Leaving Rural Retreat Va on Thursday to go to my daughters wedding in Cape Girardeau Mo Saturday taking 80 from near London KY to US 27 to US 68 to 80 then go up to Il 3 then on in to Cape. Been several years since I have been this route and if I remember correctly it is a fairly twisty but good road. If anyone along the route wants to meet up or even ride awhile give me a shout.

Looks like I'll be going out to San Francisco the 2nd & 3rd week of December for work. I'm thinking about renting a bike for 2 days. Where should I ride it to ? I'd like to see some rural coastline, maybe Yosemite or Sequoia ? I'd love to see some of those Giant trees they have out there, are they Redwoods or Sequoia's?

It was a very small group, me, Irene, and KDFranzen, but we met, we rode, we ate, and we had a great time. The ride was through some very scenic Kentucky and southern Indiana areas. We plan on doing this one again next year, though probably a week or two earlier. The leaves were a little past their prime this year. Photos here. Videos here. The main page, as always, is here (with corrected Wine Country videos). By the way, the first four are through the most rural area. Numbers five through seven are the Ohio River Road. The last one is in Corydon itself. If you go here you can see them in full screen mode, though the resolution isn't the best - old camera.

I have had a few inquiries on my MPG since the bikes rebuild. Rode 158.7 miles between fillups today and used 3.705 gallons. Sunoco, 93 octane gas. 42.83 MPG. 1300 cc engine, Vmax heads, FJR rear end. No v-boost. Carbs are from original 1200 engine. Carb mains re-jetted to 140. Needle jets are now set at .102", increased from setting of .072" due to nasty hesitation around 6,500 RPM's. Ride was through rural areas with very moderately hilly terrain, number of small towns. Lot of curvy roads. Very gentle ride around 55 mph for most part with very minimal hard acceleration. Riding solo. I am very happy with this. Gary
