Whole house. I can't find the find the connections in the walls for all the boxes. The floor and driveway are both painted. Just waiting for the first time a center stand chips it.

Coming home from Torrey we ran into hail while climbing Banner Mountain. The little car got pretty squirrely as we got closer to the summit. The summit itself was covered in a couple of inches of ice!

This was taken a few miles later when we finally broke out of the storm.

Ice and hail at Torrey in the spring.  Imagine that!

I'd really like to change the world
And save it from the mess it's in
I'm too weak, I'm so thin
I'd like to fly but I can't even swim
Wish I could fly like Superman.

A four banger GS! :yes: :grin:

 

It is not a dirt bike - street tires, way too stiff suspension, and the oil cooler is but inches above the dirt!

With the big distances (sometimes) out there you have the 701 LR to take the next gas stop worry out of the picture. ;) Funny, a guy mentions a potential motorcycle purchase and all the wannabe salesmen come out of the woodwork. :rofl:

Looking forward to meeting you at START, Dennis.  Scenery will be opposite of the desert mountains and both regions have their own beauty.  

 

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone 'back east' too! My first duty assignment, in 1977, was Dover AFB. I made a couple of trips down Skyline Drive and the northern tip of BRP. Just enough to make me want to come back and see more.

We circumnavigated the San Gabriel Mts today, heading up Angeles Crest Hwy>Angeles Forest Hwy>Upper Big Tujunga(twice)>Mt Emma Rd>Fort Tejon Rd>Big Pines Hwy>Lone Pine Rd>15>210>Mt Baldy Rd>Glendora Ridge Rd>Glendora Mt Rd>East Fork>39, and stopping to eat at The Griz in Wrightwood.  They did have sit down dining, as they are in SB Co., and we chose to sit on the patio to enjoy the cool air.  GRR and GMR were supposed to be open according to the county road closure website, but I've learned to take their info with a grain of salt after having riden up there Wednesday only to find that the Forest Service employee was closing early for the expected holiday weekend fire hazard conditions, just because he could.  Grrrrr!  Anyway on the way up Mt Baldy Rd there was a large LED sign that said GRR was closed, but we continued on anyway to find that IT WAS OPEN!  YAAAAY!  It's a glorious 15 miles or so that will leave a smile on your face.

Here we are at Clear Creek station at 830am

Taking a break at the PO.

Looking N from the intersection of GMR and GRR.

And looking S into the greater LA basin from the same intersection.

It was a great day for riding in SoCal, although a bit on the cool side at elevation:  High 50s.

The K Bike will need a good shakedown ride when I get it back together. Socal between Christmas and New Years might be just the ticket.

Give us a heads-up if you decide to come this way. Us Socal folks are always looking for an excuse to take a ride!
