Where the Redbud Grows

I live in Sonoma County, the county just to the north is Lake County. You know that spring has come to Lake County when the Redbud blooms.

My Mom at Sears Point

The motorcycling world is large and convoluted, it turns out that my Mom's good friend is Brian Bartlow's mother. Brian is a sponsored, Kawasaki racer. So while I was in Laughlin, Mom and my Daughter, Lee, went to Sears Point to enjoy the races. By the way, Brian did well in the Sportman Class, he came in first.

BUG SPRAY!

BUG SPRAY is a wax based product that simulates dead bugs on your fairing. Pull into town and hide your trailer, just like you usually do, then apply bug spray to the front of your motorcycle. People will think you actually rode it!

After you have established your street cred, simply buff the wax based bug spray to a never ridden high gloss shine!

Heading for a Fall

I don't usually criticise other riders but I think this guy needs a new tire.

Big Butts

Does this bike make my butt look big?

Hacks, Trikes and What?

Trikes and ... other more than two wheel thingies, seem to be very popular this year. I saw a number of these three wheel Can Am things. They sort of resemble a snow mobile and I suspect they may have a snow mobile in their Can Am heritage.
I saw a lot of Sportsters with four wheels in a training wheel type configuration. Several had trailer hitches, and several appeared to be removable. I guess if you are feeling tippy you bolt on the other two wheels for security. While I like a nice side hack and would have one if I had the room, I think trikes and these other three and four wheelers are just weird, but to each his own.

Oatman

I really enjoyed our side trip to Oatman. This year there were fewer people in Oatman, but still plenty of nice bikes and great people watching. Wild burros roam the streets, ignoring the noise and looking for handouts of carrots.
