    Hi ian408,
    We met Kari, on the white late-model Tiger 800 and her friend, John (?), on the '08 KTM 950 ... they were staying at the Parkfield Inn, and they passed us on the Parkfield Grade and again on Rt 25, and we chatted with them at the store in Pacines ... super nice people ... forgot to ask him if he was on ADV, but he admitted to owning a bunch of KLRs over the years, so ...

    Hey guys, thanks for posting! Great to see Paul, Bert and Zeegman, and the two-up ladies ... fun when we can run into one another on the road! :ricky

    See you around the campfire,
    -- SFMCjohn

    Thanks!

    The Parkfield Inn is a nice spot. Rooms are comfy and the food is good. Picked up LTS after his breakdown and saw the 950/Tiger sitting there. LTS was there for a while, me? Just long enough to say hello to the Varian's and then loaded up and gone. Just curios if it was anyone here.

    Looks like you had a great adventure!

    Hello Bay Area Adv Riders! I've been trolling the site for a while, but now that I've swapped the Nighthawk for an R1150GS I am ready to find all the gravel this 2-wheeled jeep can take. Here is a photo of the beast:

    Actually, here is the real real:

    I live in San Francisco, like to split lanes, drink in the hot spring, and howl at the moon. Been looking at a loop from home / big sur / south coast ridge road - camp / nacimiento / indian valley + peach tree road / mercey hot springs - camp / panoche rd to I-5 / home.

    Any ride will do, just looking for some new people to ride with shoot me a note. Would love to hit up the DV Daze or the DV n00b riders coming up in the next few months. I think one of those events is still open - anyone from around here want to split a campsite or ride down together?

    Later,
    Alan
