Title: $4.60/gallon premium - worth every penny
Post by: frankenduck on February 26, 2012, 09:43:30 PM
I met up with Turkus and Johnny today for 350+ miles of 2 laned twisty SoCal motoheaven under a cloudless sunny sky. 

I'm SO glad that I have a bike down here. Yeehaaw....

(I'll add some pics and move this to The Slide Show later this week.)
