Winter thread...how long?

...When I parked, the owner had texted me that if I decided on the way home that I didn’t like it; he’d take it back and refund my payment. I assured him that I was happy with it and that I’d take good care of it....

pdedse,

I lease a "Corporate House" in the East Bay to help our Team Members avoid the dreariness of a hotel when they travel from out of state. You are welcome to spend a few nights there if you want to take a break. I also have a network of AirBNBs that have been validated by Staff and Family who have visited previously. The East Bay looks like a nice mid-point for the trip to and from Portland. If you would like to explore NorCal with me or like some company on a trip to SoCal, I would be delighted. Please reach out if any of the offers spark your interest when the time is right. Regardless if I can tag along or not, we all look forward to your trip report. Best in 2026. David

Thanks so much for the kind offer, David.  I'll def. keep this in mind as I would love to ride with you.  

I was telling Gone via txt that my daughter who lives in San Diego is visiting for Christmas and we got to talking about summer plans.  Hers may include a conference in London during July, and when she travels she always needs help with her cat.  She studies at UCSD in La Jolla and lives just minutes from the beach, so it's a great place to visit.  I met Gone on my way there in summer of 2022 when I rode my RE INT650 to watch daughter's cat for a couple of weeks. 

We met up for lunch on my way to SD




Gone still has his, but mine is... gone.  





This is in the dream stage right now, but if it materializes, I'll be on the CB1100.
