But thought some of you might enjoy some photos from last weekend Norcal TT (vintage 2 day Sierra ride)
I'm the idiot in the orange helmet on the 1st shot. Rolling pretty fast (for me) on Highway 70. Of course the guy that took the photo was on a 26hp 500lb old BMW...
I was not on my phone...
pretty moving piece about smart phone addiction.

Speaking to myself here: use your device as a tool, don't let it use/change you.
Long shot but my very old pair have finally worn out.
or...does anyone know if Helmut will be making any more?
I've looked around for a substitute, but can only find gloves made in China/Pakistan or maybe Lee Parks (made in USA).
Even longer shot...anyone have any even older Made in Germany...
Anyone need a back up/buddy/just want to try dirt riding pair?
I just bought some new boots, Just can't throw these away as they have at least a season or two of life left in them, but already have back up boots.
functional
worn sole
missing metal toe cap one boot
all clasps work fine/snug...
Older model
These have vented zips, made of Cordua and are really well made (better than the new ones), zippered pockets.
Some pipe burn damage at lower leg and, frayed velcro, but lots of life left in these and I just can't throw them out.
I lost weight and they don't fit. Size 38 waist...
Just got back from a fine weekend riding with some new folks. Thought I'd share a bit
Videos are not mine and I stole some photos from some of the riders. The 1st two vids are from a from a local to the area sort of the Huell Howser of the Sierras, He is a history buff . Check his other vids...

Mostly old euro/japanese bikes, but all folks interested in old/odd iron are welcome, ride anything in. Good vibe pretty informal.
I'll bring the red Beta or the black/nickel Guzzi.

Maybe see ya there.

This came with a motorcycle that I just purchased. I have never used it, but it looks to be in good condition with not much use.
Much higher quality...
