The two volcanos are a long ways away. But the ash cloud pattern can be heading towards me. We actually still need spring rains to wash all the silt and road salt away, the roads are terrible, many more pavement breaks than usual a lot less road repair work going on.
My main bike is a 2009 Star 1300 tourer and it has less than 2000 miles on it since I bought it new, just not enough decent riding days in Alaska, grrrr.

I have a 2007 Yamaha Roadliner with 1800 miles on it. I'm never home to enjoy it. The two Harleys and Kawasaki Versys racked up over 40,000 miles on San Diego freeways since August 2009 (even with a 5 month break at home in Idaho in 2010). Most of that was commuting. Only one big trip on the Fat Bob in August 2012 when I traveled home from San Diego to Pocatello. That was a rugged introduction to long distance rides. Before that departure, my longest single day ride had been just over 100 miles. The return trip from Pocatello to San Diego included an overnight stay at Barstow, CA. That was 750 miles in one day. I wasn't physically up to another 150 miles in the darkness.
