    I bought a 2015 today in Sacramento for about 7000 less than a 2016. I feel I made the right choice and got an ES to boot less than 15750 OTD

    Great Thursday November 14th Ride to Downieville

    I would say I am about 70%. Started swimming and lifting weights. It still hurts like mad in the morning when I wake up. Long rides in the cold kill also. Let's hookup for a ride between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Jeff

    Anyone hear what I hear?

    Each time I ride the bike quick to get it out of the garage or do some cleaning (Helmet off) so I can actually hear I might ride the bike down the street and turn around. As I accelerate then let off the gas I hear what sounds like BB's bouncing around under the bike. I was thinking it could be...

    Great Thursday November 14th Ride to Downieville

    Got to take a great ride over some great roads courtesy of Alan. We took some ride roads off Hwy 49 and ended up popping back onto 49 and heading up to Downieville. It was amazingly windy and the colors of the trees changing was amazing. We would hit temperatures in the 50's during the ride and...

    Quick Run to Tahoe Tomorrow!

    Awesome to hear from you Michael. You and I have both spent a hard third of a year sleeping in recliners and wishing we could both get back on the bike. I saw you got a new ride and am looking forward to seeing you again this weekend for the spin up in the foothills and lunch after. Take Care...

    I really want to attend the event but had shoulder surgery just over two weeks ago. I was expecting just a clean up but ended up having a torn rotator cuff plus two other problems which were corrected. I am in Citrus Heights and am willing to take any items to the event. While everyone is out...

    Ride to San Jose then down 1 to Pismo Beach October 23rd Returing back October 27th

    I would say about 4 1/2-5 Hours. We usually stop in Big Sur then the super expensive gas station about half way down. Since we are heading out on a Friday traffic could be light thus the trip maybe more around the 4 hour mark.
