What a great time and what a great group of riders. I had the chance to mix it up with several different groups and had a blast riding, watching and learning. Riding with folks who are way above your skill level is fun, challenging and exciting.

Keep rolling through Lee Vining, stop at the CA/NV border, then roll on into Hawthorne. What? I get to have a room in the middle of the Vietnam Veterans Harley Group? Sweet! A few $0.50 beers at Joe's otta take care of that. Hey Dub713, wazzuFreddo, Jason and BARFers, great to meet ya, gotogotobed.

No, wait, that isn't happening. Keep going to Benton Crossing. More fun on the back roads to Benton then back to Hawthorne. RydTher dinner, get to meet more folks. What a great group this is! Great post day b-s-ing in the parking lot lounge.

Where is Mortifer and the South Bay crew? Damn, are we late? Only for breakfast. Head out with NoGall, Gsxrgirrl, Budman, Jessi, Flying Hun, RazorRay, Paul and Afterburner. After a stop at the Mono Lake overlook it is off to Bridgeport. After seeing other BARFers rolling through, we mount up and head for 108. Sonora Pass, sweet. Run into Morterfer and crew in Dardanelle, regroup at the Donnell lake overlook. Roll on down to Sugar Pine for some BBQ at Big Daddy’s. Wheel Muse drops in. We say goodbye and thanks as Afterburner, Paul, Razor Ray and I head for 49 North to hwy 12 and home. 976mi round trip. What a blast, can’t wait to do it again.

What an awesome weekend! It was nice meeting some new people and seeing a few old faces. I can't believe it's been 2 years since the Paso Robles ride. I didn't ride with very many of you guys, but Kurt, Freddo, and Chris it was a pleasure.

I need to start riding with barfers more often.

-Mark

Nice riding with you Mark. It's always great fun to ride with bad ass mofos who aren't afraid to head into unknown terrain and take the challenge head on. I got some great pics of you sand surfing on the FZR that I'll post up later.

You need to join us for the epic supermoto rides.
