Finally, we are getting to the most anticipated parted of our trip. Today we hit the Pacific Coast Highway to make our way down to LA. After our bikes are packed and ready to go we bid farewell to Mark and thank him for his hospitality. I tell him these days In San Francisco with him have been our best…

Marco woke up earlier then Gomes and I, something that has become normal in our daily routines, so that he could head over to Greg’s garage. He takes my bike so that Gomes and I can meet him at the shop later. I wake up to a work emergency, one of the servers is down. Luckily I’m in a good…

While enjoying the company of my fellow riders and our wonderful host, Mark, over my insisted upon touristy clam chowder lunch and my phone rings. Area code says it hails from Colorado. A familiar voice is on the other end, Brook Reams, who you might remember vouched for Clem back in Denver. Turns out Brook had been following this blog,…

We were out the door in good time today because we left our bags at Mark’s house while we rode up to the Redwoods. We go up 101 past San Francisco and catch 1 north towards Muir Beach. The road was a fun drive as it was full of curves. Upon arrival to Muir Beach we find out that it’s…

The BMW Owners Anonymous book comes out again this morning. There’s one phone number that claims to offer the works; space to work, a trailer, chit chat, emergency services, etc. Whoever is on the other end doesn’t need to be an expert but it’d be nice if they knew more than me on this matter. I dial the number and…

This morning Marco went off to work on his motorcycle again. It’s quickly becoming a trend. He wakes up earlier to go try and fix his bike while Gomes and I sleep in a bit more and then try to get some content created. As Gomes and I strapped our gear to our bikes we met a guy who used…

Wendover had surprised us the night before. It was like a mini Vegas. It’s where you’d go if you wanted Vegas but more low key. Its calmer and quiter. Marco had left his battery charging the night before and after testing that his bike would run using my battery he re-installed his battery. By the time his bike was all…
