Ok so the wifi at this hotel is **** so I can't upload pictures yet. My gopro took 4000 pictures today which will be converted into a time lapse video for the whole trip when I get home.
Jason spilled the beans so I might as well cook dinner. 10 minutes into the trip Brian lowsided. He overestimated his abilities after being off the bike for a year he ran out of talent mid turn. Fortunately he is ok with just a tiny bit of rash but unfortunately his left blinker is totaled. We were able to salvage It though. When we got up to mt Hamilton we were up in the clouds, not smoke clouds, real ****ing clouds, the **** that murders people with floods. The fog was thick, really thick, the pictures are sick as **** but I can't upload them yet. The fog would condensate on the trees and water would drip from the trees while the rest of the ground was dry. So the trees were raining. I took a video, it was pretty awesome, sort of like the first time a girl touches your penis. We continued on, me leaving Brian behind with my amazing motorcycling skills, I'd turn around just to make sure he hasn't fallen off any cliffs though. We ate at the junction and then continued on where I have Jason his sd card. We headed up to Sacramento and met up with Brian's friend and her mom. They accompanied us to Lake Tahoe. And omfg the road to Lake Tahoe was ****ing awesome. Even though it was wet there are trees everywhere and it's just so cool. An easy twisty road that allowed me to break 6k rpms (100mph) and have so much fun. I think that's my new favorite road. You want pics right well hold the **** up I ain't got em. We got to our hotel had some food and went to the casino. Our hotel is in California but the casino is in Nevada so we walked across state lines and got some drinks and played some stupid games. It was fun. My Gf made me a good luck keep safe charm thing that I tied to my bike, should be able to see it in the pic Jason posted. It's on my mirror. It's too bad she didn't make one for Brian. I told my Gf I'd get her a gift from every state I go to. For California I got her a pillow pet lol. She doesn't read this so I don't mind telling you guys. Well I'm off to bed. We gotta get up early tomorrow like 10am and ride

So the agenda today is to do a loop around Lake Tahoe which should be awesome. Then we are gna stop off at a little place in Carson city for some treats . After that we are heading to Reno where apparently my mom is staying on business. I had no idea she was there till she texted me last night. She's going to buy us lunch yay! Then I guess we will call Teri and see if its possible for us to meet up. It might not be though so we'll see. It'll be about 106 miles of twisties and then 160mi of shoot yourself in the face freeways.
I've perfected a riding posture for freeway riding that I call the captain Morgan. You jut your left leg out and put your left hand on it. I find it to be more comfortable for long boring stuff. Really wish this bike had cruise control

Seems like a lot happened today, lets see if I can remember everything. We did a loop around Tahoe which was ****ing amazing. Damn it's a nice view, that's gna be some prime time lapse footage. The road was littered with tourists so it wasn't that fun to ride but the view was beautiful. Leaving Tahoe was awesome it was downhill with sweeper after sweeper after sweeper. I worked on my BP for a little bit since it was so awesome. Going uphill would have been more fun but damn, loved it.
Next stop we were feeling kinda hungry so we decided we'd go eat out. They wouldn't let us take any pictures inside. They were too expensive for us anyway, even the chick with one arm. Unfortunately nothing looked appetizing so we left and went to Reno where we met up with my mom. She bought us lunch at a Chinese Japanese Thai place which was awesome. We then headed over to our final destination and planned to meet up with Teri on the way. Unfortunately Brian's bike decided to not start and we got held up. We eventually made it to the 80/95 junction and ride 100 miles to winnemuca with Teri. We all got dinner and chilled, it was fun I'm hoping we can meet some other ninjetters on the way. @choneofakind, come ride through Canada with us! Oh yeah we saw a 300 at the bunny ranch lol.

Fun day! We started off with breakfast at the best restaurant in winnemuca (which isn't saying much) griddles! Brian and I got Benedict's which were delicious then we headed out. We rode on the freeway and then stopped where Brian's bike wouldn't start, woohoo!
He got that fixed after half an hour or so and then we headed back to the freeway. Then we ride the freeway some more. Got lunch in Elko at the marchi or w/e saloon. It was pretty damn good, I got pics uploading right now. I learned something today, two things actually. Nevada is hell, where else can you be boiling in the sun AND see snow but have no access to it? That's right, Hell. And number two, after riding today in 95 degree heat for a few hours in all black leather gear I have this to say about people who say its too hot to wear gear. You are all a bunch of pansies. So then we rode on the freeway some more and then the desert bushes turned into grass and magically we were in Idaho. No helmet laws here! Dunno how people do that, bugs in your face and **** I don't get it. Oh yeah, in elko This tweaker wanted a ride on my bike. I told her I didn't want my bike to get the herps. She was like c'mon maasaaan. Uh nah For my Gf in Nevada I got her a sick monkey and in Idaho I got some fireworks cuz why the **** not!? Tomorrow I'm gna go buy a Roman candle and shoot Brian on the freeway.
