Title: Another SSA Sighting!
Post by: Mel on December 17, 2014, 10:10:01 AM
Headed over early this morning to Carson City for a coffee and donut breakfast at the new Dunkin Donuts that just opened yesterday. My wife and I got our donuts and coffee and sat down when this tall, lanky, retired guy came over to say hi...it was Jimbo 8)! We chatted for a bit and when we were leaving I told him that I would be looking for his post for a ride he might put up for this weekend and he said "I may be tough, but not that tough" :)! Good to see you Jimbo!!

mmmm Got Dunkin'

Did you guys ride your bikes there, like 'true grit' riders?

A dozen donuts should fit nicely in a tank bag...

The last bunch of times I went from Reno to CC, I went via VC and the truck route or 6 Mile Canyon.   I cannot stand the boring straight shot freeway through Washoe Valley.  My tires need to maintain their shape. ;)!

I'm all too glad that the freeways are used by sissies in cars.

Which begs the question: which way did you go to CC; the smooth twisties, like 6 Mile Canyon and VC truck route or the straight and boring freeway?   :-*

GM, actually had the wife and two pups with me, so we were in the van but took the scenic route on Old 395 through the ranches along the mountains ;)!

All ribbing aside, I would have given ol' Jimbo his own ribbing for not being a little more active on the forum, post riding season.  Everyone adds their own dynamic to the collectiveness of wisdom and fun.

Yeah, I kidded Jimbo about not being on the forums lately and he said he needed to check in as it had been awhile ;)!
