10,000 miles and lots of smiles!

Steve, Ian, and the boys are out riding today, and I stayed home.  I probably should have gone with them, but I had too many things going on here at the house, not the least of which was getting ready for the next secret mission.  Ian is our CSC distributor in Australia (he owns Magnum Performance), and it would have been a fun ride.  I asked Steve to grab a few photos, and I’ll post them here on the blog for you in the next day or so.

Speaking of photos, I received a nice email from Arlene Battishill over at Go Go Gear.  Arlene just turned 10,000 miles on her California Scooter, and she sent an odo-photo to me showing that super-cool accomplishment.  I believe Arlene is our highest mileage rider (if I’m wrong and any of our readers have racked up more than 10,000 miles, please let me know).

Arlene on the Baja ride...in a restaurant in Todos Santos at the southern tip of the peninsula, on the road just south of Tijuana, and in front of the best loncheria in Nueva Chapala!

We first met Arlene at one of the International Motorcycle Shows, and my boss asked me to invite her to visit (we’re both in So Cal). We did, she did, one thing led to another, and Arlene quickly signed onto the California Scooter lifestyle. I got to know Arlene a bit better on our Baja trip. She’s a hoot!

Arlene racked up 2,300 of her 10,000 CSC miles on our September 2010 Baja trip...I grabbed this shot of Arlene on her California Scooter just south of La Paz...we were on our way to Cabo San Lucas!

Arlene is out there living large.   She’s an entrepeneur creating jobs, her company makes things that protect folks who ride, and she’s a real rider!

PS:  Wow, a small world indeed!

Just after I posted this blog, my good buddy Brad posted this photo on his Facebook page…it’s none other than our very own Steve up on Glendora Ridge Road on his personal ride, the “Sarge…”
