San Francisco to LA in a Day
So here's a few shots I took while in SF (I've finally got a good enough internet connection so I can get these up here).
Also - a little bit of a post on my ride from SF to LA. The coast was foggy yesterday, but still dramatic. I've finally gotten the hang of those corkscrew turns (man it wasn't easy cornering that bike with all my gear, but I think I've figured out the outside/inside/outside maneuver of cornering).
One small incident, while parking in Big Sir for lunch, I dumped the bike over. Not good, but not really all that bad either. I have a slight bruise on my leg and the bike got fairly dinged up. Nothing that can't be fixed, but I'm not happy about how the bike is faring overall on this trip. I made it down to LA and am taking her in to a shop here to have her looked over and make sure she's OK before pushing on.
But right now I'm warm and happy in the LeShay house (great good friends here in LA), and not thinking much about the last leg of the trip back to NYC.
And here are those San Francisco pictures:

Nice photos DJ.
Glad you're okay. Get a Harley - DB
Catching up on a day off...
Hey man, I know you have some stuff published, but I didn't know you wrote a whole BOOK!
Isn't it terrible that the best travel stories tend to be about disasters?
My little Honda only "let me down" once on my cross country trip. Going uphill in the Rockies at like 170,000 feet I swung out to pass, only to find that the throttle was already against the stop. Oops, sorry, I'll just meekly get into the slow lane now.
I want to be Clement Salvadori - the guy who rides around and writes about it for Rider magazine.
Ride safe.
