Well boys & girls, sit back, let's take a little ride for a couple days.

Our tale begins in the beautiful seaside town of Sausalito, spittin' distance from the Golden Gate.

Ever get tired of photographing your own bike? Didn't think so. :laugh:

Bolinas Ridge Rd btw for those remotely near San Francisco is one of the must-do roads just north of and overlooking the city. Pacific Ocean on your left (behind me in the pic), and the mountainous terrain of Marin County on the right. See for miles.

The brand new fork mounted Clearwater Lights on the Hayabusa, quickly growing to love these things. Can click to learn more about these here. They make them for the 08+ too.

One of the fellas had the new 650R, great little bike

And the new BMW K1300S, didn't quite do it for me. :whistle: But that's likely why I'm on a Busa.

History explained by our docent

Where the lens once stood pictured above which is now in the museum. Quite a view at the top inside the lighthouse.

Been coming here for years, and it's time they've ever let the public walk around it at the very top. Wind up here is intense. :laugh:

Lamb Creek Grade in NorCal. Hwy 36 is in the valley down there.

Bruce was also set up to do a bit of filming. We put my two GoPro's on his bike at some point.

Stopping by the Joss House in Weaverville. One of the few remaining Chinese Temples dating back to the Gold Rush.

This time around I brought Feng with me who is Chinese and emigrated in his late teens to the US.

If you like history, this is always cool stuff.

Seem the cam above? Another way to mount the GoPro.

Dsc04584_gopro.jpg

See the GoPro?

Now you know what that RAM ball is for on the end of the handlebar. Gets some interesting angles.

And it was off to home 5 hrs away.

Dsc04615_gopro.jpg

No pics on way home, have to get home to wife and baby, but here's the general idea of the view along NorCal's Pacific Coast.

3 days, 1200 miles. Always good times. :cheerleader:

Sir I can't thank you enough for posting this tour. I often follow your pic threads. You out did yourself this time. Thanks :bowdown:
 
Hopefully, one day, I will have the privilege of going on a couple of your tours with you guys! Great scenery. Exhilarating sights! Wow! :thumbsup:
 
Very nice! I have ridden the coastal roads near there. I will have to join you in the future for a tour of your area.
