Hello,

Well, I did it again. I took my RC51 for another tour last weekend. My two buddies, a VFR and a Harley rider and I took off for Reno, NV but we went through the smaller, twistier highways rather then the interstates. We took Hwy 4 over Ebbets Pass on Friday. It was spectacular. Just as wonderful as I imagined. Then we rode up to Reno for a night at Circus Circus Casino for drinking, gambling and women.

The next morning after our .99 cent Ham and Eggs breakfast we fired up our bikes in the casino garage and set off many car alarms. It was cool. :D Then we headed down Hwy 395 south for some beautiful scenery. Absolutely stunning! We hit the interchange for Hwy 108 which goes over Sonora Pass, Elev 9624ft. This is probably the most stunning hwy I have ever ridden on. I didnt know what to look at. The outragous twisty road or the breathtaking scenery. As ridiculous as it sounds I rode my RC51 at times at 20mph just to take in the sights.

Our ride took in about 600 plus miles. My legs cramped, but my back was fine. Thank goodness for tankbags. I also used a Throttle Lock and saved my right wrist too.

Something has gone freakishly awry with the weather gods. It is mid-60s here again, when it should be mid 30s. Not that I am complaining of course, but it looks like I'm going to have to fly the friendly skies to get some skiing in.

Great photo, Miguel!

Looks like you were near Chinatown, except for the trash on the ground, however it looks like you were getting some pretty violent winds (overturned trash cans).

Good eyes... As a matter of fact it was extreemly windy that day. If you look at it closer you will see that the awnings are also blowing around. The waves at the beach were close to 40ft tall. It was a brutal day but when on a bike... its all good.

Ciao!
