Red lights can be awkward, but usually folks are friendly. No brand or style can determine a person's attitude toward others. Off the bike, I'll bet the non waving snobs are just as disinterested in showing a little love to others. Jus sayin.

... so after going north on the 5 and then comming back south,
Went on back into Oceanside to cruise by the beach there.
Was a crowded mess down there.
but found this little dead end street.
then I tried going across town without gps, and got lost...
found my way and got back to right side of town...
then saw daughter (and wife and baby) in traffic.
Managed to catch up to them, and wave to baby in back seat.
Wife annoyed that I was splitting traffic lanes.
Baby was surprized, startled actually.
daughter took this picture from driver seats (traffic lights around here are about 3 minutes).
now back to helping with prepacking and baby sitting.
me, daughter and baby.
a couple days now before start of big adventure.Last edited by Redman; 05-29-2019, 01:41 PM.

Rode my new (to me-2016 model) Sportster out to Florence and back last night, then took the scenic route home from her place this morning. I really like this bike.20190530_090015_Film2.jpg"Thought he, it is a wicked world in all meridians; I'll die a pagan."

Solo mission indeed for that one, everyone else was still at work...
The 450 will still be doing the commute duties to work and back every day, I don't want to do that on the Kat although I'll likely ride it in every now and then. Some of the guys at work will be keen for a look see too.1982 GS450E - The Wee Beastie

Perfect start to winter yesterday! Nice sunny weather not too cold, and 8 Kats (plus some others) showing up for the regular Saturday morning ride, and my first time joining them on my very own Kat

The G is cool indeed, and you can't see in that shot but it has a chair attached, and he can ride it well too! Very entertaining to follow in the twisties
The pipe is from a local mob here called Tranzac, sounds great, same mob who did the custom pipe on my 450.
The owner has a Kat also, not quite ready for that ride though but soon...1982 GS450E - The Wee Beastie
