Default Geez.....I love my Harley :)

Went on a great afternoon ride from Marina Del Rey to Malibu, CA today. What a nice ride-into-the-sunset cruise on Pacific Coast Highway It was a bit of riding with the sun in your eyes, then it set behind the hills. Visor still down, all vents open (yes I have a full face helmet) and just a temperate 68 degrees with the ocean breeze. Rode down to Malibu Country mart, located next to Pepperdine University. Had a quick Coffee and rode back. Tailwind and a perfect 55mph cruise with no traffic all the way back to Santa Monica, CA. At each stop - got tons of compliments on the Harley. 2 other riders on streetbikes, two gorgeous 24 somethings, a group of Persian locals and even a family with children who just ogled at my ride I was a proud papa!

That's all folks. Just thought I'd share

Hope you all had a great ride today my forum mates! Here's a great pic I took of PCH, near the Pacific Palisades

I've enjoyed all of my Harleys.
If all goes as planned me and a friend will be taking off on Monday for a 5 day cruise (first real road trip on my new bike) around Lake Superior.

Expecting rain but around here you have to ride in some rain or not ride at all. It just makes a mess on the bikes.

I love rides like that where everything just falls nicely into place. Regardless of distance or destination.
