Dad's first ride on a 250F, traded for the 450
The '07 wild fires in San Diego County burned out tons of good roads:

Palomar Mountain is crispy
Highland Valley Road was hit hard

Old Highway 94

Apparently the ST1100 wanted some attention, as it
set it's regulator/rectifier on fire coming home from work.
So I either, A) acted like Ah-nold and lit my cigar from it as it burned to
the ground,
or B) screamed like a school girl, patted the fire out with my gloves, and
blew on it
like a Bugs Bunny cartoon...

Borrowed the DL for some fireroads, but pretty cold pretending
to be Ewan McGregor

Another pic from the local friendly Palomar Photographer
(and an example of not hanging over the double yellow on the street)

So I decided to get another Motard for the fun of it.
Does that make me re-Tarded?

And yet another GoD, another bike nudie pic...

The ST1100 is still racking up miles with no foreseeable exit strategy.

Saves front tire wear. Controlled environment, no squirrels
were harmed in the making of this picture, trained professionals,
do not attempt inside your own home, blah blah blah
