    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I used to live in West Sacramento and got a job with EDS out in Woodland Cal. and there were multiple routes to my destination. But I have to tell you riding the motorcycle to work everyday was probably the coolest thing ever. I had one route that was basically hiway 80 over the causeway (huge flood plain that went for miles and miles) to another 3 line freeway to woodland. Or my favorite. In West Sacramento there is a road called Harbor Blvd, one direction takes you to the port of Sacramento, the other direction is where I'd head. You'd take a quick right off of it and you were headed on the Sacramento river road which was one of the prettier rides in the valley in my opinion. It ran right by the Hiway patrol academy where they have this HUGE test track, but anyway, past it the road parallels the river and your maybe 50 feet above it on the right side as your headed to woodland. On the left is farm after farm of some of the best agricultural area's the valley has. It was just a spectacular ride every morning and night coming back. There even a small white obelisk marker on the road that few probably even check out that was a marker of where a steamboat on the river blew up and several prominent citizens died. Across the river were huge houses which had yards stretching down to the river. The coolest part was the low temps in the summer of the area and the sites and smells and things you just don't get when driving a cage. Thats the best part of biking in my humble opinion.

You will find that most people here can relate to that. Early morning ride through the country with the smell of new mowed hay wafting through your helmet........awesome !

Welcome to the GSRs.
 
The "road less travelled" reminds of reads from Neil Peart, Rush drummer and motorcyclist. He has written many tales of riding on tour, and more. He used the term 'shunpike' to describe his routes covering 20k between gigs on one tour. The word has cool historical meaning and I find myself thinking of shunpiking my way here and there.
