Gathering of the Clans 2013

[madmike2]

Another epic gathering is in the books.
Sorry for those who could not make it. Pegscrapers and Highlanders...you were fondly thought of and sincerely missed. DJBill, we DID talk about you! Next year in Healdsburg????

Someone has to start with the photos, etc., so here goes.

Of course, we never have that problem with FJR owners, but....
NO BAD ATTITUDES ALLOWED

It was mildly breezy at Jalama Beach....

Our friend OrangevaleFJR loved old barns.
"I like old barns", he once said, "They show that someone a long time ago had hope and faith in a future to be passed on to his family and a belief in his community."
Well said, Andrew! You and Tim always live in my heart and speak in my mind when we ride and gather like this.

There are a few more photos, including some from Saturday, here:

Did you like the photo of Hwy 25, South of Hollister (in the slideshow). I thought you might remember that road...

Yep...good times. I do remember well...and periodically look at the GoPro of that section of road...Following Richard on his slow ass Wing.

Wish I coulda ridden with all y'all...those roads were on my "to do" list last time I came through...but didn't get done. Next time.

Thanks again for sharing....looked to be an awesome time.

I got some shots of that same barn, Mikey (I think you linked to the wrong pic though as the beach one shows twice... )... had some really cool coloration on it... Andrew would approve.

No barn shots but here are a few photos of folks hanging out in the parking lot on Friday and leaving same Saturday morning.

Smiles in the parking lot and I'm pretty certain that they were smiling under those helmets, too.

Great pictures, keep them coming.

Well I only pulled out my camera on the way down from Santa Cruz to Goleta. Tyler met us at our hotel and now I had these two lovely ladies (my wife Gayle and Tyler) keeping me on my toes.

Soon we were on the road where we met Steve and George in Carmel. On the way down the Pacific Coast Highway Tyler stopped to take a picture of some waterfalls. It involved getting off the bike and walking at least 20 feet! Piff I say, look how far they had to go.

Hey Gayle, how do you like riding Hwy 1 along the Pacific Ocean in 68 degree weather?

We stopped at Elephant Seal beach and these boys were rumbling but as usual the girls were tired, had a headache and need to rest.

But I could have sworn I heard this guy ask, where's Bust?

Next time I'll try to remember to bring my camera to the tire kicking parties. We really had a great time seeing friends and meeting new ones.

Did anyone else hear the Asian Porn film crew ask for OldMichaelson?

Sorry I had to miss the Gathering, looks like good times.

Note; Gald Dang seals nearly ruined my Zodiac launch at Leffingwell landing on May 4th for the 2013 season opener of Rock Cod season!
