On a ride over Monitor Pass, Nevada
This was taken several years ago when we took a ride with Slots, Wayne, Cindy and Fred through Markleville and over Monitor Pass to Topaz Lodge. One of our favorite local rides when we lived in Carson City.
Some pics from the Hells Canyon Rally 2009
This is the way to travel if you can't leave your house behind ! :-)

One super nice custom bike !
This custom show bike is so nice, I'd be afraid to ride it ! Eye candy !!
Barb and I and nephews riding back from Washington
Our nephews and their SO's, rode back part way from Washington with us. Great bunch to ride with !
Grandpa with great grandson Levi
Great grandson Levi, Amber's boy, liked sitting on his grandpa's lap, but I don't think he would have liked to go for a ride,, yet. I'm sure he will be ready in a year or two :-)
Our VROC club logo
We have belonged to the VROC club, Vulcan Riders and Owners Club, since 2001. We have been to many of the club rallies over the years, with some as far away as N. Carolina. Great bunch of brothers. My number is 7489, and now there are over 33K members world wide.
Son Wayne on dads Nomad
Wayne decided to give a big bike a try. The Nomad is a little bigger than what he is used to, but he handled it very well.
Barb and Bob at a VROC rally in Alberta, Canada
This was taken at the RITCR rally in Alberta, Canada. Rained most the time we were there, not much fun, but the ride there and back was worth it.

Our son Wayne liked to spend time running around the twisties on a California race track to get his kicks for speed !

Taken at Glacier National Park Montana
We were on our way to a bike rally in Canada, and Wayne and Cindy rode with us from Carson City, to Kalispell, MT, and we took the ride up to the summit of Glacier National Park with them. We kept riding north, and they headed back to California, but on the way they hit a deer, OUCH !
A 1999 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Nomad G/G
I bought this bike after the plastic oil gear went out. Had it repaired, rode it for a short time, then sold it. Really a pretty bike, and I made some good $$ on the deal :-)
Harley 45, like my first bike
My first bike was a WW2 Harley 45 like this one, which I bought in 1956. When I bought my '48 Indian. I sold it to a friend for $250. Probably worth $25K now, sniff
Getting ready for a ride with friends
We are at the Sunset Pub, geting ready to ride with Dave, Deb, Kurt, and Terrie. As a group, we have plans for attending the Elko Rally, and other interesting ride trips this summer. Yee Haa
Bob's 2002 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Nomad
At my age,this will most likely be my last bike. Probably the best bike I've ever owned, with FI, shaft drive, water cooled.
Bob on the road in Canada headed to bike rally
This was taken up near Alberta Canada while we were on the way to a VROC bike rally. I'm not really that fat ! It was pretty cool, so had on lots of clothes :-)
Here is dad at age 16 who started it all
This is my dad who really started the bike riding in our family. Bike riding in our family seems to be in our blood, since so many of us ride. He rode my '49 Harley one time, and had a big smile on his face :-) RIP dad
