A friend and I went out yesterday afternoon. I was going to take the CB1100 but the Goldwing was already dusty from the day before so I took it. I was leading on a small road which eventually turned to nice gravel. Naturally my friend on his KTM 690 Enduro was elated. I pulled over here to drink and eat an apple while he fiddled with his tank bag that was trying to fall off.

I told him to take off and just wait for me when he came to an intersection.
After 1/2 mile or so the road degraded to rutted dirt as it started to wind up a mountain. Thankfully it was dry. Soon there was a "flagman ahead" sign, like why in the world would there be a flagger on this 1 1/2 lane path anyway?
Never did see any workers but soon came upon where they had graded a section then laid down about 4-6" of stone mixed in with the graded dirt. I was afraid I couldn't get going again if I stopped for a pic. It sure was squirrelly clawing up that section but thankfully after a few hundred yards they must have run out of stone so back to dirt.
The dirt road eventually turned back to gravel and a while further there was the occasional section of asphalt to show that section was once paved.
My friend was pulled over at an intersection saying we can't go right I already checked that out and you'll never make it. So we went left and thankfully after a couple miles on broken asphalt road ended up back on paved roads.
It was a perfect 65 degrees and other than about 5 miles it was a delightful ride on the Goldwing.
