Soooo tempting! But I think I want to watch the parade... I'm going to have to give that some thought though, a once in a lifetime chance. HmmmQuote:

My recommendation is either go early, stroll the line of bikes at the staging area, do not drool on the bikes and then go to parade start and watch em roll by. I can't explain how moving the sight and sound is especially last year with all the progress. Or .....Quote:

The parade is kind of a mobile experience, you find a good spot, stand and watch, see someone you know or a group you're involved in and pop in and walk for a while. Step out and walk backwards or forwards. .... Or you can just stay put. Keep in mind the side of Market you are on determines if you'll freeze in shade or boil in sun. think layers.
As for a motorbike tour I think you should head south out of San Francisco to Half Moon Bay perhaps taking 92 up over the hill. stop for a break in Half Moon Bay, keep going down the coastal highway to here for lunch at Duarte's perhaps

You could continue to Santa Cruz. the boardwalk's fun but more important there are redwoods to hug.
If I head south I'll have to stop and pay the customary homage to Mavericks. :D
You could. Could also take the train through the redwoods. I do not know if you can get off the train and hug a tree;

To make it more enticing :)….they close off a street to park the motorcycles just a few blocks from the end of the parade route so you can walk back and watch. You’ll only miss the first couple of groups in the lineup out of the 200+ that participate. DOB's should have all that info.
and continue on to Big Sur!!!!!!Quote:

Oh yeah, Big Sur!
Oh dear lord. The literary Bad Sex nominations are out. This article is half as funny as the comments below, which have given me a stomach ache from laughing so hard. NSFW http://www.theguardian.com/books/pol...014?CMP=twt_gu
That's wonderful. I needed a laugh.Quote:

Just dropping by to say hi to all the old TD buds. Nice to recognize so many names.
It's been a long time, and I have not been riding much.
Anyway, Hi all! :)
Hi! I hope all is well with you.Quote:
