Looks like he high sided whilst deploying the kickstand... at least we now have the definitive answer to the question: how many people does it take to look like they're picking up a Harley?

That has got to be one of the joys of an R80, she falls over (which unfortunately has happened when I put my foot down into a grass filled hole) but standing her up again is simple ,quick and easy . ;)

That's my girl .

Is that Skyline on the ridge above Half Moon Bay and down to La Honda? It's a wonderful road and I used to cycle it when I lived in Belmont. Last time I was there about four years ago, we were putting our bikes back on the car after riding Skagg's Point area and I witnessed a Ford Explorer hauling ass and using the blind, blind, blind part of the road to pass someone. It made me think how lucky it was that a motorcyclist or small car wasn't coming the other way. After that, I'd be more likely to stay away, on weekends,, from that now popular road on my motorcycle.

In this case, it is the ridge-top road near Ken's, on the Arkansas side of the boarder.
