I have made the ride on PCH/101, beautiful ride. I had no issue with bike security, most of the motels/hotels let me park it next to the room or in front of the office. I went in July and it was a traffic nightmare at times with all of the families vacationing, tour buses, etc, but a beautiful ride.

Many years ago I was at a bike event thinking about what it was that got me interested in motorcycles. Was it the beauty and freedom of the open road? Was it the camaraderie and brotherhood of like minded guys that also rode motorcycles? Or maybe it was the looks, power and sound of V-Twin engines. As I pondered the question a voice came over the loud speaker and said, "Alright. The wet T-shirt contest will be starting in 10 minutes" and that's when it hit me!

I love the feeling I get after that first 10 feet of riding. The smells in the air..(usually barbecue!) the sights. It is as enjoyable now as it was 40+ years ago.

I did that same ride, in the other direction.

It was too short of a ride. I needed much more of that.
