Seen on today's ride
Seen on today's ride
Call me Mel. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me at home, I thought I would ride about a little and see the other parts of the world.

Knees to the deck then huh Melville? Hopefully you only scrapped the scrapped rocker cover!

Yeah, not quite there yet. The "40 mph" sweeper was a buncha fun at an indicated 60, but I think touching anything down happens closer to 80 on that turn.SteveD wrote:Knees to the deck then huh Melville? Hopefully you only scrapped the scrapped rocker cover!
The others were on a bumpy goat trail of a road. More about the scenery on that one.

Oops, not a surfing forum. The "40 mph" is on Hwy 299 here in CA just 25ish miles East of the coast. The others are within a few miles of the speedy one, on a road bypassed by the new highway. When I take my sons 'round the "40 mph" turn in the Kombi or especially the Westy (more power!) they give me a big "WWWHHHHOOOOOAAAAAAA" all the way around the corner.

Re: Seen on today's ride
, but no kids on the bike chez melville. When Mrs. melville is in a good mood as we go East, she'll announce the corner by saying "Assume crash positions." Uphill, the Kombi will barely do the posted speed.....SteveD wrote:So when ya take 'em 'round there on the bike you'll expect to hear a loud "faaaaaaaaarck"!melville wrote: When I take my sons 'round the "40 mph" turn in the Kombi or especially the Westy (more power!) they give me a big "WWWHHHHOOOOOAAAAAAA" all the way around the corner.

Re: Seen on today's ride
I am thinking that 40 MPH on that curve would be in defiance of the Dead Horse Rule.

The sign I missed last time up:
Had a great ride out there today--got 3 geocaches, including one FTF. One had been in place since 2001, up high on a hill next to a place that I'm sure Duane has been. Mrs. melville supports motocaching as we drive to get to 500 finds by Hallowe'en.
