It was just too nice not to ride a couple of days ago and I put together a few minutes of video..If you don't like Bluegrass , the volume control is your friend ;)

Red Bluff California up to Lassen National Park about 1500 ft elevation to about 6500..

Thanks Grn..Can't believe how little traffic there was.. Been a while since I rode that particular area. Of course the road was closed 1/2 mile inside the park because of snow so that might have something to do with it :)

There is one section in the park with about 1/8 mile of Aspens. I hit it one time when the color was so outstanding that I stopped the bike in hte middle of the road and just looked...

Sitting here in the middle of Ontario, looking out my window at probably 6"-9" of snow covering everything. Been snowing for 30+ hours straight now.
Not complaining but your video reminds me how grateful I am to own one of these fantastic bikes. With any luck if mother nature is kind we'll be on the road in another 4 weeks or so.

Thanks for the inspiration !

Ultimately all music is good.
We all just have our different preferences.
Me? 80's and 90's rock thanks.
And no one tops Pink Floyd!

Thanks ex.. I enjoy trying to put something watchable together but just not real smart on the techniques. I think I enjoy it cause it is a positive reason to ride ;)
