FJR1300 Overload: Sonora Pass to Bishop, We Rode It Anyway

We suited up and did the 400 mile adventure to Bishop CA. It was as much as we could fit into the schedules but glad we did. Sean and I take the FJR1300s out into the Sierras up through Sonoma Pass, weather perfect. No other motos and actually few other people are seen. The mics and interphone work perfectly on this feature length TNP Adventure. We discuss the following and more: JUST DO IT, how this is a mini adventure compared to other full time riders, US vs International moto adventuring, cost of moto insurance, the dangerous Z Geners Instagram moto culture (trying to out-cool each other), lots about Chat GPT, whacking it too fast, snow year, no cruiser motos are ever seen up here, how many ADV threads ignore the bike, systems/gear guys vs bare bones approach to long trips, KLR, how some guys think it's a badge of honor to suffer on their trips, search for the truth, a gravel slip while riding, all ADV trips are work and many Z Geners don't want to do it, raising kids with adventure and work, how bigger bikes are better, gas carrying/range, FJR1300 no longer made, leave the ego at home, tickets, changing your bike's color, keeping a moto vs selling it, and a very lame Corvette C8 that putters past us, HS.
