2009-01-17 Hair Cut Ride

Sorry, all you frozen northern Penguins

Needed a haircut and breakfast. Left with best of intentions to work Hondarosa maintenance stuff.

Then again, hey, nice day out here… Warm, baby, warm, sunny n' warm.
Leaving the ranch.

Nice horsie.

Nice Lab Xing..

EagleOak ranch, Kenny Rogers used to own it, ever heard of him?

Arriving in Paso Robles, I find new recruits drinking the motorbike cool-aid. Several were dressed in combat fatigues, I wonder if they are currently serving?

Could you pass the beginner course? Just wondering... 'cause I've seen some of ya'll ride..

Nice old truck in front of the eatery.

Nice young WABS in front of repair shop next to eatery..

Thursday, I paid tribute to SFC Richard Lopez at Patriot Guard Rider mission. I had to stop by one more time, to see, experience the guttural finality of death.

After respectfully thanking SFC Lopez, I headed west from Paso Robles for some back roads to find this true American -

Further up the road, another cemeterary. Funny, I've ridden this road over 20 years, and never noticed, maybe the getting older n' wiser and heightened sensitivity to immortality (Andrew, Tim, and 2 other close friends) makes me now notice. Whatever, when it's done it's done and fuck the world.

Too much thinking, dcarver, just ride.

Uh-oh, Ollie, a barn? Andrew loved barns. Took soo many pix of barns... This one is for Andrew. Not Andy, mind you, Andrew.

The old Adelaide skool.. when things were simpler

Continuing west, some of the best property in the county..

Hey, Bustanut, Mr. Bully was excited to see a pix of you!

Roads that FJR's don't do so well on. Yes, the can, but they pay a price (which is why Crzy8 is down for fork seals right now)

Obligatory self portrait..

There's a campground out here.. Never seen anyone in it.. WFO7?

finally, reach the summit.

Yes folks, that the Pacific down there.

Symbolic -

Got curves?

On the way to Cambria..



Shit, another barn. Gotta stop and take a pix..

Then, a true blue hair old lady driver.. This car was immaculate..

And into Cambria, CA we go.

Caution, you old, geezers, a Cougar Alert has been issued!

Obligatory beautiful ocean beach shot..

Heading south to Cayucos..

I've always admired the tenacity of an auto repair shop to stay in biz for so long..

only to find out it's really a party house..

Cayucos pier.

Cayucos doggie..

Penguin living peeps, cover your eyes now!

A great place to eat.. Homemade food..

South again..

Where the fresh water meets the salt water.

It looks like I'm outta of pix space on this thread.. to bad, the beach pix are yet to come.. LOL
