Another day in Paradise…

Steve, Duane, and yours truly got out on our RX3s today for a ride up in the San Gabriels, and as you might imagine, it was 50 miles of pure Heaven.   The sun was out but it wasn’t too hot, the traffic wasn’t too bad, and all was well with the world.   After a great breakfast at Flappy Jack’s in Glendora (thanks, Steve!), it was lots of miles of San Gabriel twisties, flowers in full bloom, and great riding.   We stopped for lunch at the Mt. Baldy Lodge (thanks, Duane!), and I got out of there before it was my turn to pay for a meal!

Here a few photos and a quick video I pieced together…my personal RX3 was kind of hogging the 11-16 Tokina lens I used today, but hey, she’s been around the block a few times and she needed some attention!

Yeah, I know….enough of the Baja Blaster!

Here’s a shot of Steve and Duane and their silver and blue RX3s (reportedly, these colors are nearly as fast as the orange)…

That video I promised?  It follows below.   When we made the turn onto Glendora Mountain Road (from the East Fork Road), we spotted another RX3.    You’ll see the bike in the video.  I got out in front of Steve and Duane after that.  The yellow wildflowers up in the mountains were in full bloom, and you’ll see a lot of those in the video, too.  It was a grand day!

I’m headed out to Manzanar tomorrow for a piece I’m doing for one of the motorcycle magazines.  It’s going to be fun.

Later, my friends.
