Hey Alan, welcome to the board. I'm in Elk Grove and usually only ride on Saturdays...looks like rain this coming, so...I think my e-mail is on my profile. I have a riding buddy who just bought a new Moto Guzzi LeMans, won't accelerate like the feejer, but corners fairly well. We will be going out on the "odd" Saturday, as weather permits. I usually try to get into the foothills (even Sonora for lunch) when the fog sets into the valley, just to get some sun.
