Big Trees in Northern California

Cruised south along the coast to Avenue of the Giants; Amazing! Did twistys 'till I was tired of them and headed inland to see family. More later. Nick via BlackBerry

New Toy, Strom II

On Tuesday I bid on and won an auction for a 2006 V-Strom. Almost identical to Mr. Moto - the seller (Dave) had even outfitted it with most of the stuff I had/wanted; about $2k in add-ons. I got up at 4:30 this morning and boarded the 6 AM flight SBA to Medford Oregon where the Dave met me at the airport. A test drive and 90 minutes later I was making tracks for the coast. The guy suggested that route 299 was one of the best motorcycle roads in california and I have to agree. The weather is glorious right now - a wonderful warm spell that should last through the weekend. I pulled over when I hit the coast; going to spend the night in Arcada. Tomorrow I'm going to do a slow scenic trip down the coast through Fort Bragg and the Great Redwoods. A great day! Nick via BlackBerry
