It's in my back yard, so-to-speak. I used to ride out there from the west valley, but now that it is a 45 minute bop with such amazing scenery, including Canyon Lake, it's a weekly jaunt.

It's in my back yard, so-to-speak. I used to ride out there from the west valley, but now that it is a 45 minute bop with such amazing scenery, including Canyon Lake, it's a weekly jaunt.
Brought a camera along just for one pic.
My track bike in street legal trim, way too F-fast for public roads. I was doing 70 through turns with those yellow 35 MPH signs.
My 1100G and CBR600 both have issues, so the 1127 was the only option.

Did the usual 65 mile loop clockwise today, late afternoon, staying mostly in 4-5th gear maintaining positive throttle, lowish rpm, except when braking.
Complained in the past about being bored with this loop, but it's actually it's quite good twisty bit.
Realized I know this road well, so in these times I can try different approaches to riding technique on all the corners I already know well.
One section has recent sloppy asphalt patch repair with marble like skat everywhere, no traction when leaving patched areas, so getting thru those areas clean
provided a new riding challenge. Twas a good "essential" ride for mental health.

One huge key to safety while riding fast is knowing your road, making sure about degraded pavement before committing to a deep lean, and eye discipline.
We can agree, riding on public roads is hardly closer than 50% of track riding.
Riding intensely on public roads is more fun and safer on a light weight lower powered bike, from my experience.

Is THAT bike ..... THIS bike?
Pic from June 2016 when I was about 80 miles from here, heading south, and this bike pulls up next to me on highway, rider waving at me to pull over...... hey it was you.

Those guys look to be about 3' from each other, Trevor.
Yes...that was not a good moment...I told them too!
LoL-good on ya!
That's the false sense of security that comes from wearing all the gear, all the time.
Lol...you are probably right!

A+ young man. now stop shooting spit balls at Becky or I'll send you to the principal's office.
I'll be headed to Tombstone and Bisbee for my annual birthday run this Friday. Reserved the rooms months ago. Checked with the various restaurants, breweries and coffee shops I like and they are all doing take-out. It'll be quiet on Allen Street this time around, no doubt. I'm bringing a western novel to read, and plan to watch Deadwood: The Movie on my Kindle while I'm in Tombstone.
I've been to Bisbee Arizona, my cousin lives there. I also have a cousin that lives in Sierra Vista, he works at Cochise Yamaha in Sierra Vista. It's a very cool dealership, there is a second story balcony where the owner keeps his vintage motorcycles for display. Definitely worth checking out if you can. I love Arizona!
I ride to Tombstone and Bisbee every year. I love them both dearly.
Thank ye sir! HAHA I had a few of my subscribers ask for more informative videos of my travels about the land marks I go to. See how this one is on the long term to see if I'll do more like it.
FYI I hit 1000 Subscribers last night, wouldn't be there from you guys that SUb! Thanks so much for following along! Now I'm monetized... Who woulda thunk that!
Glad to see you guys out getting miles!

To only those that choose to listen... (Or can stand to :lol: )
I have a great group of folks that follow(ya'll know who you are that do here; so, THANK YOU!). I'm glad to know that I enrich folks through our shared passion of riding motorcycles.
Best,
