On the road again. Now to Stokton and Lake Tahoe

We departed Friday, around 9:00AM.

 

The weather was not that hot. We got 94F. today on I-5 and US-99 most of the ride, but the SixSixOne we were comfortable.

We also stop at the Modesto BMW Dealer Cycle Specialsties to buy some things. Very nice people there.

Who is Elton

I was born in Brazil and my wife and I moved to USA, California in 1996, for a change in our lives. Took us some time to learn the language and get into this country, but I think we are doing very well expect the learning a new language after 35 is not easy. We became citizens in 2007.
 My wife and I we love to travel and by the time I was writing this page, we have logged more them 100.000 miles on few motorcycles we had and now we are riding this BMW K1200LT 2002, many more miles on our car and much more on the airplane.
Winter we do Snowmobile, Summer we go to the lakes for water sports (PWC) and we motorcycle year around (one of the goods of living in sunny California).
