Wine country romp
#1

Last Saturday was my first out of the area romp on the CB1100. From Vallejo in the North East San Francisco Bay area up Highway 29, horrid traffic, to Napa. Once on the Silverado Trail on the East side if the Napa Valley traffic was light but bit slow for my taste. Not too bad as the scenery is always spectacular. From Calistoga in the northern end of the Napa Valley, over the hill into Knights Valley was, as always, a beautiful set of twists. Foot pegs didn't touch though the toes of my boots did. Through Knights Valley, then through the next set of twists into the always beautiful Alexander Valley. Smells of fermenting wine was incredible. At Cloverdale, time for some freeway riding to Ukiah. Then, Back home. All in all, a sweet 200 plus mile day, and somehow 12 bottles of wine found their way into my top case. Wonder how that happened?

Sounds like a good day, JH. A dozen bottles of wine is a fair weight in the top case, no?
