Mt. Hamilton and Lick Observatory.....
« on: May 23, 2010, 12:16:03 PM »
Terrie, Don and I left Corbin yesterday and decided to go for a ride.  We didn't know where......we just headed to Hwy. 101 and where ever that front wheel led us.

We stopped for lunch in Morgan Hill.  Time for a little pizza.

Terrie's levitating.....


By the way, for those back east, Nor Cal is having some record cold temps right now.  We had our heated gear on and the heaters on our seats turned on.  It snowed 28 miles from Sacramento yesterday. :o

We stopped at House of Thunder Harley Davidson.  They had something going on.  Drag Specialties, Custom Chrome, Kuryakn and many other big vendors were set up in the parking lot.  Never did find out what it was but there were some interesting looking bikes setting in the parking lot.

The chrome plates under the saddle bags were interesting, visually.  At the back, they had a row of red LED lights coming out of the bottom, back of the bags, reflecting back up out of the edge of the chrome plate at the back.....

and these three bikes were getting their share of pics taken, too.  Of course it may have helped that we just happened to find open parking right in front of the door. :)

Soon, with a full tank, we were on our way to climbing Mt. Hamilton.  A very narrow two lane road 58 miles of twisties non stop.  It does get old but the views are worth it. :2vrolijk_21:
