Walked away 
Is it really crashing if you don't fall down?--
I wouldn't change a fucking thing; I've lived hard, played hard, and I ain't done yet. I've paid some severe penalties along the way, but the rewards have been so much greater; even if for just have participating in the game of life with utmost abandon. It's not who rides the furthest in a day, but rather in a lifetime. CBA member #1, IBA #31845 and very proud of both.

Left the parking lot at 4:00 am - took the fast route home, arrived here about 3:30 pm.
5 south through the central valley sucks.
Heading for Stillwater, OK on Tuesday AM. In the van with a trailer. And let's not forget the wife. Tempting, sure, but not.

Left around 4:30am yesterday and made it home by 10:30am. 101 to 199 to I-5. ABS malfunctioned again after 100 miles or so and is showing an ABS 11 error code again.
Thanks to everyone for their support and attendance. Really good to see folks and meet new people.

You didn't pass me, Richard. We (BlueFJR-Brad & MCML-Joe) pulled out @ 0630. 36/I-5/32/45. Heat wasn't bad early and riding along the Sacramento River in the farm land. Lunch in Colusa, home around 2:30.
Joe emailed he's in Tahoe for the night, raining over the summit. He'll continue home this morning.
