Marty Hill Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Rode from cambria to malibu on the 1. Highest temp was 68. Had my gerbings on but not plugged in. Lunch at neptunes nest surrounded by 20 HD's who ignored the GS and me. Then east to pomona and the temp quickly climbed to 97. Welcome back to reality! Tim, fog on the coast so no pics.

Firefight911 Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 You are all making me jealous. 6 days post left foot surgery to repair a torn plantar plate so I'm not doing any riding for a while. Fall out the truck again did ya? You're funny! It could easily be true but not this time. Something about a crazy goal of 1500 miles running this year along with a couple half marathons, several other distance runs, and the culmination of everything to lead in to the California International Marathon in December. Over trained, over used, all pain is good pain, and BLAMO torn plantar plate requiring surgery with three pins to repair along with breaking a toe and shortening it to modify the forces to the ball of my foot. Just a walk in the park Kozansky! How'd I miss what you did? Link to comment
roadscholar Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I can...for reference,here is a shot from 2011 in the same place zoomed in quite a bit.If you look close there is a rider halfway up that track I remember that, your pics are what made me want to go up there. Link to comment

Marty Hill Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 A very special day. Followed Nora and Vlad down the Snake to the Rock Store. Spent some time with Vern, the owner who is a wonderful lady. Then on to Malibu for lunch at the Reel Inn which was recommended by my daughter Kathryn. Ended with a multi mile split session on the 210. I'm beat so it's time for pizza and wine. A pic will be added in a bit. Link to comment
terryofperry Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Went to a goat show, yep a goat show, the long way. Started a little foggy, felt great. Ken did NOT do the routing. Stopped to place a Georgia Tag And another tag. Another Nice architecture Lane split Motley crue Guest of Honor. Typical south Ga curve. Terry Link to comment
Huzband Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Had an impromptu GS tech day at my house yesterday. Computer Bob learning how to change FD fluid. How many BMWST members does it take to do a brake flush? Apparently all of them. Being the nice fellers we are, we even tolerated an Oilhead interloper. But they all had an ulterior motive for being here. Matt's yard buzzard & my baby backs. Carvin' it up here, boss. They seem happy don't they? Notice who's plate is empty. I heard the ribs were good, but they disappeared so fast I don't think anyone tasted them. So I figured I'd do it again today for The Wife & daughter. We enjoyed having everyone, & was glad most got all their work done successfully. Oh, what did I do to my bike? Not much. With Bernie's help it got stripped clean & the HID headlight installed. But as hot as it was, that was enough. Link to comment

Thanks Tim, but I squared all my debt up with Danny and Matt! And by good time, you mean Danny, Bernie, and Matt saving two years worth of bustin my stones and craming them into one afternoon as a good time, then yeah, it was a good time! LOL! Link to comment

Marty Hill Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Hey Eric, yeah it was after we left the Rock Store. Rode the Snake coming in. I was following and had no idea where I was till Nora and Vlad told me. Link to comment
ESokoloff Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Wrong photographer.. Here you are on the Snake heading down to the Rock Store. I try to hit the Snake at least a few times a month on the peddle bike so I know the area well. Link to comment
Marty Hill Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Thanks Eric. I was way to busy to see the fotog on the snake. Glad you found the pics. Link to comment
Highway41 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Looking good Marty, regardless of the road. Bernie and I used the gs-911 today to read codes, reset the service reminder, and check other goodies like battery condition, charging rate, stepper motors, ox sensors, etc. That gizmo sure does give you a lot of data. Took the front wheel off to mount a new PR3. The last one did 15K and its time's up. 54K service and the valves are still within spec and I have not had to adjust the TBS in quite a while.

Huzband Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 With Matts great help this past week, especially yesterday, I finally almost finished installing the farkles from the RT today. Put it all back together & went for a ride. Had to do some pokin' around. And of course I had to unleash the hooligan in me. It were a good day. Link to comment
Dean Wirsing Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I replaced the leftside headlamp on my 07RT today. My right side went out a couple thousand miles ago. The left side was 10 times easier - not a single scrape on my hand. Not sure if this was because I had done one already, or there is more room to access. Anyway, I was very pleased that the job was quick and easy! Dean Link to comment
Bernie Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Replaced my rear tire today, my old one had too many holes from the UnRally. Multiple plugs would not hold any more. For sale used tire with extra ventilation, make offer. Link to comment

Matts_12GS Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Pat, Gary is the owner of the hotel. IIRC, the older gent that crashed, his name escapes me but he is usually in the gift shop/art gallery there on the property. Link to comment

flat_twin Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) With my RS gone, I cheated on my airhead and gawked at brand new Vstrom 650 Adventure. With all mfg and dealer incentives, $8400. I'm going to test ride it tomorrow. The riding position felt real nice and I only hear good things about these Vstroms. Edited August 7, 2013 by flat_twin Link to comment
