I have a TV commercial where I say, "Big city training, small town caring". :P

It's good to be country!

I don't want to hijack the thread but I will post my TV commercial in the Misc. Section.

I actually enjoy visiting Pittsburgh, Doc.

I have fond memories of going to Forbes Field, and watching the Great Roberto Clemente coast under would-be triples. I never saw anyone with an arm like the Great Roberto!

I had the honor of watching Roberto Clemente get his 3,000 hit at Three Rivers Stadium. Several weeks later he was dead. :( He died prematurely in a plane crash while flying relief supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua. The Great Roberto was the best baseball player I ever saw.

Lots of bugs. Saw a huge rattler sun bathing in the middle of the road. No photo because I was busy negotiating curves and get out of its way.

The road to Crystal lake was closed for years, but it's open now.

FastDoc · 04-28-2011, 06:59 PM

Beautiful pictures, Roketa. I've been there, back in the day...

I bet your little bike was a hurting unit at 5,000+ feet! :P

Doc, you sound like youâ€™ve been everywhere. Yeah, there were smell of burning wood from nearby campsites in a mountain of green and sound of snowmelt runoffs everywhere, etc; itâ€™s nice. The OHV area is closed because the reservoir is filled from the rain. This really isnâ€™t the bike for twisty roads; Iâ€™ve ridden the same road on a road bike decades ago. Thatâ€™s not the reason I ride anymore. Buzzes and chuckas from a little engine that could are how my imaginary horse sounds now, besides thereâ€™s something rugged about riding a 3rd world utilitarian clone I worked on with my own hands. The Rincon trail will open soon.

Doc, you sound like youâ€™ve been everywhere.

I've been blessed to enjoy motorcycles for about 30 years now. I have hundreds of thousands of miles under me, I stopped keeping track years ago. I've ridden in, and to 49 states so far. Hawaii has been posing a problem, but I'm working on it. :wink:

Two accidents. One my fault. Stopped at an intersection 10 years ago got distracted and pulled out in front of a small SUV. broken leg. Was back on the bike in 2 weeks (just my fibula, but it hurt!)

The other accident you all know about.

About a dozen biffs on the dirt bikes over the decades but if there are no broken bones those don't count. 8)

Weldangrind · 05-06-2011, 12:09 PM

That's funny; Hawaii is the only State that I have ridden in.

FastDoc · 05-06-2011, 12:11 PM

I've ridden in BC. Up to Point Renfrew (if I remember the name correctly). Magnificently beautiful ride. We were blessed with nice weather too. One of the only long rides my ex ever went with me on. I have many nice memories of that trip. Makes me sad to think about it now though after eveything.

I LIve and rode in Hawaii for 5 years. I was stationed there - It's awesome. Highly recommend it if you can ever do it.

roketa200E5 · 05-27-2011, 10:57 PM

I didn't know there's a ski lift there. Elevation over 5,000ft.

Doc, don't tell me, you've been there. You know, the more I look at this bike the more I dislike the color. That said, it's never about the color I like, rather what others can see and this is one ugly a@@ color I don't think people will miss.

Round trip: 140 miles
92 Oct. gasoline consumption: ~1.7 gallons

This is one gasoline miser.

Weldangrind · 05-28-2011, 12:38 AM

Is that Mt. Baldy in Southern BC?
