@ClassicTreeFiddy :

Nice pics, and it looks as if you had a good time.

I particularly liked this one -- nice rule-of-thirds composition, etc. -- so I ran it through some HDR- (high dynamic range) enhancing software:

Looks much better! I'm usually in such a rush to get back to riding that I take quick and dirty shots. Thanks for that version. Gonna be my desktop at work.

Next time you roll through Volcano, give me a shout. I'll buy you lunch at the store.

Looks like a fun ride! I haven't been that far on I-80 yet, farthest I've been is Iowa Hill east of Colfax.

If you're going to take that ride again and need a fellow slow rider, shoot me a message!

How did the 350 do on HWY 88? If Mrs. 2LZ decides to start riding again, the Classic may be the choice. Obviously, you know our back roads (Ram's Horn, for instance) but I'm more concerned about the open highway like 88. People get MOVING on that road, especially skiers.

88 is about the fastest Hwy I'd take the 350 on. I cruised at 60 for the most part and some hills I struggled on, but it was easy enough. I passed a couple cars but mostly just did my own thing. People do drive fast though. I went down 50 from Tahoe and its fine until you hit Pollock Pines but then I jumped off and went back roads which is infinitely more fun. 55 posted speed roads are perfect for the classic.
