Welcome to Vegas Krid & Lone
- Thread starter VEGASRIDER
- Start date
0900 ready to roll out of John's Driveway. Four 2006 FZ6's and we all have four different type of exhaust!
Lone's bike. His license plate tells it all. Actually, he's our support team. Tire, fuel, you name it he has it just in case one of us breaks down:thumbup:
Did I say 0900? More like 1100, thanks to Santa Barbara Powersports for squeezing Lone in for a tire swap.
Gosh, it's lunch time already and we really haven't even gone 35 miles
1st stop was a touristy town called Solvang, it was a Bavarian/Dutch type town.
Rolling towards San Luis Obispo
Fueling up in San Luis Obispo

So Vegas when do you expect to be up here? I doesn't sound like you'll make it up here tomorrow. Which is good, I have to drive a fair shuttle from 4pm till 1140pmish, when ever the last person is ready to leave the fair.
Hearst Castle Visitor Center. Just a stop, no tour Picture of Dirk.
You can see the castle in the very upper right hand corner of this picture. Well maybe.
Next stop to see the Elephant Seals. We always make sure we get pole position when we park.
Wondering what Elephant Seals are? Here are some pics. They look pretty damn lazy to me.
After 5 minutes of viewing the seals, we come back and see more FZ6 wannabees. Actually these bikes belong to four women from Pennsyvania making my road trip look like a trip around the block! The bikes: One V-Star, two Harley's and a Goldwing. Why can't I meet these kind of women.
Did I mention it was freaking Cold! Here's John bundling up. I am soooo glad that I brought my heated vest.
Finally, we were able to put some serious assault on the upcoming road. About 75 miles of just sick twisty roads with breath taking views. This is the beginning. Hey cager, get out of our way!

Now I have to apologize on some of the upcoming pictures. I am trying to keep up by riding with one hand using the throttle and trail braking when necessary and holding up the camera with my left hand the entire time. Lone setting the pace, and I'm following John, I had a tough time keeping up. Almost lost it a couple of times LOL...now.
I'm falling farther behind LOL...not easy with one hand.
Like I said, I was getting farther behind, so I thought I should take a picture of something. How's the view?
Thank God for a cager! I caught up!
Oh, can't forget about Dirk!
Time to take a rest and take in the view.
To be continued...........

Awesome pics Kenny! Thank You!
Here are more pictures. Here come Dirk again, designated sweeper.
Everyone here had evil thoughts, I guess the less riders, we could make better time?
Yup, I was right. Here's a picture of Lone trying to push me off the Cliff:spank:
Friends again:thumbup:
We spent the extra time at this location to take in the sunset, which meant the rest of our ride would be in the dark.
Here's me.
Here's John.
So we finally rolled into Monterey about 2130. The three of them originally were going to camp, but since everyone was frozen, well maybe except for Lone, they all just followed me back to my hotel.
So the plan for Friday:
Lefty is currently on his way down from the Bay area to met the four of us for breakfast. Then Lone & Jtarkany will head back down to Santa Barbara while the three of us will head north towards San Fran. From there we will have lunch and maybe head to the Golden Gate Bridge. I think this is where Dirk will begin his journey back east while I solo it up the coast up into Oregon. I should be in Portland in a couple of days, probably Sunday, where I will get some service done on my bike. I will try to hook up with some Portland/Vancouver riders then. I'll catch up with Lone sometime early next week.

Awesome pics. If Lone and John take the 101/5 down, tell them to look for a large lifted purple Jeep on its way north. That'll be me. I'll keep my eyes peeled to see if I spot them on the super slab (if they can resist taking PCH down again

Looks like an awesome ride with a bunch of "top blokes".
Will have to do a "tour" myself one day, what could be better than riding around all day with a heap of mates without a care in the world.

You could always come to Tassie Dave :thumbup:
I just got back a little while ago from my ride with the hooligans.
Nice bunch of guys. Weather was kind of sucky most of the day but it was perfect when we went to Laguna Seca! Vegasrider took a ton of pics which he'll probably post tonight.
Oh Wolfman, no worries about Lone, he's just a Big teddy bear...
