Nice day on Highway 1 today.

Alex · February 1st, 2009, 06:20 PM

Had a fun Sunday Morning Ride up in Marin today. And took some pics!

All these pics (and more) available in full resolution right up in this gallery.

Alex - your killing me man. Used to live in Morgan Hill. Didn't ride in those days but sure do miss the area and the coast. Thanks for the pictures.

BlueTyke · February 2nd, 2009, 07:19 AM

Don - It's worse when you lived there you rode!

Nice pictures Alex!

MrTiddles · February 2nd, 2009, 03:01 PM

Nice mate. Quite jealous.

aloh · February 2nd, 2009, 07:29 PM

Beautiful.

Ive never been that far up the PCH. This upcoming sunday I am going to spend a few hours in the canyons in my cage (sorry, I just got new tires and I am dying to test it out. Besides, I dont trust myself on the ninja for canyon caving just yet)

what tires did you get?

Weird Highway 1 facts:

Did you know that it's only officially the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) closer to your neck of the woods? It takes on a couple different names as it goes up the coast. But even here in SF, sometimes people still call it the PCH out of habit.

I meant new tires for my cage, not the bike. But if you really were asking about the car, I got a set of Bf Goodrich KDW2's.

I did not know that!

Alex, Thanks for the memories. Rte 1 is still as beautiful as I remember it. I was stationed at Ft.Ord in 1967 and lived in Marina--at a place called Crescent Manor Apartments. At that time I was riding a Triumph TR-6--same as the Bonneville but with one carb. I used to like riding to Carmel and through Big Sur. I even moonlighted selling cars for Ralph Williams Crysler-Plymouth. He had these obnoxious ads on TV with his German Shepherd--whose name escapes me now. I think I`ll be riding across the US to visit my daughter in San Jose. I won`t be ridng the Ninjette. I`ll be riding my bicyle.

Wow I miss the ocean so much.. I was born in South CA and grew up taking trips to the beach. Then I move to TX while I was still real young, but the Gulf is nothing like the Pacific Ocean. I miss being able to smell the ocean before you saw it, then getting all excited, lol. Beautiful pics.

Sailariel · February 2nd, 2009, 09:12 PM

Tor, I can understand. I live on the coast of Maine, maybe a hundred meters from the ocean. Spent some time in Texas doing my internship at Brooke Army Medical Centre on their Burn Unit. I think I could only live on the Gulf coast of Texas. We have sailed to Corpus Christi and some other places on the Texas coast--nice area, sure would not want to live inland.

Nemy · February 4th, 2009, 02:03 PM

Real nice pics! The red just stands right out and makes a great picture. I hate you guys for your roads though... in Canada its mostly straight lines and highways

and that's if we can get past all the snow!

sccerpro01 · March 1st, 2009, 05:07 PM

I am brand new to this site, this is my first post. and i just wanted to say that this is one of the majoy reasons i want to buy a bike very soon. i live in san jose, so i can take a quick trip to the ocean and have a beautiful ride.

Alex · March 1st, 2009, 05:14 PM

Welcome! Can't think of a nicer place in the world for motorcycles than northern California. (but I'm sure some on the board will certainly say there are other areas that may be just as nice!

)

sccerpro01 · March 1st, 2009, 05:20 PM

yes i agree with you, although i have not rode a motorcycle. i do enjoy the natural beauty that is up here. the only other place that can compete is Alaska, in the summer time of course. i was up there this summer and when its not freezing it seems like it would be an amazing place to bike
