I was raised by wolves. Very kind, very nurturing wolves. I love riding to a town a just barely learned the name of on a Friday, making a decision at the intersection to get myself lost 1000 miles away from home on a Saturday, and trying to figure out how the hell I can get home on a Sunday. Just ride a place and see a thing.

St George to California, Day 1

Heading outWe left St. George at 4:45 pm and stopped by to drop off Vern’s truck, and was on the road a little after 5. It was really windy through vegas, and coupled with the fact I’m never in a very good mood when I first leave on trips, it wasnt a very good ride. We gassed up in Glendale, ate at Jack in the Box in Vegas, Gassed up in Jean, and when we hit the California state line it was possibly the best ride i’ve had yet. It was cool, the sun was behind the mountain and no more wind. The Magna seemed to purr. We were rocking out on hawg trip tapes and I started to realize My wife and I were on Vacation! We gassed up in Baker and headed on to barstow. It was around 11:00 St George Time when we pulled into Barstow. We had to go back because we missed the KOA 5 Miles back.

Our camping equipment is great! we wondered how we wouldve gotten along w/o it.

Anyway, we rode 285 Miles last night. We\'re off!

Long Beach to St. George Utah

Randy was in St George, and I was waiting for my new seats to come in from Honda & when they came, I loaded up and headed for Home. Made 270 Miles & stayed in vegas with my sister, then headed into St. George the next day. Driving across the desert on my bike listening to “a horse with no name” was awesome. It was really hot, and didnt stop much except to stretch my legs & get a pop, etc.

Before I made this trip, the idea of driving on the freeway made me a bit paranoid. By the time I made it to Victorville, I was over that forever.

Long Beach to San Gabriel Mtns.

Bought the bike today & went to the San Gabriel Mtns with Randy. Randy Didnt bring a sleeping bag. We rode for 4 hours & slept about 50 yards from the side of the road. Randy Woke up frozen about 1 AM and we drove all night to get home, fighting to stay awake. Went to Denny’s trying to gear ourselves up for the long ride home and were dead tired. The ride home was great. Normally busy streets were empty & we flew the whole way. I am hooked.
