Just checking in on you guys

Hello there in the land of fast cars! I hope you are all doing well and just wanted to drop a note here saying I'm still kicking and alive. Work-wise, been working hard and keeping my nose above the water. To play, I've been just riding locally but had a great trip with a bunch from Orange County to San Francisco, Napa Valley, Eureka, Red wood National Park, to Lake Tahoe, then to Mammoth Lakes, to Yosemite National Park, Death Valley, cross over to Santa Barbara where I turned south and the rest went to Bay Area. It was blast.
I miss my Red Hot #22 very much as well as riding with y'all.

Best wishes and Happy Holidays already to all of you.

regards,

Kouros

As much as I enjoy my Harley Davidson, nothing is better than an Airhead on the road less traveled. Thanks for posting, ride safe.

Talking Good to hear

you're still good-to-go and are enjoying some outdoor rides with some friends. Your description of your trip sounded like something I'd like to do some day . . . Whoo-Hoo!!
Sad to hear you don't have the Cobra, it was one of the finest out there . . . perfect example of what can be accomplished when you set your mind to it.

Take care Kouros, and Happy Holidays to you and your family as well.

Doc

Hey Kouros, Glad to hear from you. I found your son over on a Tacoma forum and have been chatting with him there. Hope you're having fun and keeping the rubber side down.
