Anyone riding these days?

Niiiice! I bought a Ducati 999 years ago that I found in the dining room of a southern Montana ranch house. Was six years old with just a thousand miles on it.

I usually don’t have the bikes inside, but this winter the garage/workshop is occupied with a car project I’m working on.

I got out for 124 miles today on my Suzuki cuz my guages are headed to Florida for a refurb. Gas was $6.69 a gallon so @ 37 mpg, I used 3.36 gallons, for just a bit over two hours cost over $20! Touring this year, even outside of CA is gonna be expensive.

Wow. Gas is almost exactly half that here for regular. Even diesel can be found for $3.44. Good thing, as I fueled up our camper truck this week and took 190 gal. We're going to Alaska for the summer, and expect fuel to be our biggest expense.

About 135 miles away is the Calaveras Big Trees S.P. on hiway 4 just east of Arnold in the lower Sierras. I walked the north grove path of 1.67 miles. Wutta day! These giant ancient Sequoias are magnificent and pictures don’t do them justice. I walked around the base of one of the bigger ones and it took 45 steps!

One of the downed ‘logs’ is large enough thru the middle that you can walk thru it. A lil creek runs thru it too. The table top stump is big enough to have a dance on. Some reserve it as a wedding venue
