Another weekend of great riding.
I visited the town of Quincy up in the Sierra's via Hwy 70 and back
down to Oroville on the Oroville Quincy Hwy to complete the loop. The
weather was great and the roads were in excellent condition and hardly
anyone to share it with. I logged in 397 total miles and 9 hrs of
riding.

Wow what a great road. The bridges were so interesting and the tunnels looked like fun. The water is so peaceful. You had some great shots and video on youtube. That looked like a great day's ride. Thanks for sharing that.

James,

Nice video and looks like you had a great time. I have had the pleasure of riding with James a few times, since we are in the same riding group, and he seems to know how to get everywhere in the bay area. We are in the Bay Area Maxi Riders (BAMR) group. How many miles do you have on your Majesty now? And what was the problem you were having a couple of months ago.

Great video.

Hi Jeff
Yeah, I miss riding w/the BAMR group and just hanging out w/fellow scooterists.
I have 35,753 miles on the Majesty right now and counting. I didn't quite get a straight answer from the dealer regarding my trouble w/the scooter and they didn't know either at the time. I think it was something w/the drive and clutch or something? I'm just glad its fixed.
Hope to ride w/the group again soon b4 the rainy season kicks in.
ride safe everyone.
