I met up with the NorCal gents for breakfast at the famed Alice's Restaurant - Old Michael, Dr. Rich, Brodie, Brian/FJRONMISSION, and Ray/Silent (who has been silent for too long... and I missed his biker chick too)
Rich and Ray are trying to read each other's mind... I think they fell asleep...
Can't miss Brodie's bike... they saw it from about 10 miles away!
This family model rig was parked right next to the deck where we were sitting...
Everybody all suited up and ready to go... the kids had electronic gadgets to keep them occupied in the sidecar!
After a sumptuous breakfast, Dr. Rich and OM headed to meet up with the Zonies who were heading north on Hwy 1... riding in the Silver Chariot, I took a more leisurely pace down 84 and Pescadero Rd. and a stop at one of my favorite places, Pescadero Beach... it was a stunningly beautiful day!
I then headed to Monterey to meet a some of the silverback forum members - Fairlaner, beemerdons, Big-D, DJ Bill and also met Danny/ynotride and John/John Dumke for dinner...
Rich was looking very festive for the evening...
Given the De Anza Best Western (great room price, btw!) was not nearly within walking distance of the wharf area, it was decided to sup at the restaurant next door to the hotel, Monterey Cookhouse, which had excellent food and the gents were gentlemen and bought me dinner... thanks, guys! B)
Self portrait in the elevator (mirror on the ceiling)... :lol:
They had an indoor pool in the lobby filled with koi... that one in the middle was huge! I saw Richard eyeing it before dinner... thank gawd he didn't have a rod and reel!
And then I watched them play with their balls... sometimes they played with each others... Richard's was blue.
Lovely seeing old friends and wonderful meeting new ones...
