The love of a long lonely road...
I always find peace in the solitude of riding a long lonely road...

Reflection...
Within the solitude, I felt so much more alive while immersing in the environment. The wind, the heat, the bugs, the smell of the desert plants and the noise created the excitement of traveling by motorcycle that few people experienced.

From the cockpit...
With a full tank of gasoline, a camelbak full of iced water, I pointed my motorcycle in the general direction of Mammoth Lakes and I enjoyed the ride since the wheels started rolling...
My Honda CBR-1100XX Blackbird has a top speed of 180 mph (288 km/h) so cruising at 70 mph (112 km/h) was only using about 38% of its full capability. It didn't even have to work hard...

1956 Porsche Spyder
In the Motel 6 parking, I saw this cool 1956 Porsche Spyder and met the owner. He is also a motorcycle guy who rides a BMW 1150GS but decided to take his Porsche this time out. A convertible is the next best thing to a motorcycle.
