Nuts!

How can you mention this?

You know how much I miss Kalifornia! :(

You will be close to my old home of Sonora, on the other side (west) of Yosemite.

Enjoy and be safe. Watch out for the liberals in their Priuses. Make sure you really gas it when you pass them. The sound of a monster V-Twin repells them like garlic. :P

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmmmmmmmmmmmm gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

say that in the mannor of a car passing you by if you were to be standing on a street corner..

LMAO!

Of course the only way a Priss will pass you is if you're walking, or on a Chinabike :P

Here we go with the thread drift again...

O.K....! Got back today! Not a ton of miles. Only about 700 over 4 days....but ask Doc....it's all twisties!
What a GREAT time! Saw a ton of folks in the VMC I only see once or twice a year.
Only got a few pics but will land more later, if you'd like to see them! Was to busy riding....eating....and of course....a few adult beverages after the day was done.
Enjoy!

Mrs 2LZ dressing her Kingpin for the trip.


Waiting to meet our friends at the Sutter Creek Palace. (Remember that Doc?) My TC in all her glory.


Taking a breather at the top of the Little Dragon, HWY 49 on the way to Docs old home, Sonora.


Just a small section of the Little Dragon.


Yosemite Valley, in front of El Capitan.

California is SO BEAUTIFUL (not as beautiful as Mrs. LZ though. )

Thanks for the pics. I am VERY familiar with the areas in your pictures.

At my old job in Sonora I took 2 hour lunches. I spent 1/2 hour on paperwork, 15 minutes eating, and an hour at the gym. If I wanted, and hustled, I could ride my Interceptor 800 to Yosemite, sit on a log and eat my lunch inside park boundaries and make it back to the office in time for my first afternoon patient!

More pics, please!
