Baxley Wheel Chocks Save some pennies boys and girls, break open that piggy bank! If you don't own a wheel chock for your bike, once you have it, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. They just make life easy. And we love easy! Wheel chocks are handy items to have. Just wheel the bike onto the chock, it stands upright and saves a ton of room in the garage, plus makes it easy to work on the motorcycle for routine repairs and upgrades! |

From the Saddle It was a 1000 mile ride shot largely from the saddle. A recording of our twists and turns that made up this Guided Tour of great roads, good food, and just good people- Pashnit Riders. As always it was an adventure in the NorCal Springtime of clear skies, snowy mountain tops and... legendary motorcycle roads like NorCal's Highway 36. |

During 2007, I was able to spend two different photo sessions along Mattole Rd, aka The Lost Coast and captured some fantastic still images of the motorcyclists perspective. Little bit of everything on this ride... mountains, rolling hills and river valleys, giant redwood groves and of course the shot at left- that rather famous unencumbered ride along the Pacific Ocean away from people, towns, well, just about everything.

The Grand Tour - A Noble Pursuit It was on Day 2 that I had that thought. This was The Greatest Day! It really was, a meeting of Pashnit Riders coupled with twisty mountain backroads. Elevations ranging from sea level to 7300 feet in a matter of hours. Taking in Giant Sequoias after riding the spine of a mountain ridgeline, could it get much better? It was four days of riding Central Cal's ocean, mountains, foothills and then to top it all off... a visit to three National Parks! It was truly a Grand Tour of California! |

Released: March 2007 Lost. And not the TV show. Just plain lost. But the road was paved ahead. The scenery was amazing, and I had a full tank of gas. No other concern in the world. Just wandering around the Southern Sierra Nevada Mountains.

 |
Released: February 2007 I saw it on the map and thought, I have to go ride that road. I could feel it. Try out this meandering farm trail of a road, paved and deserted past fields of crops, vegatables, orchards and acres of vineyards that stretch up and over the hillsides. Located only miles from the Pacific Ocean, this is by far a leisure ride for the relaxed-no-hurry motorcyclist.

Released: February 2007 With all new photography, and revamped text, the pashnit webpage for Empire Mine SHP gets an upgrade! This hard rock mine in the heart of Grass Valley, CA sunk shafts 11,000 feet below the surface and pulled enough gold from the earth to create a solid block 7 feet square... of pure gold. Learn the history and highlights of this historic mine! Not a member? Click to Preview Page... |

Released: February 2007 The sign reads, 'Not a Through Road'. I like it already. Not reccomended for most, this one is a short out-of-the-way-no-reason-to-ride-this-road located near Rescue, CA. One lane and buried within the rolling foothills of the Eastern Sierra Nevada, Jurgens Rd also has a stream crossing across Weber Creek that you may want to think twice about. Or maybe not.

My constant need to get as far away from civilization in general is quickly satisfied on this ride located in the Coastal Mountains in Central California. In the middle of nowhere does it up nicely. A fun combination of goaty road twists, a low pass- discover this hearty alternative to reaching the Pacific Ocean from the Central Valley.
