@Jett129 no we didn’t go through Arches. The tour guides opted not to because it is mostly paved roads there and heavily visited. The focus here is avoiding the more popular spots and towards the more remote and dirt road areas, hence the type of bikes we are riding.
Those are Excellent guides you’ve got there. 
I asked around and it turns out they came from the factory like that. Not sure when they started/stopped. But here’s a photo of a ‘75

Picked up a new bottle today. Time to check it out.
Got this season’s tomatoes into the ground this morning.
8 San Marzanos for canning and
1 Big Rainbow, 1 Old German, 1 Brandywine, 1 German Johnson and 2 Sungold cherry tomatoes for eating off the vine.
Thanks!
The Bay Area really is motorcycle heaven - surrounded by some of the best roads in the world. Coastlines, rivers and mountains are what makes for great riding roads and we’re flush with all three.

Riding - wearing my 634S-Bs of course.
Took the Duc out for a putt this glorious, NorCal Friday morning.
My pleasure, Sir.
That XR in the driveway is a heavily modified, vintage, track only XR. Take a close look at the bottom case below the cylinders. It’s at least an inch taller than stock. He did the welding and grinding himself. The bike is plated for
The street too. Super cool.
Their best was their second and final album: Nazz Nazz.
Here’s my original copy - on red vinyl - that I bought new in 1969.

I met Don Clancy today. He’s repairing the seat on my Norton.
He sure has some sweet bikes in his garage:
Beautiful blooms. But brief.
My fav irises are really popping now.
Shit’s getting serious here at Rancho Morales:
Snuck in my patio door this evening. After I snapped the pick, I helped it out.
The first Rufous of the season showed up this morning. That makes three different species in the last 24 hours. (Anna’s are year round residents.)
First one of the season:
