Yosemite Road Run 2015 - Part 1 -Getting there...

Frisco Baby! Arrived in San Francisco Saturday September 19th. Ricky picked me up at the airport and we headed back to his place...got a chance to get acquainted with my ride for the week...Thanks Ricky!

Ken Nagahara just got done popping the Pan motor in his chassis and rode over from Oakland

It got a "once over"...

Look's Great...

Time to break out  the wrenches and do some tweaking...

Probably needs a few adjustments...

A little tighten here...a little tighten there...

OK it took a bit more than a little tweaking...

But in the end it was ready to go!

Sunday morning September 20th...a spare...just in case

Some of the boys gearing up to head out to Yosemite

I opted to ride in the van with Ricky for a while to catch up and BS for part of the way from Frisco to Yosemite...Ricky had "Chase Truck" duty this year...

Brian's Pan...

The handmade trophies for the event...

Had to make a stop in Oakland...


...to collect Ken...


A better look at the Trophys


Ken decided to hang in the van with us for a while too...

Ricky getting some early "chase truck" practice...
Rear brake locked up on Tony's bike

Who needs brakes anyway...freed it up and on our way

Just in case we needed assistance...

Quick stop...and met up with a couple more of Ricky's bikes

Couldn't take riding in the van anymore...Ken and I dumped out the bikes and rode the rest of the way


Made it to the Iron Door Saloon in Groveland Ca...our base camp, Yosemite Pines, was only a mile or so away...Perfect!

Eventually after some much needed celebration, we got to Yosemite Pines and I found this waiting for me!!! Sweet Home! Thanks to Dr. Sprocket and the Jersey Boys for arranging my medication delivery...a great surprise!

Ken never did figure out that sofa bed

Things got weird...

...and weirder...
