    Not an ideal riding day but true to VFR status, you were riding when most weren't. Good on ya.

    Hey Pyro! If it was in the morning and heading 215 southbound, coulda been me! And Long's bike is black so prolly not him, plus he commutes to Irvine. I commute from Riverside to Temecula area but REALLY early in the morning while it's still dark like 5:30 in the morning. Haven't run into you on the streets yet but ya never know...

    Sunday November 8th. Westport, Ontario, about 2 p.m. or so. Down by the little marina, parked by the gazebo...3 bikes, one was a red 6th generation. The only VFR I saw on a day where lots of bikes were out on the road.
