El Jefe's WFO-6 Ride Report

[twowheelnut]

Well, WFO-6 was a huge success and is in the books. On reflection, it was perfect. What was better than the event was the ride to and from Park City. I’m blessed. I have some terrific friends. Let me share with you some of the ride…

Chef Andrew was getting funky with the garlic:

To make this (my camera had a few Jacks by then):

O’vale and Highlander discussing the cheap gas prices:

Nope, none of us passed on the double yellow and why don’t people understand the meaning of pull-outs?:

Ah, Big West scenery:

O’vale on cruise:

Reflections:

Staying cool in the shade – two cool dudes!:

“Hey! What’d you do with my GPS?!” “Um, I ate it. It’s in here, now.”:

“Yup, it’s still there, but it’s been 4 hours. Maybe I should call the doc…”:

The West is full of these old buildings:

The Ride Report Master hisownsef:

This is the companion to O’vale’s shot of me (I think):

The group:

The Highlanders (I had to chase these two down after they broke away from the group at slightly below supersonic speeds!:

An over-the-shoulder shot of O’vale MadMike:

Andrew doing his impression of a Billy goat:

Smile!:

The group coming through Idaho twisties:

“May the Schwartz be with you.” MCML, stylin’ in da hood, yo!:

MadMike stuntin’:

Couples Curve:

"Hey, while we have an hour and a half for lunch, we might as well read a menu. Again and again and again and again..."

The Highlanders:

Black Canyon?:

Yellowstone:

The ultimate Jacuzzi?:

Old Faithful series:

Tetons:

Pano shot:

Party time! Cdogman and the luverly Lady Dogman put on a hecka party! See Gunny in action!:

Mmmmmm, Jello shots!

Alpine ride shots - Ashe and Chik:

Skoot and his honey:

Jane be stylin' in her Beemer duds. Is that allowed on an FJR ride?:

Chik doing her impression of a PT Cruither owner:

Playing King of the Hill. Iggy won:

Jane tired of Skoot, so she ushered him to the cliffside:

Would you trust either of these two? Or, Awwwwww, ain't they cute?!:

By the way, it's fun to read Chik's tee shirts! :blink:

Continued...

The journey home.

Cool! Barabus spotted the exit for Bonneville!

Pano shot:

Carver, just how fun was that speed run into Bonneville?:

Um, Carver? Those boots waterproof?

I-80 is boring and hot, but it does have some scenery:

Onto Susanville:

Ahhhh, the goal of the ride home - California Hwy 36. A motorcycle welcome sign just west of Red Bluff:

Could this be fun?:

These two think so:

This flag girl was smokin' hawt! She was very proud of her store-boughts and Carver moved in for a looksie:

Entering a series of long sweepers:

A 'Killboy' shot of Carver and Barabus. Imagine, 140 miles of these back to back to back curves. Imagine.:

We ran into a nice fellow riding this back to Oroville from the coast. Just one in his collection of several MC's:

View of a NorCal Valley:

"I can't believe I ate the whole Double Big Daddy!":

"Honey, the framostat valve is shot. They can't get one 'til tomorrow. I'll just have to be another day on the road. Izzat OK? Don't forget to feed Harley!"

Avenue of the Giants at 100 mph:

"Izzat a Redwood or are you just happy to see me?":

"Honey, it's all TWN's fault! Really! Honest injun! He made me ride 36 and 1!""

Finally, the Pacific and cool weather:

Girls gotta pee!:

Do these two look a bit too friendly?:

Nice!:

Are you kidding me? Stop to pee again?!:

Beat this for a ride:

Sigh, this reminds me of back home in New England:

Golden Gate:

Famous PCH shot:

From this point, it was still another 300 miles home, 200 of which were pretty much the same kinda views. Yawn...

Good times. 3,838 miles, 11 days and 1 set of Storms. I'm a'skeered to see the gas bill. mg:

'Til next year and NAFO!

Nope, none of us passed on the double yellow and why don’t people understand the meaning of pull-outs?:

Actually, that guy with the trailer full of beehives was making pretty god time climbing that hill. IIRC, he was going about 60 mph. :blink:

“Hey! What’d you do with my GPS?!” “Um, I ate it. It’s in here, now.”:

Yep, we were discussing the differences in our respective GPS devices. Then Steve still turned the wrong way leaving the motel.

An over-the-shoulder shot of O’vale:

Actually, I think that's me. IIRC, O'vale doesn't have driving lights.

MadMike stuntin’:

Yeah, and he wasn't prepared for the wind blast at that speed (uhm...er...65mph?!)

"Hey, while we have an hour and a half for lunch, we might as well read a menu. Again and again and again and again..."

AAaanndd...no pictures! May I suggest you DO NOT EVER eat at the "Mountain Pizza and Pasta" in Ketchum, ID. :angry2:

But it was all great fun and a wonderful adventure....

Corrected that faux pas, Mikey!

Explique a mí, por favor... You mean they are too large for you to view in one screen? They resolve to 800 x 600 px on mine. :dntknw:

Yes they are! Just remember though, not all Tetons are Grand Tetons!

I was just being supportive.

WFO sucked. I hated it. No fun at all. No fun over at the Cdog house, no fun in Club 105, crappy roads, lousy dinners. I'm not going next year.
