US-20 just past O`Dark Thirty

 

20 heading into the smoothed out Deadman's Curve (just east of Woodbine)
Nice, spacious horizon

 

The lefthander coming into Galena.
Somewhat of a decent sloping dropoff - no guardrail

Heading North up to Stagecoach Trail

 

Ride #2 route
Start with a full group - then make a wrong turn and loose the first 10 - off our small group travels

 

Waiting to turn onto 20.
A couple waiting to head into Happy Joe's just stayed outside and kept looking at the bikes.

Oh, and speaking of bikes - from a Rec.Moto post:

Allen:
Jenn's got a 79 750F, Bob's on a 70 thru 72 CB750K (although we were calling it the 900 RR for a while - 900 for the adventurously large pistons he was running, and RR for rat racer.  But that was a motor ago - bad honing job at the shop that did the boring), Amanda will be on a 76 550F, Rob will be on a 75 400F, and Darin will be on an 81 750F.

Bob:
There will also be a Norton Commando 850, a '70's KZ 650 or two, 3 or 4 '70's Moto Guzzis, a BMW R100, an old bevel drive Ducati (I forget which model, but it's a 900), a Ducati Monster 900, a 305 Super Hawk, a '73 CB 750, maybe a KZ 1000 or a BMW R1150 S, maybe a GPz 750 Turbo,  a '00 Triumph Tiger, and something weird.

Sure, it's MOSTLY old Hondas, but there's a fair amont of other stuff too.
 
 

Off on our own - but thinking the others may still be ahead.

Didn't find'm at Blanding's Landing -
heading back to the Chestnut Mtn intersection
(we should have headed into the resort itself)

 
 


 
 


 

Ahhh, taking the road less traveled . . .

 
 


 
 


 


 
 


 
 
 


 

Last segment for me with the group
Galena to Chestnut Mountain Resort for some competitive Alpine Slide action

 

One long snake of bikes

 
 


 

Rules - can't read'm now - didn't read'm then
Somehow I get the feeling that you shouldn't buy a ticket unless you're a crazed motorcyclist wearing full body protection!

 

Just a few of the group

 

Amanda and Allen
(I'm try'n to get the names right - e-mail me with additions or corrections)
It was probably on this run that Allen recorded a 25 MPH max speed - later to be ranked up by others - and then topped by Allen at 46.1 MPH

 

Good twisties - no gravel in the corners - you can go WOT - just don't wipe out and get a bit of slide rash

 

Next...

 

Scotty, I vant more power!

 

Big Bob - Big Smile

 
 


 
 


 

Slide Rash (Darin?) - we need video!
