PashnitBusa heads to NorCal Wonderland. Another Pashnit Pic Thread.

[pashnit]

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.





San Francisco. Pacific Ocean on the right.



Where the tour goes. Bolinas Ridge Rd btw.



Company.



You are now on Pashnit Motorcycle Roads.

 

[pashnit]

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







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.

 

[pashnit]

Finally arriving at the Pacific Ocean



Checkin' out the new saddlebags from RKA Luggage. You can buy these softbags here.

 

[pashnit]

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. But that's likely why I'm on a Busa.

Bmw rt



Not a bad view for lunch




As we were sitting there, two planes showed up and started doing acrobatic maneuvers. A treat!





Shot of Bruce's GoPro Hero.

Very popular little video camera this summer.

I've sent out quite a few of them. If you'd like to see more pics & vids, click here.

Sonoma Coastline

 

[pashnit]

Stop at the Point Arena Lighthouse





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.




Colony of Seals recently showed up. See 'em?

 

[pashnit]

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.

 

[pashnit]

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.



Forest Rd 1



My two GoPro Hero's at work.





B!tchin' up here says Feng. Elevations up to 6500 feet

 

[pashnit]

More of Forest Rd 1. Goes like this for 50 miles.

 

[pashnit]

More fiddling with the GoPro

 

[pashnit]

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.

 

[pashnit]

Then on to ride the Avenue of the Giants through the redwood forest



See the bike?



Drive-Thru tree

 

[pashnit]

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



See the GoPro?



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



Our lil group, always a great time, fantastic roads!

 

[pashnit]

And it was off to home 5 hrs away.



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.

...End...
