Good eye Peter. That is one of his pieces, in the middle of the Chihuly museum garden in Seattle. I visited it last year on my ADV1 shakedown trip.

Saw a gent this weekend with similar molle plates all over his panniers and topbox. They were some kind of plastic, he said the mounting bolts weighed more but they seemed beefy.

Home. Good rally met a bunch of good folk, including Mike & Rod Clark. I lost my camp chair somehow (I swear I was almost sober too). Had some good rides, worked on the dirt skillset, got some odd looks dragging the trailer up some nasty rutted roads, but it was fun and my patented...

You're missed Paul. Peter, not so much <ROTFLMAO>

Made it.

I hear ya @Paul, I'm soaking up 75 degree days coming up, know it'll be mid 90s on the way home, and this is just a week :/ Day 3: Lazy. Kept Mt. Washington, Mt. Bachelor, The Sisters & Mt. Jefferson on my left as I headed north. High plains desert on my right, the backside of the Cascades...

The snow easily surpasses those poles, every year.

tru Day 2 (if the bike doesn't move, it's not a vacation day) Late start so 444 easy miles, Reno to Lassen to Shasta along the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway which continues into Oregon. Saw hundreds of miles of wildfire damage from years past, and one fresh coil of smoke off I5. Last time I was...

@Jim R This is a small opinion, as I ha soft bags on cruisers a decade ago, GL bags on the ADV1 for a short 6k miles, now Moskos for a couple thousand. GL bags are great, were waterproof thru some nastiness, felt cavernous. I like the Moskos better. The Molle connections front, back and under...

You missed truly stunning opportunity @PBKrarup I hike at elevation, so I know how quickly things can change. Saturday was something else altogether. Approaching 70 degrees at 2 PM on the beach, wind kicks up, northern clouds obscuring the horizon so we left the sand. An hour later temps...

Day One: nap on the shores of Tahoe Not MC related content, but a quiet start to a week of less quiet.

That's West <BG> Virginia, thankyouverymich. Great pics Rod, see on the other end of the country soon!

Agreed on all points. Running the electric preload up or down on my Tenere can make a big difference when parking, to get he lean right. I have a bit of a Shining thing going on with sag, I think I have it right then <grrr> But when I stop overthinking it and just ride, even if the sag aint...

Goodonya. And I keep coming back to those pictures. Great bikes, great pix, great places, great people, how lucky are we to live here, and now?

@Paul I live just outside San Francisco. I have not ridden in ID in 5 years but I have very fond memories. I mean 3 stops and 2 tickets, 1 warning inside of 36 hours? What a state! :P Snark aside, 1 of those 2 tickets was earned and ID is on my "damn-I-gotta-get-back-there" list. Thanks for...
