You have to wear the furry orange helmet :gamer:
And perform a low level, high speed fly-by passing a parked CHP unit. Then get photographed by Taho PD with your LEO magnet helmet.
Taho PD (https://www.flickr.com/photos/36991650@N08/shares/bku5WS)
The officer was professional and polite and talked with us about how the Taho residents have zero tolerance for bikes passing over the double yellow.
Mark - in Tahoe we were just performing a service --putting all the motorists at ease but getting out of their way and through town expediously as possible.... why they dont see it that way is beyond me.
Or we were just playing follow the leader so its all Randy's fault

Ok, we're in too! Looking forward to catching up with everyone!!!

Great news and not just for the cobbler. I can't wait to see what antics he will be up to this year. I'am wondering if Animal will be making a visit to Willits this year.

The WCR is now just over a week away. I am going to be here at the shop basically from now until Wednesday night before I head out for Willits.
If anyone is traveling and wants to stop by the shop now is the time. We will have a little time for some minor maintenance/repairs if needed. I can mount & balance tires, change oil or adjust valves (time permitting).
Robert will be here until noon on Friday the 3rd to get the orders out and be here if needed.
Also, if there is anything anyone wants me to bring to the rally please sent it to me in an email; randy@rpmracingca.com

Susan (not a lib either) has been suffering with a recurrent case of bronchitis since the cold and wet end to our Wednesday ECSR ride last week (shoulda heeded my warnings about Boone WX in May, and the need for rain gear), and so, will miss the WCR. She may be well enough to meet up with me in Ouray...
That sucks! Hope she gets better soon. Fingers crossed for Colorado.

At least it will be in the low 90's in Willits.

The coast looks like foggy mornings, topping out in the high 70's.
The Stewart's Point General Store has reopened, but the fuel pump hasn't.
So no gas between Jenner and Gualala.

So, since I am bring up three bikes and I can only ride one at a time, I am towing. I has been a few years since we have looked at the wheel bearings on the trailer. So, in true day before we leave fashion, the wheel bearings come off.
While those are being serviced I look at the undercarriage of the trailer/axle at say WTF... :shok:
The axle, which is a Dexter "Torflex", has broken away from the rear mounting brackets on both sides. The axle is being held loosely in by the single front bolt which now has worn holes and cracks as well.
So, that axle comes out, the brackets are repaired and gussets are made. Now all we have to do is install it in the morning and put the wheels on, load up & head out.
Am I breaking the rally rules...?
Randy - RPM
Steve and I made our first leg of the trip up. Steve over packed so we had to take the trailer. Others are telling us to upgrade but Steve says no, it has been good to us for a 100 years.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :good:
Just an FYI for any rolling into Willits via 101 north, we got stuck in a 45 minute traffic jam while cal trans appeared to be watching the weeds grow along the guardrail, about 2.5 miles south of town. Don't sit too long on your aircooled bike, or it will become air-overheated.
The jam extended quite a way back into Willits, nearly back to hwy 20! Apparently this cleared later in the day, so early arrivals may be their primary targets...
Weed in Calif., say it ain't so :lol: Have a good time and ride safe.
