What I miss, I used to ride by here almost every weekend.

Motorcycle Enthusiast · 03-16-2011, 04:36 PM

I used to live there, I know all those roads.

Hopefully be moving back late this summer, I can't stand the weather 3/4 of the year here.

Here's a few pictures of my old stomping grounds. Gotten some pretty nice seat time except for today when I filled my tank with some bad gas which caused my bike to stall twice and sputter on the freeway when I opened the throttle. Got better once I topped off with shell.
