I live in a city …

• Where old people have to run across the street in fear of their lives from being hit by cars
• Where the cool thing for kids to do is “go dumb”
• Where getting a signature notarized can not be done by your bank
• Where schools are afraid to remove fried foods and soda from the cafeteria because that is where they earn all of their money and they will not have enough money in their budget to feed the kids otherwise
• Where motorcyclists get beat to death for passing cars
• Where bus drivers completely disregard traffic laws, street lights and civil behavior

.. I’m glad to get that off my chest. Thanks for listening. :)

All motorcycle riders have photos of themselves posing with their ride while they are out and about. So I figured I should have one too. This shot was taken this past weekend when Amy and I went down to Half Moon Bay to have lunch at the local brewery. The restaurant was way below par, but the ride and the weather were pretty sweet. Click on the photo to see a larger version and to see a few more shots from the ride.

Today, Amy and I woke up and decided to take a ride for a few hours. We took a common motorcycling route (I believe) down HWY 1 winding along the ocean and then through the woods. After about 50 miles we arrived at Alices Restaurant a popular motorcycle hang out and let me tell you, we were not the only ones who decided to go out on a sunny day for a motorcycle ride.

As we pulled around the last winding leg before Alices you could hear the bikes ahead. We pulled up to a stop sign to see 3 full parking lots (easily 50+ motorcycles) all hanging out, eating lunch and chatting with everyone else. There were Harleys, sport bikes, dirt bikes and everything in between. I will be sure to take my camera next time because you can’t really believe it until you have seen it. Out in what seems the middle of nowhere is this popular, delicious restaurant and resting/meeting spot for motorcyclists passing through the area. Needless to say, we had a great time on a sunny day winding through the mountains, trees and along the ocean at times with a pit stop to meet some interesting folks and to eat some really good food.

Check out the map below, it kinda highlights the route we took to get there and where Alices is. Now that we have made the trip once, maybe we can ride along with Joe next time (you are reading this, aren’t you Joe?). The map was made at www.wayfairing.com as a test, but could be pretty cool for things like this.

Random San Francisco goodness. Photos taken in and around San Francisco. A whole set of san fran, china town, cable car, etc photos if you click on the photo. Enjoy!
