Sweeeeeetttt!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to ride it. Now, is Bucks Lake finished? The new Cycle Gear is in the Costco shopping center in Reno. Plumb Lane and Harvard Way just off I-580 (formerly known as 395)

I haven't gone by yet. We had a family event in Tahoe on Saturday (in car - not bike :spank:) so we couldn't make it. Maybe this weekend since we won't be riding due to "atmospheric river" coming through town.

I am 5'8" tall. I can sit on it with my feet almost flat. I have a hard time pushing it backwards but mainly uphill. It is a little heavy for me, but not bad. I'm not as strong as you, I'm sure. The main difference is the Sprint has more torque. I can do slow 15 mph hairpin curves uphill...

My Sprint has close to 40K (I've put 20K on it in the last 3 years) and the only problem was a battery went out on me. Hubby took it to a shop to get the values adjusted per manufacturer maintenance schedule and they were in spec. It's ton of fun in the twisties. I can take off from a start in...

I've been riding street for 6 seasons now. I put more miles on my bike than my car each year (8-10K miles a year on average). I've never laid my bike down (yet). I keep up with the "big boys" in our riding group. Ask VegasRider, he's ridden with me. Riding isn't for everyone for sure, but I...

VegasRyder is the only other rider here from Reno. We've ridden together a couple times. It's off season now, as you know if you are from here. The S3R is in the house for the winter. My Sprint is in a garage.all tucked up in with a trickle charger and blankie. I loved my FZ6. The only...

I have two triples now. They have so much more torque. I can do 90mph on my Sprint ST 1050 in 4th gear and not even notice it. I can start out in 6th gear too (don't ask how I know that or tell my hubby lol) on my Sprint. My Street Triple R is a 675. It is so much lighter than my Sprint...

Hubby and I rode the Eastern Sierras Friday and Saturday from Reno to Mammoth Lakes. Fall colors were very nice.

Thanks for information! Ya, I'm familiar with pot growers and their tendency to not care about one else. Thanks for recommendation. I ate at Mad River Burger Bar when I did highway 36 in August. Never disappoints. The view was especially nice --- firemen kept stopping by to get a bite...

Unless your doing highway 50 between Fallon, NV and Utah border. lol It's labeled "the loneliest road in the world" Pretty flippin boring in a car. I couldn't imagine on a bike. I'd be doing top speeds for sure. I haven't done Sheep Ranch Rd. Thanks for the warning. I'll skip it.

I think I found it. Titlow Hill Rd? https://goo.gl/maps/1Br1YCGD3UP2

Where were you in Nevada? Wondering what road caused breakage to your cowling.

I'm planning a ride in a couple weeks. A couple of you mentioned a road off of Highway 36 and/or Highway 299 in Northern California and I was wondering what the name of the road was. I'm thinking of heading from Happy Camp to Willow Creek on Highway 299. I'd like to cut down to HIghway 36...

Cool! We went Thursday night and saw Night Ranger. Going Monday afternoon to see Flock of Seagulls. which garage is yours? We'll use it. Friends free, right?

Thanks. That's nice of you. We are always looking for dog sitters. It's almost as hard to find as good babysitters... Our kids usually watch the dogs, but they seem to be really busy lately. The "girls" are both princesses and we need someone to stay at the house with them. Heaven forbid...

Well, F*@k. That's how my day has been going. I'll try to fix pics tomorrow. I'm off to bed to attempt to get some sleep.....

I'll try to get some pics up. VEGASRIDER - my co-rider, Soo, did a nice write-up on SSA. First "potty" break. On highway 70 outside Portola, CA We are twins - ish. Her bike is a 2017 Street Triple RX, and I have a 2014 Street Triple R. I led the whole 750 miles - which I never do...

It's so hard to find time. Seems like everything is conspiring against me (us). I have a week long Fall break from school since we start so early (August 1 this year) and I'm working on my hubby to do a 3-4 day ride together. But it's so hard. Gotta get someone to watch the dogs. One of our...

I did it! I got away with a lady rider friend for the weekend. We left Reno early Saturday morning (7:30am) and headed North into California. We took Highway 70 to Quincy. We saw some smoke from a fire near there, but not bad. Then we took highway 89 to Lake Almanor. It had a lot of...
