Reggie's World 2011 - high bandwidth alert

You know my house is your house, just give me a couple days notice so I can stock up the drinks and foods for you
Monique was thinking about riding up there as well to visit you and Terri........

 

Love it reg thanks! The only thing that keeps me sane in the winter is whipping down a mountain on my snowboard with my wife next to me on her skis! Soon enough we'll both be back on the VFR!

 

I really enjoyed that, and I second the compliments on your writing!
I don't ride by myself enough anymore. Don't get me wrong, I do prefer to have a couple buddies along to share the enjoyment, and honestly when you're scratching its safer in case of emergency. But when I first moved here to Charlotte NC, I rode alone to explore until I met some good riding buddies. I hadn't done that in so long, I made sure to get out by myself a couple times last season; once in chilly early spring and once in the fall. There is something about not having to worry if your route is ok with anyone else, leave and return whenever you feel like, and being able to turn down any side road on a whim, just to see where it goes. If its a dead end, no big deal, no one to complain but you.

I have ridden through Cali twice - one week in northern CA from SF to Crater Lake Oregon, and another from L.A. to SF and back via the mountains - and it was ABSOLUTELY beautiful country. I will always cherish those trips, and hope to do some more as my friend now lives in L.A.

 

New to group, but you defiantly putting the bug in me, still only toping out at the high 40's up here, but guess that is why they made snivel gear. Thanks for the pics...
