Anyone up for a ride this weekend (Sat. 10/22, Sun. 10/23) ~ anywhere in the Bay Area~ on our lovely V7s?
I typically ride the peninsula or the East Bay (Lick/Mines Rd.), but I've been known to venture further up the coast to Marin/Sonoma if someone has another suggestion.
Post your...
Midnite and I are riding the peninsula tomorrow morning (Sat. 08.20.22).
Meet at the top of Skyline Blvd at 10:00 AM

Upper Crystal Spring Reservoir Vista Point
Skaggs Spring Rd 👍😍🥰
Same for Dry Creek and Westside Rds.
... but Skaggs Spring ❤️
The rest of the trip was awesome too
We saw temps from 62° with heavy fog on the coast gradually rising to 90° at the summit of Skaggs Spring Rd.
Just plugging the ride that Midnite and I are planning for Sunday (Sun., 31 July, 2022)

I mostly ride the Peninsula, down to SC or over to Lick and down Mines, etc.
New V7 ride — Saturday July 17, 2021
We'll be doing Angeles Crest Hwy with a climb up to the top of Mt Wilson, then on to Newcomb's before heading back down: taking in Upper Big Tujunga, Angeles Forest and then lower ACH until we're back at the base of the mountain.
Slow to moderate pace ~...
TL : DR — I sequentially had the clutch and then the input bearing go out on me on my '13 V7R 820-QV. This was preceded by an intermittent and intractable "whirring" noise for a couple thousand miles. When finally tracked down and the clutch was swapped out, it was seen that the actual clutch...
