Nice day for riding, at times cold, but had a lot of fun. A milestone and another oopsie.Milestone-I got my Tin Star. Terry and the Chapter recognized this accomplishment and Scott gave it to me at the meeting.
1st gas stop, Pala. HI, CAROL!!!
Now you can see the owie-I was on a small slope and felt it going. Since I had gone to the Skills Day that Vinnie Greva held, I took his advice to heart; 'If the bike's going over, DON'T TRY TO HOLD IT UP! For once I didn't, but I of course had to make an 'exit', so I pushed myself away from the bike and rolled off like a kid doing gymnastics. Chuck G. gave me an 8.5 but I wonder if that was for artistic content or on the Richter scale?
Nothing worse happened on me or the bike except the rear L flasher unit which broke off the 'stay, so I need both items. I was told that they are pretty easy to put on, so I'll order them and give it a shot. 
The bikes lined up in the parking lot. Neat neat place, "Merkaba" where I got some tea and wind chimes.
Going back down 243, twistys were FUN FUN FUN FUN. Held the outside line until the end of the curve, late apex turns, FUN FUN FUN.
