Hwy 88, Memorial Day Weekend
Just thought we would post some pictures from this weekend even though we are still traveling.
We left Thursday morning Hwy 80 to Hwy 12, Hwy 12 to Hwy 88 and Hwy 88 over the Sierras to Sorensens in Hope Valley. The weather was great, the Sierras were just spectactular with the blue skys and snow. Oh, did I mention the new Motorcycle? Pictures speak for themselves. Hwy 88 Sorensens Resort, Hope Valley. Just built right in the Aspens, what a great place to stay, the cabins are just perfect, the people are very nice and biker friendly if you behave. Friday - Virginia City And I was able to get Trudy put behind bars, you know she is just a trouble making biker....  We are leaving Reno Monday morning, Hwy 431 to Tahoe, around N Shore, Hwy 50 to Placerville HD, always have to make the token HD Dealer stop. The Hwy 49 to Hwy 88 and home. We will add a few more Pic's after the ride home.

Re: Hwy 88, Memorial Day Weekend
Sportster is gonna get ridden every day. I did 2 days last week on the new bike getting some miles on it before we left but I much prefer the Sporty for commuting. it will gather no dust!

Re: Hwy 88, Memorial Day Weekend
Nice looking Screaming Eagle Ultra...
I would imagine the wife will enjoy long rides better on the Dresser. Good idea not to sell the Sporty, they are fun. I had to get rid of mine to get an Ultra but I was able to keep my Low Rider. Just remember as I have said in the past, your favorite MC is the one you just sold. |

Re: Hwy 88, Memorial Day Weekend
Was up in the same area two weeks ago, got a little rain, but riding in the Sierra's is close to a religious experience.. New bike looks nice.
