After caging it about 4,000 miles to Minneapolis and back, and seeing too many Harleys and not enough FJRs, upon returning home yistiddy I was pretty ready to get back in the saddle. So I invited myself down to Silent's to accompany him on a bread run to Pescadero, which is somewhere near the ocean.

So I got to Silent's in San Jose an hour south of Concord at 9AM. We went out to breakfast at the local Denny's, then headed off to get our bread. Temps on the ride ranged from 90 to 65. Like Goldilocks' porridge, I was either too hot or too cold all damn day in my 'stitch!

Here are some pics....

Pulled up in front of Silent's.

Silent's new companion, Alex, a "good boy."

The food shot. Breakfast at Denny's. ALWAYS remember to request melted cheese on your hash browns.

Stopped for a quick break at a local Bay Area ride rendezvous. (Group at left part of the Hands on Head club.)

Only a few more pics till girls in bikinis!

That's an ST1300 in there somewhere, along with a chick bike on the end (it had a dooley-whop feathery thingy hanging off the license plate).

Across from the bakery was a nice picnic area. Note the musicians in the back right. (Very California foo foo.)

Pescadero State Beach just ahead across Highway 1. (Girls in bikinis dead ahead!)

J.B., welcome back friend. I missed your charming and witty posts.

I know damn well that's why that young thing was running away..
Barry, she isn't running away. She's looking back to see if anyone is looking back to see if she's looking back to see if they're looking at her. She IS a California girl! :swoon:

I assure you, there fake ID's were flawless B)

Was a good day indeed. Had a chance to hang with JB and enjoy the day. For a change, I didn't have to ride an hour or two to the start of the ride, then another hour or two home after. And no bridge tolls! :p I was home early enough for a haircut B)

Gotta love it B)

Well! That Hurt!

Lived there, spent a lot of time there, Santa Cruz Mountains and coast, till June '07, now live in New Bern, NC.

Nice place, but sure do miss the CA riding! Scenery and such is nice here, you can find yourself literally all by yourself on the road, but "fast" is not a common occurance here, the fuzz is revenue hungry and the speed limits are sad to see for an old CA boy.

Not to mention that hot and humid here is hot and humid on the coast also!

 
Great stuff JB. Saw first hand today the fantastic riding you guys have here as I have caged down from MT to the Senior games for SWMBO (tennis). Drove up to the Skyline Blvd from Palo Alto. Holy smokes! Although I've never been there I can't imagine the dragon's tail has anything on those roads. Wish I could ride 'em _ sigh_.

7X

 
Don't live in Kalleefornia (as arnold says) anymore, so I have to settle for these cigar peddlin dames at the laughlin river run.
