After a little issue with the first shipper, stidelivers.com did an outstanding job and delivered the bike directly to my hotel in San Diego. I hit the road on Friday and here are the summaries of the first two days.
Day one 7/7 left SD at 10, lunch with friends at 2 in Santa Monica. stopped by Venice Beach for a few pictures and to dip my toes on the water. Headed north on the PCH through Malibu, absolutely stunning views all along the road.Stopped for Coffee in Santa Barbara, which is a bit
Ike an arty Newbury Street. Ten miles up I settled in Goleta and have a few IPAs at the Mercury Lounge a 5 minute walk from the Super 8
Day two, 7/8 on the road at 8:22 and headed to SF and perhaps north. stopped for a couple of pictures, cloudy and cold, but still awesome mountain and farmaland views. Stopped for coffee and a bagel in Morro Bay. Continued up the coast, through Big Sur with spectacular roads and views, through Monterey and stopping is Los Gatos to find an end point for the day. I wanted to get through SF and found a Days Inn just North, in Novato. Drove though San Francisco, which looks like a nice place to visit and drove over the Golden Gate Bridge, which was a real thrill.
