Jeeze,
I seem to have become some sorta "old woman."
Please login here and let me know that all have returned home safe and sound.
It was the best ever WCRM and we all seem to have escaped it unscathed so far...let this old man (and woman...Beck-zuki is right there with me) know you've returned home safely.
...and thanks to all who attended. You made our spring....now back to reality (sigh).

Not home, but at my destination in Sunnyvale. Highway 1 is AWESOME up until you hit civilization and then you get stuck behind idiots that can't even drive the posted speed around corners.
I got stuck in horrible traffic in San Francisco, but I couldn't try splitting lanes because I had the system cases on. I was so jealous of the other bikes going by.
Then on 101 I was doing about 83mph (on gps) along with a bunch of other cars in the left lane. A state trooper blew by all of us in the right lane at about 95, and then pulled over some guy farther up that wasn't going nearly as fast. Only in California!
I'd last about 30-45 seconds in Washington going 20 over the limit.

That was leftovers from
Bay to Breakers
, plus the typical SF traffic. One nice thing about going through SF is that many cars move over to let you by when splitting

I got home at about 6.
Spectre and I were going to stop by the Samoan, but he had to finish packing. So I went ahead. When I got to the Samoan, no bikes where there. I hung out for about 20 minutes picking some road on the GPS, and no one showed. So I took off from there at 8 figuring I would head home. So I went back to Eureka, gased up, and put a little more air in my tires. As I headed South on 101 I saw Spectre pass me going North, so I u turned, and caught up with him. I let him know no one showed. he said he was gonna go try it, so I went too. We finished up around 10, and headed on our way. The breakfast held me until I got home. Although I did have to stop for some espresso on the way.

Oh, and I took 1 also. For the most part the cars were nice enough to move over to let me by. And the only CHP I saw passed me going the opposite direction as I was stopped taking pictures.
I do think it's odd that the speed limit is 55, and they have signs warning of nice sweeepers as 25/30 mph, but the hairpin turns just have an arrow.

I'm home Home, safe and sound, and BEAT (as are the other two I traveled with (Jeff & Kris). What a heck of a lot of fun this was.
We did Leggett FOUR times with the fourth one being this morning on the way home. Jeff shot some video of Kris and me hookin' it up. I hope to post it later this week. I said jokingly before we left Reno that the Sport Tech rear tire would be toast by the time we got home ... little did I know how accurate this prediction would be.
Between the three of us, we killed us a lot of elephants up there

Home, alive, wet and cold. Started raining in Crescent City, and it followed me home for the remaining 8 hours. That'll teach me for leaving the waterproof boots at home. About 30 miles from home, watched a 3 car accident unfold before me in the rain at the I-5/I-405 North on-ramp. I will say that I'm VERY glad I had the Pilot Power 2CT's at that moment, kept it upright through the debris field and over the plastic bumper in the middle of the road.
So I'm going to decompress with a Jack and Coke right now, and wait for the feeling to return to my toes.

It always hot here. Are you just passing through or are you going to be hanging out with Arnie for a while?

Made it home with no problems, just a little rain going up I-5, but hey, this is the Pacific North-Wet.
Thanks again to to esteemed Dr. Gil and the Fabulous Beck-zuki and all the others who put in the hard work to make this meet the best yet.
I am looking forward to meeting at the same time and the same place next year.
