so friday i go on pre-deployment leave. and im riding home (nor cal bay area). so instead of making the 446mi trip straight up the 5 (would be horrible) im taking 15N to 395N spending the night in lee vining and heading out on the tioga pass (120w) down through yosemite. to 580 to 680 to home. its aprox 686mi. im going alone kinda crappy but my buddy is hopefully gonna meet me in lee vining and we'll ride tioga passtogethor. im leaving sat morning and should get home sunday afternoon or evening depending on when i leave. im pretty stocked about tioga pass but im not going to lie im not really looking forward to riding alone for so long. but its one of my last opportunities to ride so im taking it. soooo if any ones in so cal and wants to go to nor cal next weekend hollaat yo boy <yeauhh im ghetto lol

 

Sorry man I'm on the other side of the coast. keep the rubber down and have fun. and then be safe when you get deployed as well. cover your *** so you can put it back on the saddle when you get home. thank you

 

always man..thanks

 

Ride safe, get back in one pice ok?[8D]

 

sooo that was the ride of my life...riding the 120 thru yosemite was AMAZING.. i went 523 mi yesterday and 140Mi today..i feel pretty good..wrists hurts a bit but that about all..the bike faired fairly well minus the fact that i didnt put the o ring back in fill cap so at about 400mi it was spitting oil and i was freaking out for a while, because it dripped down and collected at the right rear of the oil pan, i thought i blew a gasket..rode about 50 more miles to a dealership figured out the o ring wasnt there but we took the fairings off and he checked the pan just to make sure and all it was was the damn o ring..lol 75 cent part cost me 12.50 cuz he unscrewd 4 bolts and sprayed brake cleaner on the pan to clean it up..oh well still got off easy considering... and the only other thing is that the center of my tire got pretty flat.. iof the original 530mi it was straight for atleast 400 if not more of it... but all in all AMAZING RIDE...if theres any nor cal guys on here..youve got to hit up the 120 best part for riding is west of yosemite but thru yosemite is just gorgeous, and the road is nice and twisty but the speed limit of 45 is pretty enforced i got pulled over for doing 54 in a 45..hah military id got me out of it though..
