Here it is folks! Post up your pics. If you're in the rally contest, post all your entry pics - up to three of the locations - here, and we'll announce the winners next week. If you don't post your pics, you'll miss out. :x

For the rest of us, just post 'em up and tell the story.

Friday morning at Hattar, the group gathered. Adeeb and the crew at Hattar were incredibly generous and hospitable - and it's a great looking shop!

The Zen House in Point Arena, one of the location in the BARF rally photo contest. Note the Versys in front with the official BARF rally towel on the seat.

A closer look.

P1050107.JPG


Don't have a rally towel? Ah, that's because you didn't come to the start at Hattar. Oh welll.......

The group gathering up to go riding Saturday AM after breakfast at the Samoa Cookhouse. :drool Check out the LSMFT paint job on Lonny gixxer! :cool Also note the LSL bar conversion. A man after Louemc's heart. :laughing

P1050108.JPG


A BARF salute from the locals while Kyle looks on obliviously, dazed by the presence of a camera. :laughing

P1050110.JPG


The crowd convenes at a scenic overlook on the way to Willow Creek. The place should have been kite flying central. The wind was howling!

P1050124.JPG


The next time the camera came out was on Forks of Salmon. I saw a place to stop and grab a few pics as the group moved on. This road rocks! Miles and miles of incredibly exposed goat trail leading to about 20 miles of completely empty road that some say is, "better than Skaggs". :wtf

P1050127.JPG


The road is barely perched above the river on a cliff side.

P1050130.JPG


A look back at the road from a rock outcropping.

Fernando stopped to grab a pic too.

Definitely an intersection you want to visit.

There's always one. Every year we make a point of telling people to be sure their tires are ready for the rally. It's so tempting to think, "The rally is only a thousand miles. Surely I can get another thousand miles out of these tires." WRONG!!! A BARF rally will shred your tires. Count on it. Like the sun rising in the east, some things you can count on. Below, we see a tire about 150 miles from the closest possible replacement, and by the way, there's no cellphone service for the next 50 miles or so.

P1050171.JPG


Better than Skaggs?! :wtf What is this heresy!?!?

P1050175.JPG


Ian enjoying it.

NorCal’s natural beauty and quietness are perfect for a roadside contemplation. A man could finally breathe, stretch and relax peacefully.
