Left on of ours off sheep ranch to deal with the toothless banjo players and find his way back home...bah! At least he is still smiling!

Hey, I think we finally outran the storm!! It only took 160 mph to do it!!

Saturday was much better......I was supposed to meet NoGall at the end of the June Lake loop but as usual Miss flaky took a detour to Lake Ian instead:

Dear RydThers,

They say Hawthorne is dead.
They say this trip has lost its soul.
They say we are but a bunch of Starbucks posers.

Your friendship is the soul to this trip, or to any trip.
You are the reason to this silly grin on my face today.
You absolutely rocked both on and off the bikes.

I wish they were there.

Thank you all for a wonderful weekend.
Thank you for being there.

I'll post up some pics after this pile of papers on my desk.

nice...
I am having some difficulty nailing exactly what the beauty of Hawthorne is. Certainly is was the camaraderie of the group, but the remoteness of the location, and being on roads without another soul in sight, or perhaps only you fellow rider buds… the freedom I felt was indescribable.

I count my blessings at the shit I get to do. And in and around Hawthorne, you can do whatever you like.

Thanks guys.

After spending quite some time at this gas stop in Nevada, Larry declared false advertising: there was no bait to be found and not all of his needs were met. :laughing

Hooked up with Myblunt, SVBEEGAL and Cinninatus for lunch at the Mt.View BBQ. Good stuff. They took off before me but I caught them at Bridgeport thanks to the construction. We had great lighting show in Bridgeport then gassed up and rode. I rode with them up to the Mono Lake Vista Point.

Cinninatus giving the BARF salute.....Fun riding with you dude!

After drying off on Hwy 167 we arrived in Hawthorne to join the party.

Just getting started:

another amusing observation of riding in the Hawthorne area:

When you saw any other motorcyclist, it was prolly a one in three chance it was a barfer. You could tell if they were barf because we wear gear. Other folks are in shorts and shit.

Machete just finished putting a condom on his dash.

It appears that Hondagrl shaves her pits.

 

[veefereefer]

Clean and well maintained

Nice shots. I'm still kicking myself for not stopping through there on the way back.
