Tomorrow. Straight up 101 and over the Golden Gate Bridge. Just see how far I get. But enough desert..... time for the Ocean.

 

Are you riding up 1?

If you ever get that way again, try 166 between Santa Maria and Maricopa, I used to run that all the time when I finished loading produce in Santa Maria and headed back home.

 

Enjoying the ride report.

 

California 1 is closed..... bridges out.... Otherwise I would.

 

Heading up 101. Lots of traffic. Big Farms. For the truckers.... single Axel, single tire Wiggle Wagons. I will try to get a pict ..... here is a look at the farms....

 

Coffee & Fuel. Then in and through San Francisco....

 

Through this ....




And over that ....

 

Had lunch ..... time to find the ocean ....

 

Well, I saw it for about 5 minutes. I took 1 West out of Mill Bay, and found out after going up and down the Pass, 1was closed. So I took the loop back to Mill Bay. Interesting road .... 8% 10 mph switch backs .... and that ain't easy on the clutch even in first gear.

I got back on 101 at Mill bay after a very slow ride. That was the second one,
As I went right through San Francisco. Then on the 101 I went through 2 - 5 mph stop and go traffic jams.

Then these guys start splitting lanes on there bikes. And some where going pretty fast. I finally got frustrated enough and gave it a try. Amazingly, the cars move over if they see you. It was actually pretty easy, even for a 1,200 lb bike.

I ran out of stem in Petaluma, and tied into the most expensive Motel 6 I have been in. Oh well, Friday night in Central California.

Sorry, you got all the picts I took today already. There are a few roads from here to Highway 1 and I will take one of them tomorrow.

I promise to do better with the taking of the pictures tomorrow.

 

A lot of the pictures you have taken so far have no cars in them, are most of the roads that empty, or do you need to spend time waiting for them to clear, also when the cop is jump starting your new bike what was rolling around in your head, I hope he knows what he is doing, that"s my NEW bike and I'm a ways from home. I've heard of starting them like that but still you don't know of his ability. I would of been grateful yet nervous.
