering for a while to ride ACH and the timing just never worked out. When I was going, he couldn’t make it. When he was free, I wasn’t. Not that I needed to be there, I’m am by far NOT an expert at riding ACH (or riding anything, for that matter). But it’s nice to have someone familiar when you’re hitting a new road. Everything was going great until… http://twoslow.com/2013/10/bad-day-at-islip/ |

Not so much a bad day as a story to tell. Funny to see that there's already snow up there. I feel it's going to be a wet/cold winter.
