Title: Jim's Ride or NorCal playin' in Yosemite
Post by: RidinRuby on July 05, 2010, 01:19:57 AM: Anne and I were lucky enough to spend some of the Fourth of July weekend with the NorCal krew on a ride to Yosemite. What made this ride extra special for us is we had the rare opportunity to have Jim (HD-Dude) join us along with some of the members of the SoCal chapter of the NorCal krew.

We started our adventure with a stay at AK's house, here they are Andy and Sherry

Unfortunately Jonga could not join us for the ride, but it was great to see him :bananarock:

Post by: 56FLE on July 05, 2010, 11:42:25 AM: I had the privilege of joining this ride on the 4th of July. I started out at 5 Am from Sacramento to get down to Mariposa to meet up with the group. It was a nice cool morning, fresh air except for around the stockyards. Here is me heading out.
Title: Re: Jim's Ride or NorCal playin' in Yosemite
Post by: 56FLE on July 05, 2010, 11:47:29 AM: Little did I know that JC's phone does not receive texting so I was actually very lucky to meet everyone at the Mariposa gas stop at 7:45 in the morning. Everyone was surprised I made it. So off to Yosemite we went, here are a few pictures from the Glacier Point.

It was great to meet some new members, John and Blaise, Russ & Vivian and Helena and to see some old friends, Marty, Jimmy and John as well as all the regulars. We gave John the $1.98 tour of Hwy. 49 and all the old gold mining towns. Even ran into an old time dance hall girl sitting atop her horse in the doorway of the saloon. Later we see her riding her horse down the board sidewalk...... :o

Post by: JCZ on July 05, 2010, 03:27:32 PM: I just downloaded all the pics that Anne took with my Nikon (most of the pics that Chris posted in Yosemite) and I've got to say that there are many, many pics that were not posted that rival the best photos I've ever seen, taken in Yosemite.

Took a few myself. Of course they all take a back seat to Anne's but a different perspective.

Here's a new member to the Nor Cal krew, Blazo

Post by: Panhead_Jimmy on July 06, 2010, 03:40:11 PM: Marty and I went over the Grapevine about 1 hour before this happened on Saturday:

CHP Officer Among 3 Injured in a Runaway 18-wheeler Truck Collision

A runaway truck speeding out of control through the Grapevine area of Interstate 5 hit a California Highway Patrol cruiser trying to clear its path Saturday, triggering a three-vehicle collision that sent all three drivers to the hospital.

The identity of the 35-year-old CHP officer from Bakersfield, who suffered what were reported to be moderate injuries, was not being released Sunday, according to Officer Kirk Arnold, who said no arrests had been made. The accident is said to have been caused by an SUV driver's failure to follow the CHP officer's directions to move out of the way.

The officer's Crown Victoria patrol car was hit from the rear by a Freightliner truck moving at 85 miles per hour. The cruiser then crashed into a Honda Pilot sport-utility vehicle before ricocheting back into the truck's path, where it was hit again, according to a CHP report. The cruiser came to a stop after hitting the center divider wall.

The truck, driven by 47-year-old Guillermo Martinez of Hialeah, Fla., sped on for another mile before overturning on the right shoulder of the highway, just south of the California Aqueduct.

The driver of the Honda, 66-year-old Albert Ash, the truck driver and the CHP officer were taken to Kern Medical Center in Bakersfield, Officer Patrick Etchebarne said in a report on the incident, which occurred at 8:45 a.m. Saturday.
Emergency crews and investigators kept the freeway's northbound lanes blocked for more than three hours, causing traffic to back up for miles on the first day of the holiday weekend.

On a lighter note, THANK YOU ALL FOR THE FANTASTIC WEEKEND! I appreciate each and every one of you.

Jimmy

Believe me as I went through both days I was thinking about the parts of the ride. Some weekends you can't find a damn thing to do and others you have umpteen things to keep you un-straddled.

I recognized the Ranger at Glacier Point.

Sherry, Andy's content of his character :huepfenjump3: showing the size of the thermos is as important as the character of it's contents.

Does John really live in Austin? :nixweiss:

Ernie and Helena???? Ernie if you ever need a good lookout? :coolblue:

Michael (DimestoreMOTO) in boots and shorts on a pony ride. :confused5: You guys encourage him just a bit much. :confused5: Could be more controllable if he changed his handle to XanaxMOTO.

Congrats on gettin time away Jim, you deserved it! :cherry:

Marty, and Jimmy great you made it up. :orange:

Russ and Vivian hard ridin Hubby and Wife.

Rich, next time.

A group of us will be out there in late August.
We will be staying at Yosemite Nat. Park Aug. 28-29th.
Ride starting in Sacramento, ending for me in Sedona,. AZ.
Just curious what your temperatures were while in Yosemite?
Many Thanks!

and the smokey.....
I like that pad you have on your KTP, did you have that made at Corbin? If so what is the Part number? I have the same TP and don't like the full pad with the armrests, looks funny without the rear speakers IMO, also what did you use to plug the holes for the armrests?

Yes, it's Corbin but I'm not sure of the part number (I have a number of Corbin receipts). You can call them and ask them for the part number for the back rest pad used for the tour pack in the solo position.

Oh, because I switch back and forth from solo to dual, I just put chrome acorn nuts and bolts in the holes when it's in the solo position.
