JC we may be making some trips to the Reno area in the future and would like to hook up with you guys for some rides. Looks like my kind of country for riding. Graet pictures and thanks for the hook up with Skylwag.

The difference is some of us don't have to ride to get to those conditions all we have to do is open our door and it's there... for days and days at a time.

Hehehehehe. If he had to deal w/it on a daily baisis or it was on the roads for days and days at a time then he wouldn't think so highly of it to want to take close up pictures.

That must be one hell of a camera and a great photographer cause we all know that bike has over 48k hard miles on it!

Thanks Melanie.....that's a great picture for sure. Did you happen to get one of Terrie's?

Trapperdog · « **Reply #35 on:** March 08, 2009, 10:05:45 PM »

Here's one, that dang blue bike almost ruined the pic though

JCZ · « **Reply #36 on:** March 09, 2009, 10:43:51 AM »

Thanks Roger!

For all those of you still stuck in the snow.........we here in Cali are happy to provide all these ride reports (I notice there are a lot of people in this board this morning) for your viewing pleasure!

I like the spring rides the best. Everything is green, wildflowers everywhere, creeks, rivers and waterfalls flowing everywhere, not to cold and not to hot, the bike loves the cool weather, great company, etc. etc. etc.

Mrs Rooster · « **Reply #37 on:** March 09, 2009, 10:48:51 AM »

We sure enjoy the weekend ride reports with all of the pictures. Always looks like a great time.

Let's see........I believe that would be East Waterloo Rd.. Maybe we should meet there for my birthday ride........it's only one exit away. That way everybody can get their lottery ticket before we leave.

Damm , now thats a snow blower. If we had those around here I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be doing weekend rides. Just now checking the ride report, great pictures, thanks JC, Teri, Melanie, & Roger. I had a great time as I always do whenever I get together with this group. I agree with JC its always nice to see everything green in the hills. Love that rolling green. Its kinda trippy ridin with the snow on the ground like the pictures showed. I remember their was snow on the ground at the end of the Quincy ride also. I also rember riding home from Reno (street vibrations) 2 yrs ago while it was snowing or just starting to and that was NO FUN....so I know why the bikes are still in the garages. Looking forward to the coming riding season and GTGs with all my CVO friends. Hey Don, I love my new wheels and certainly the new rotors, I can reallly notice the difference with braking and who wouldn't like a little more chrome. Thanks again for the deal on rims/wheels. See everyone soon, Jon
