You used to live out here? When did you leave?

Your bike's looking good.

Yes, we have taken a short ride around town. She likes riding, but with the kids and all, it's hard for us to block in a day to get some real riding in. We will soon. She says she likes it a lot.



I used to live a short distance from George Forman... he lives in a fortress. The land and house I had in that area I really liked. It was 5 acres and the house was built like a brick shithouse. I moved out of that area in 2007, when I got a divorce. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't wealthy... but the house and land was the best I ever had. Not many fond memories from the 26 years i spent in that area.

26 years, Did you have your bike(s) during that time? One of the main reasons I tolerate this insanity is because of my bike and the weather here. A ride down by the ocean seems to keep me chilled out. I also ride my bicycle more out here and that keeps me healthy. I have a nice little back yard with a small work shop I built - you know one of those man caves with a dart board and small stereo. I couldn't do that back east - not year round at least. I do miss the people back there tho, rock solid till the end.

That's to cool RK. Nice pics.

I took a ride down memory lane awhile back. Some idiot built buildings all over it.

I had the Heritage for about 1 year 7 months in that area. A lot of things started changing after I got it. I had other bikes through the years in that area... Suzuki ST100, Suzuki Savage, Honda Intercepter, Suzuki GS 850, and a Honda Goldwing. I didn't put near the miles on the other bikes as I did the Heritage.



Yeah, there is a lot of that too.

Thanks Eddie, I was thinking of all you guys when I took them.

It's funny how easy it is put miles on a bike you like. Those were all nice bikes but the ride of the heritage was night and day compared to those bikes.
I liked the Honda Sabre, the big one i think it was a V65. That was a cool bike also.
After I saw a gold wing accident (a story I don't want to share) I was never a fan of those bikes.



The fruit stand on the corner was just knocked down to put up condos. The best strawberries I'd ever had... gone like yesterday. Soon to be more people at the local market - making me wait while my ice cream melts...

Well, you got me curious... but I won't ask... but I want to.

2 sheets with feet sticking out of them, a gold wing upside down on its bars and seat, a debris field 50 feet long, clothes all over the place.

I was traveling south from salt lake city into nevada at night alone. I saw a couple on a wing, man and woman leave the gas station/cafe right as I pulled in, we waved to each other.

I stopped gassed up got some thing hot to eat and then left. As I got into NV, the road was being worked on. The Slow lane had been repaved and the fast lane was rough surface ready to be paved. There was a 3" difference in the 2 surface heights. I had to pass a car as I went from the smooth surface of the slow lane into the fast lane I dropped down 3 inches, kinda caught me off guard and pulled the bars a little. After I passed I went to get back into the slow lane because it was so smooth vs. the roughed up fast lane. As I went up the edge the bike almost went over at 80+mph. I caught it and learned a lesson. I was pretty shaken up thinking about what would have happen if I lost it... Just then, I come up on an accident scene... Fire trucks, ambulances, highway patrol cars, flares - the whole enchilada...

My bike has a low center of gravity, No massive storage boxes up above my seat. If it had, I would have lost it when I reentered the slow lane. The bike jumped over the ridge in the lanes and almost high sided me. I'm thinking that Gold wing did the same thing I did but because of the massiveness of the bike and top heavy nature of the seat compartment added with the weight of a passenger those poor people had no chance.

Once you see something like that, it stays with you. Every time I see a wing now thats what I'm reminded of. And why I don't like to talk about it. But maybe by me telling what happened you guys will have a heads up if in case you find yourselves in that situation.
