This coming Saturday morning 3 other guys and myself will be riding up the 5 to the 99 with stops at the H-D dealers in Bakersfield, Visalia, the 2 dealers in Fresno then Yosemite H-D in Merced.
We'll cut across the 140 to Santa Nella for the night then head over to the H-D dealer in Los Banos Sunday morning.
Then it's on the boring but most direct 5 back down to the L.A. area.
Anybody ride that stretch of 140 lately? Any concerns with conditions at night? Wildlife or any other road hazards?
It will be a fast paced day with only 30 minutes allowed per stop in order to make all of Day 1's stops before the Merced doors close. If it gets to hectic we'll just skip Merced and leave it for next time.
Don't have much of a "bucket list" of things to do before I die but visiting every H-D dealer in Calif is on the very short list.
I've visited every dealer from this side of the Mexican border to Santa Cruz on the coast. Just need to get these remaining ones this weekend to complete the bottom half of the state.
I have a map of Calif on my office's wall with the freebie dealer key chains marking each visit I have already made.
38 dealers visited so far. Just a bit over half down with 30+ more to go.
Started by buying t-shirts but after I realized I didn't have the room to store 70+ t-shirts I switched to the ultra compact and free dealer keychains.
Should be a nice next couple of days for riding (in So Cal at least) so everyone please have a fun and safe riding weekend.
Primo
