Mother of all days

SO what did you do for mothers day? I drove 250 miles from the California central coast to the Mojave desert, Apple Valley to see dear old mom and grandma. Grandma is 95! I will be so lucky to see that! A few pics along the way so far. First stop near hwy 158 then a stop at the flower shop. More to come. Longest ride on the VFR so far.

 

Like the flower placement there SLO :wink:

 

You know, if there were places in NJ that looked like this, I might not hate this festering hell hole of a state so much.

Hey Slo,
I spent the day together and took the wife and kids out to eat and had a good time at it.
so your from apple valley ? i used to live on geogre air force base along time ago, you know where that is right, did you go back all ready ?

 

Still here till tuesday. You would not believe what George looks like now. Ill take some pics on my way out for you. Besides a logistics air base now its a ghost town and all the house have been ran sacked....its a sad site. I use to go there alot for one reason or another. I lived here from 79 -81 and then went to Montana, Oregon, Washington then back to Apple valley in 1982. I left in 1993 and moved over to the coast. Originally I grew up in Sylmar Ca.
The flowers got put into the rear bag, had to ask for 5" to be chopped off. I always stop by this same stand near Ventura to pick up some flowers for the girls. Ill make sure to post up a Joshua Tree for everyone!

 

Sounds good Reg! I just need some student loans so I dont have to work! Yep all back together except for my left poser mirror. It one of my stripped down 4 gens painted. Otherwise it rode good and I like the Givi screen! It rocks for touring! Jesus tried to run me off the road after the flower shop on a city street. I was wishing I didnt put the stock quiet pipe back on there for a second. But the I got beside him and told him to put damn the DAMN TACO and DRIVE Oh.....did you think Jesus as Christ our Lord? Sorry....

 

Former George AFB is where they filmed "The Fast & The Furious" isn't it?

I'm a little peeved. I went to the flower shop on base to have flowers sent to my mother. I called her & she never received anything. I have a credit card receipt but she didn't get them.

I didnt hear of any filming there but maybe. Sounds like it refund time for you.

 

Nice pics. I could never get enough of the CA central coast, that's where I broke in my VFR when I was living in the Bay Area.

 

Nice pics. Looks like a nice run. .........but come'on gravel roads ? Didn't you and the bike get enough gravel last time you two were together. LOL

 

I guess I misunderstood, I thought they were separated not together.

Nice pics. Hope your g-ma enjoyed riding with you. :thumb:

 

Oh yeah........... and the foot pegs look good powder coated, but whats up with the fender reflector ? Reflectors don't save lives, loud pipes do.

 

Holy shit that was you I saw yesterday!

I was like, that can't be Brian cuz the bodyparts aren't flapping and it has foot pegs!

We need to go touring up around Lake Isabella/Sierras this summer. My folks have a place out there we can base out of.

 

Did you see me? Its all better now. No Flapping. Trip to the mountains sounds good to me!

 

Yah you were headin south on the 101. I was heading up to Pismo to chill with the folks.

I saw the bike, and went pa-shaw. Figured it was being used for target practice somewhere.

It's looking snazzy btw.

 

Ok Im back and everything went smooth, I promised some Ruin pics of George Air force Base and some Joshua trees:

This is what all the houses look like now






I hit the sand again but this time stayed upright. It was had to find a decent tree close to the road. I did make a bit of a detour to get some shots. Still had some snow on the mountains and got to play dirt bike for about a mile in some road construction. What fun!
