Sorry I've been absent from my post here. After my return from France, I sprained my ankle and didnt' do much traveling. There were a few little trips, like a weekend in Laughlin, Nevada during Christmas, but for the most part, I just stayed local.

Then, just before Christmas, I got a new motorcycle, a 2005 Gold Wing. It's an awesome bike and rides great. Now I'm going all over the place. So, I guess I had better get busy and start writing again.

Last weekend, my group went up to Morro Bay. We were there Friday through Sunday and had a great time. I counted 27 motorcycles so that would translate to about 50 people. We did some great riding along the coast up past the Hurst Castle where we stopped and watched the sea lions giving birth on the beach. Very facinating. Then we went a little further, took a coffee break, and then drove down to Cambria to do some shopping and to have lunch. After that, we did more riding through some twisty back roads. The bike ran perfectly and my wife and I had a great time.

We came home on Sunday only to find that the Santa Ana winds were kicking up. We got home just in time to wash the bike and put it away before the winds really started to blow.
