|
Little pieces of Deb on the left...and Dennis and Will... meet at the Inyokern 76 |
|
Quick stop...Historical Marker at HWY178 and HWY14 where Leslie and her son Jason from Tehachapi join us...! |
|
Hiker on the Pacific Crest Trail...resting at the Walker Pass Historical Marker where Debbie and Tracy want to take a "California Passes Passport" photo |
|
The fellow moves some of his gear so Debbie and Tracy can take their photo |
|
I'm told to "...hurry up...get mounted...." An 18-wheeler had kindly moved over down the hill so we could pass. We didn't want to get behind him again on the twisties to come. |
|
Alfalfa bales in the Kern River Valley...along HWY178 |
|
Leslie on her new Switchback and her son Jason on his Sportser |
|
Mike on his Road King... dedicated to The Patriot Guard... riding all over our nation to show respect |
|
Lake Isabella |
|
Kern River Canyon...west of Lake Isabella |
|
PHEW...! It's not an accident on the road... rather they're filming a movie or a commercial...! |
|
Traffic is held up for 20 minutes or so... with nothing to do but stand there...looking good...! |
|
One of the actors or it's filming...! |
|
Cameras... |
|
Lots of bikes at Ethel's Old Corral Cafe... east of Bakersfield... on the Alfred Harrell HWY |
|
Here's one way to encourage biker business on hot summer days...! |
|
I only get snippets of Deb telling how she and Josh bought some natural Scandinavian tobacco... I believe on a recent trip thru Montana and/or Wyoming... and rolled their own...as she'd done 30 years ago as a kid |
|
Jason is an experienced dirt biker. Here Mike is sharing some important advice with Leslie and him...on the art of riding Harleys |
|
Yes...FOOD...! |
|
This is more than an advisory...! |
|
Looks like a Norman Rockwell painting...! ;) |
|
This is Mike's Road King electronics with at least three levels of audio priority interrupts: GPS...two or three or more radio bands...iPhone...intercom...CB...! |
|
Darn...no video...! It's always entertaining watching Tracy put sunscreen on Debbie... some even goes where the sun don't often shine..! |
|
Leslie, Jason, Dennis and Judy and I ride to the Harley Shop (no pics)... then we split up for our rides home |
|
Judy and I stop at the "Bikersfield Bling Shop" next to Hooters...introduced to us on Schoolmarm's LOH ride |
|
Judy and I bought slip-on goggles that Paul in Lancaster recommended...at the Renegade Outlet Store...a few blocks north of the Rosedale HWY on Buck Owens Blvd... just north of the BMW, Yamaha, etal. bike shop. |
|
And lastly...a must stop at Dewar's on California and Eye Street. A trip to Bakersfield isn't complete without a stop at Dewar's... established in 1909...! (Go...) |
|
Oh...one more thingy...! Remember the alfalfa bales we saw on the trip over to Ethel's Old Corral Cafe...? |
|
Judy notices on the way home...that all the bales are picked up... |
|
...and neatly stacked...! |
