Most of my time "in" UT and NV is spent at altitude 35,000 feet. Too high and too cold for a KLR. Looking out the window, I see vast stretches without many indications that there are people for miles and miles, and my constant thought is: "I want to ride down there" Mike PA usually CA sometimes Arden Kysely wrote:

Yo Mike, don't know which route you are taking to the Reno area, but I am in Santa Cruz 40 miles north of Monterey straight up PC-1 (straight across the bay). Feel free to drop by for some strong coffee to get you to Pat's house. (Except this Friday, I'll be doing my chain and sprockets at my friend's shop and then going to the RUSH concert at the Shoreline Amphitheatre). If you think you'll drop by, send me an email and I'll give you my number. Some friends are trying to talk me into going to 'Seca, but I am too overwhelmed with my own trip preparations right now. Have a good trip. Charles Santa Cruz "mike torst" wrote: Oh, such memories are still with me - I grew in Reno, Nevada (1960-1976) and still know most areas. For me the best riding was near Hunter Lake. Pat, I will be at the Laguna Seca Superbike Races this weekend (7-9,10,11). After the finals on Sunday (the 11th) I am thinking I will visit family rather than return to LA with the dozen riders I arrive with from Malibu, CA. Itinerary for the return trip is still to be determined, but several guys I know that will be in the Monterey area for the races are from the Reno / Tahoe area. As the KLR is not a 100hp plus bike, I may not tag along with their mega hp road bikes. If I go to Reno to see my family I'd like to met ya, if only for coffee, before I gather up and head south to Las Vegas. Of course, I could put my gear somewhere and we can go riding in the hills near your place. I am currently set-up w/ a 16t front sprocket so I can better keep up w/ the street bike riders. Of course, I can bring a 14t, just in case you want to go dirt riding. I would like to do so. Gardnerville, NV - Dang - I have my hunting and fishing license in my wallet as well...

I live 50 miles south of Reno, 12 miles to the east of Tahoe. Most days I go dual sporting into the Great Basin, once I am off pavement its common to have dawn to dusk days where you never see another soul. Pat G'ville, Nv [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

South on US395, at the northern end of the Owens Valley, just esat of Lone Pine is the Alabama Hills. If you watched the old westerns the Alabama Hills are burned in your memory. This is the area with the endless, giant, bulbous granite outcroppings with the Sierra Crest in the background. Al the Hop-a-long Cassidy films were made here. Every fall they hold a western film festival in Lone Pine. ANd I do remember Sky King, the Cimmeron Strip, Bat Masterson, Daniel Boone, Laredo, the High Chaparral, Wanted, Dead or Alive, The Rebel, Wagon Train and all the others. BTW, the Ponderosa Ranch up at Incline Village is up for sale and the interested buyers are all talking of tearing it down. Pat G'ville, Nv [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

You gonna have to take her to S.F.or the West Village for that. And she's going to be disappointed.

I know what you mean. When I fly to DC I take a United hop from Santa Barbara to Denver that goes right over some of my favorite red rock country. Makes me cranky when it's cloudy and I can't get my fix! __Arden

Oooh SLO and SB counties... now *that's* year round riding! I wanna ride there too. Routes 166, 41 and 46 come to mind. We can (and do) ride year round in southeast PA, but you gotta bundle up real good in January! Told wife I want to ride across the country soon. She said "OK, I'll fly and meet you there". Mike

tell what make of vehicle is behind you or that you can tell the difference between a minivan and a motorcycle? I've been planning on taking the stock antivibration mirrors off my boyfriend's Honda XR650L when he gets new ones, but like the idea of a folddown mirror.

At least here in Michigan only a left mirror is required, so the right stays off almost all the time, the left I used to leave threaded in just a couple turns, since forward impact would "loosen" the mount (one hopes), last fall took off the top few threads on the backside, but left me enough to thread it back in at least. Tossing in backpack works too, but I use a hydration backpack and nervious that the mirror might poke a hole in the bladder. Dooden A15 Green Ape
