Jayne;n97725 said:I used to take it seriously. Commuted Fremont to Santa Clara and Milpitas to Cupertino for 12 years rain or shine, took a few tours in the Alps for vacations, did some track days at Laguna Seca and Thunder Hill, rode Hwy 9/35 most weekends, even managed to walk away from a wreck on my VFR800. Now? Mostly the bike keeps the battery tender company.
I was never very fast, but had no problem hopping on the bike for a quick SJC -> PHX -> LAS -> SJC tour. Made the SFO -> SAN run a few times, once the boring way on I5 and the other on Hwy 1 down through Santa Barbara.

'05 ZRX1200R. Ditched the air box, went with individual filters, jetted & tuned, 2* ignition advance & some pretty, thin-walled, robot welded titanium tubing & a muffler you could drop a tennis ball through. Was my divorce gift when I threw the ex out. This bike was wicked fun & brutally fast. It'd feed you the handlebars in 1st or 2nd in a heartbeat. Grabbing 4th at 10k was like making the leap to hyperspace.
I had to sell it before it killed me or got me arrested.

I was (am) a vintage BMW airhead fan. I'd tear then down and do cafe racer restorations. Favorite two were a 73 R75/5 toaster tank with super trapp exhaust, a 75 R90/7(s) that I made into the famous Dayton race bike (got the last Daytona race cam out of Germany, race pistons, and Dunstal replica race pipes). Damn that r90 idling with the cam loping was music to my ears.
I'd wake up on Saturdays, walk outside drinking coffee and select which bike I'd ride. Living in WNC, I often would just ride places I'd never been. Toward end of day, try to figure out where the heck I was and ride home. Hilarious to ask someone where I was!

Sonora is one of my favorites.
Ridden all the passes. About the only thing I really miss about CA is the riding.
