Monsoon trough appears to have headed north for the moment but the wind has picked up. Poor old beach has suffered a bit of corrosion from the recent weather.

Yesterday, Thursday took the Jota out for a spin-up and over some local mountains via Hwy 74 Palm Desert to Hemet to visit a mate. Beautiful ride of about 55 miles one way with the road summit about 5000 feet. Coming home the plan was the same route until 20 miles from home an accident on the mountain highway resulted in its closure and I was detoured 87 miles. Up into snow country 6800 feet, via Pine Cove and Idyllwild, and froze my nuts off I was not prepared for snow saving grace was the road was fantastic, and only a few patches of ice on the road late in the afternoon.

Ride?
You're a few years behind the trend.
In the mid 90s already, I organised a couple of big Laverda meetings, which saw the rebirth of the Laverda Club de France.
People would insult me on the phone when I told them "No Laverda, no come". It made for a couple of very nice meetings and a load of insults.
Times have changed. Don't organise a Laverda meeting if you want only Laverda motorcycles and if you don't provide parking space and electricity for camper vans.

If I attempted to organize a Laverda meet up, I would have to bring a mirror.

Is that dirt pic from Don Rd or the back way up? Temperate eucalypt and fern forests are my favourite landscape on the planet.
