This was a costly President's Day Weekend in the North (San Francisco) Bay

From the Santa Rosa Press Democrat:

"In the first crash at 11:38 a.m., a motorcyclist was killed in a solo crash on Highway 116 near Sparkes Road near Sebastopol.

At 12:25 p.m., a motorcyclist suffered possible back and neck injuries in a solo crash on Stewarts Point-Skaggs Springs Road near Lake Sonoma."

Bummer.

I know the inclination to go out and ride whenever the weather gives you a break.  I also know that any day I don't ride my skills deteriorate and that winter roads carry all sorts of extra "challenges" (debris, pot holes, moisture).  I try to take that into consideration when riding this time of the year. I fear not everyone does.  Shrug

Stay safe everyone...spring is coming!

It was beautiful this weekend, but I passed on going for a twisty ride just because all the other haven't-ridden-in-6-months folks were going to be out, blowing corners and generally re-learning how to ride.

No thanks, I think I'll wait.

Not me, I rode my ass off Banana.....but then, I got that new Sprint that demands to be ridden Bigsmile

Hwy 49 near Coulterville (Calif. gold country) was getting ripped up with Sporting bikes, but all was safe.  It did get a bit spooky back in town when we started encountering the Cruiser crowd going home after spending that glorious 74 degree day at the local biker bars Rolleyes.....there was shit loads of them rolling around town between 3 & 4 pm
