Groovlum,
congrads, your post put a big ole grin on my face. I am STILL feeling the same way after a month of owning my Foxfire. didnt have as long a drive, but did get to drive thru miami of ohio campus on the way home, and enjoyed all the looks, the rest of the trip was winding country back roads.
Glad you had a safe trip and welcome to the family
good to see your aunt has good taste too.

I had a similar trip-redeye to Austin Texas and then a drive back to San Diego-staright thru. 20 odd hours of driving definitely gives you a feel for the VX.

The funniest part was the fuel light due to the gas cap. I did EXACTLY the same thing. I spent several hours STRESSED OUT because the used vehicle I just bought already had a problem, or so I thought.

I could just hear my wife busting my balls. She didn't understand why or how I could spend weeks online and on the phone for a vehicle, and then be willing to fly across the country for it.

Hey Groovium! Glad to see you got home ok, and that you are so thoroughly enjoying your new ride. I totally share your enthusiasm for the VX.

Sorry I missed your pass thru, as I was in Moab, then had to head down to San Diego for family reasons and have been without much online time up until now. Too bad you didn't contact my hunny, aka Commando, as 101 passes right by the hunny's place of employment. If you were at the river, you were within a stone's throw of the parking lot where hunny's Proton is usually parked.

Next week, however, Commando is taking the Norton Commando up your way, so maybe you two can hook up then. I, unfortunately, have to head down south again with my trusty VX so I'll miss that particular journey. But there's always the Classic Car Races in Monterey later this year!

Hey, Groove! I just motorcycled down the coast from Carmel Saturday and and as I sailed across Bixby Bridge (or the Bronson Bridge for any of you old enough to recollect the Then Came Bronson TV show) and I was reminded of your post about heading into the Big Sur backwoods. I have figured that I might try this trail on a dual sport bike, but that was in my pre-Proton era. This road is listed in a book of suggested 4WD trips I found at work. What a neat new perspective on the beatiful Big Sur coastline. The book also shows that you can crawl to the top of Nacimiento-Furgesson Road and cruise the costal range south, almost to Gorda. Sounds like VX heaven and a possible weekend mini-meet, easily accessible for 'zu-freaks from San Fransisco to LA.
Any interest?
