California, Day 5

Wesley J — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 23:01:00 +0000

Well, last night we stayed in Van Damme State Park. You think with a name like that it’d kick some round house ass. Well, it turned out to be the poorest excuse for a shithole I’ve ever stayed at. But, because of this fact we didnt spend the night around the fire filling my belly with hangover which was a nice change.

The morning started out like most California coast mornings do, foggy and dreary. Fortunately we were riding one of the best sections of the Pacific Coast Hiway today. Shortly after getting going we managed to find a bit of sun and the road was mostly free of traffic. What little traffic there was was quickly dispatched of with 2nd gear and a bunch of right wrist. Caught up to a 1200GS with street tires along a section of road and was very impressed with how fast he was going. Held me up quite a bit but I was happy to slow down for a while.

The day was very short and we ended up in San Francisco by 11:30 at the hotel. Had a pint on the patio and generally took it easy and enjoyed life on Fisherman’s wharf. Very good Day

Here’s a boring video:

California, Day 4

Wesley J — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 04:51:16 +0000

Day 4 way undescribable. By far the best day of riding I’ve had so far. We rode from Oregon to northern ish California. We took the 101 along the coast and a detour that took us out onto the coast. The road wasnt too far from being single lane and it was rough as hell. GG seemed a bit overwhelmed initially but picked it up and rode like a champ. By far the best motorcycle road I’ve been on except for the roughness.

The temps went from the high 50’s to the mid 90’s. Wow.

I filled an entire video tape on that road. Awesome!

California, Day 3

Well, day 3 was northern Oregon to southern Oregon. It was a pretty short day (400 kms) which was really nice as we were in the campground by 3 pm. As you can see below, it was beautiful. We got set up and proceeded to drink beer and wine and then had a campfire on the beach. The road wasnt great but the company was stellar!

California, Day 2

Wesley J — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 04:07:14 +0000

Day 2 was travelling from you ‘da ho over to the Oregon coast. The weather again was perfect.

We rode was one of the most fantastic roads I’ve ever, well, rode. I plan to put a link to it but its just outside of Lewisville or Clarkston (real fucking original names guys)… Anyway, it was rediculous and there’s one photo below of a few curves.

Oh ya, GG and I got pulled over by the county mounty for speeding. Just a bit though. We were clocked doing 93 miles per hour in a 60 zone…. Yes Mom, I know… Anyway, we were passing 3 cars in a row and he clocked us at close to our max speed. Anyway, GG and I managed to talk ourselves out of a ticket and proceeded to take it easy for a few miles afterwards.

Here are a few pics:
