Many years (and motorcycles) ago, my first touring bike was a 1984 Goldwing GL1200. Touring on that bike was great. I had a Diamond Custom Seat, AM/FM radio, and a radar detector. The bike was...

Mid-June weather has come early here in the desert. Today, the last day of May, will have a high of 105. That's 5 degrees above our average for this time of year. We currently have a breeze of 3-5...

It's now getting too hot to do much of anything outside here in the desert. I looked at the thermometer at 9:30AM and it was already at 90. Today we'll see a high of 104. There is a breeze of...

I've been following your thread! First of all..... Wishing you well on your recovery. My humble advice is to not overdo it. I've found that checking off just one thing on my to-do list each day gives...

To the uneducated, all road bikes are Harleys, all side by sides are Razors, all snowmobiles are Skidoos, and all RIB inflatable boats are Zodiacs. I was in a car show a couple months ago with my...

Going to get to 103 today. It's pool time for us desert dwellers. Did a little grocery shopping this morning. The local supermarket was giving an additional 10% discount to military members and...

Sunny, mid-90s and a little breezy (10-15 MPH) here in the desert. There are no clouds. By Memorial Day we will be in the low 100s. It's still cooling off to 70ish at night. Had a good day...

Day time temperatures have been right at 100 degrees here in the desert. Today will be no exception. We're still cooling down to about 70 at night. In another month or so we won't get much below...

This evening, I went on my usual golf cart cruise around the community. It's a ritual that has become a daily event. At 8PM I passed the time/temperature sign in front of our entrance, and it read 97...

I'd opt for the coastal route 10 out of 10 times. But then, I-5 is not enjoyable to me. I guess it all depends upon if you have a "get there" or "touring" plan. Good luck and stay safe..... Jim

Looks like your trike is still ridable. From AJ to Redland is a long ride! Glad the damage wasn't worse and that you are OK. We had another 100 degree day today and lots more in the forecast. ...

Today will be the 4th official day of 100 degree+ temperatures this season here in the desert. Many more to come! I've already started my mental planning for a summer trip up north in my little...

Lots of open range here in the desert. A few years ago, in my 4 wheeling/off-road riding days, often came upon cattle wandering around. Most had cactus spines sticking out around their nose and...

I'll be joining you soon (In spirit) on the porch. I have some Limoncello brewing right now. It'll be ready in another 3 weeks. The hardest part about making this tasty spirit is having the...

I used a method like Mike described in post #11 on a broken area on one of my bikes. First, I removed and cleaned the part. Then super glued them together. The crack was nearly invisible. Then I...

Happy May Day from the desert! Today it'll be 93 with no clouds and a light breeze of about 5 MPH. The humidity is 12% and the overnight low will be 63. This is the time of year that snakes,...

Back in the mid-60s and early 70s I got into dirt bike riding thanks to the influence of my friend Dale and his brother, Rocky. Dale and his family lived 45 or so miles from me and we often rode at a...

The last day of April is perfect spring-time weather here in the desert. Currently 82 degrees and heading for a high of 91. The overnight low will be 65. Humidity is at 13%. There are no clouds...

I am also a new member of your club. I bought a Mustang last year and sold my trike in December. Looked at Miata's and liked them a lot. Only problem is they are a bit small for my big ol' fat...

It got hot here in the desert. 102 at my house yesterday and 100 today. It'll cool a little as the week progresses but summer heat is coming way too fast. Still enjoying cruising in the...

The high today here in the desert will be 85. Overnight low of 58. Clear blue skies and breeze of 5 MPH or less. Today is the last "cool" day. For the next 10 days we will have highs in the low...

Brain farts can happen no matter how old the person is. But in my case, age is blamed because there is nothing else to point the finger at! A few years ago, while leading 3 bikes on a multi-week...

Today it will get close to 90 degrees here in the desert. Blue skies, no clouds and a little breezy. Had to crank up the air conditioner last evening to cool the house down to a comfortable...

We're enjoying great winter weather here in the desert. The high today will be 86. The next couple days will see us having mid-90s temps. Overnight lows will be near 60 degrees. The wind is calm...

I did a short report in the weather thread but will repeat it here. We are not in the path for total. We got about a 30% eclipse. The maximum was at 11:20AM. It seemed as if the sun was on a...

Sunny with a few high thin clouds here in the desert. The high will be 75. The eclipse was only about 30% here. We are not in the path of the total. Maximum eclipse for us occurred at 11:20 AM. ...

Sunny and cool today here in the desert. The high will only get to 65. Yesterday was very windy and cloudy with a few afternoon sprinkles. We are now in a warming trend that will gradually get us...

IMHO.....You can rent a few years of touring at motels for the cost of a good pull behind camper. And, not be hindered by having that extra vehicle tagging along and increasing your travel expense...
