No offense Dwight, but I'll definitely be avoiding your Socal freeways on my trip as much as possible. My usual route to get to hwy 99 has me going through Highland up Cajon Pass, then 395 to 58 and into Bakersfield. I might be travelling with a friend of mine who rides a trike. Maybe we could meet up in Bakersfield for the ride up to Hanford?
I might just be shopping for a vintage bike at Hanford. I've been looking locally, but everything is overpriced. Not looking for a show queen, just a 90% bike that's a good runner.
I've ridden the GTS1000 once since I had my knee replaced in August. I still can't bend my knee far enough to ride the bike easily, and shifting is a bit of a pain. So the bike is just sitting in the garage on it's centerstand with a battery tender hooked up to it.
