(Steve Smead)

We were participating in the annual DDMR usually hosted by our genial host in Lincoln, Steve Smead, who is seen here on his Trident 900 at Mike Plant's former digs in Redding. Sad to say, he ruined the outsides of his shoes after 300 miles of peg-scratching that day and then his mirror fell off.

(Markleeville)

Lined out in front of Mike Plant's erstwhile Redding home one can see Stupor's sled, Hesh, George, Grumbler, Dr. Steve & MikeO with the eye-poking apehangers. Rest of herd was on other side. We hit the road and had breakfast in Hayfork out on Hwy 3. Returned to Lincoln via Red Bluff. Here's some e-mail comments of that ride.

Three months later, in September of 1997, a bunch of us rode on this mountain loop from San Jose to Markleeville via Ebbetts Pass. Out front we have JW, Grumbler, BC, Stupor's SO, Stupor & Randy Bert. Not seen are Road Rage Bob, Steve and Hesh who're inside eyeballing all the bras hanging on the ceiling inside the Cutthroat Saloon. We then rode to Lincoln via Mormon Emigrant Trail for the Beer BBQ.
