Greetings from the San Andreas Fault!

#1

Post by x01660 »

I've been stealth browsing a bunch of Goldwing sites for a while.... I like the conversation and threads here, so here I am. Nothin' special. I do my own maintenence (with the help of a good friend... and mechanic... :8) ), I wanna mod my bike. I live to ride. No car, just Athena. Yes, I named her. In any case, its mainly an outlet to post pics... I'll stop rambling. PICS!!

Welcome from the other side of the desert. Boy, do I remember Hwy 58. Your shot brought back some memories of that long, lonely highway last Summer. Interesting life those roughnecks live...
