73 men sailing, to that San Francisco Bay... (you know that song?)

Started the day somewhat early, packed up and rolled out to visit TriQuest Sidecar Motorcycles in Santa Clara, and my good friend Pete in Alameda. My bike is just under 2000km, and the recommended service is at 2500km, but leaving her in the expert hands of Ski is never a bad thing. Plus, even though I can do the service myself, I really wanted another pair of eyes on her to help ensure safety.

Had some fun checking out the sites on the way there!

Welcome to San Francisco!
Yep, thats Alcatraz in the background. Thats also the best looking bike in the world in the foreground!

After crossing the bridge, we took a scenic detour by the ocean and the famous Cliff House. Soon after, we were back on the freeway, dealing with some congested traffic and several people who refuse to acknowledge motorcycles. I had to honk at one lady to prevent myself from getting ran over, and then she gave ME an ugly look!

Finally we arrived at TriQuest, and I spent most of my time there trying not to let my jaw hit the floor. I didnt get any pics of the shop (I'll get some tomorow) nor did I get any pics of the fantastic chili burger I ate for lunch! I gotta get a new camera ASAP!

My good friend Pete came and picked me up, and I had to ride in a car for an hour to Alameda. Sure was weird being in a car! I'll get more pics and such later.

  2. Yep I gave Millsy $6.25 tour of San Francisco $6 to cross the Golden Gate Bridge and $.25 to park and take a picture of it. I also took him the scenic route through Sea Cliff, Lands End, Cliff House and Ocean Beach. Followed by a trip down the Great Highway before getting back on Hwy 101 to Santa Clara. It was great riding with you Millsy.
