This ride to Carmel Valley will be like sliding down a rainbow because at the end of it there’s a pot of motorcycle gold called Moto Talbott. This little museum is a hidden gem of motorcycle history. Founded by Robb Talbott, co-founder of Talbott Winery, an avid motorcycle enthusiast who spent decades curating this very unique collection. Robb didn’t just…
Saturday, April 27th Nothing captures the essence of motorbiking as much as a roller coaster. We’re not talking about those modern vomit comets that twist your body in endless contortions. We’re referring to the classic, old school coasters rendered in wood with breathtaking acceleration, fun little dips and lots of smooth sweeping turns with the wind in your face. Sounds…
Jelly beans and Easter… ? they go together like shamma-lamma, lamma-lamma ding-dong! Nothing says Easter like little bunny hop on the bike through the springtime sunshine to pick up some jelly beans to share with the loved ones. This should be a fun ride the week before Easter as we head north in pursuit of our beloved gourmet jelly bean…
Saturday, March 30th We are in for some seriously nice riding weather for this trip to Half Moon Bay. This also means a lot of tourists in cars clogging the coastal ride northbound on US 1. To avoid the traffic while maximizing our ocean view, we will be taking the freeway to Pacifica and dropping in on HMB from the…

Saturday, Feb 23rd, 2019, KSU at 10 am This is one of our favorite local rides with a stop at one of our favorite cafes for lunch. We’ll head through the beautiful redwood forest in Big Basin down to Capitols where we’ll stop for lunch at Gayle’s Bakery. The food is pretty amazing here so bring an appetite. We’ll head…
Let’s try this again… Our ride to Mt. Diablo has been foiled multiple times by weather, but it looks like we’ll prevail this weekend with sunny skies and temperatures in the low 70’s. Epic! The views here are spectacular from the top of Diablo so bring your cameras and sunglasses. The drive will be scenic with sweeping turns and just…

In 1967, Burt took his machine to Utah’s salt flats, where…
This should be a very enjoyable ride to Stanislaus County at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Some of you old timers might recognize the scenery because this was where they shot the television series Bonanza and Little House on the Prairie. It is also home to the Knights Ferry Bridge, the longest covered bridge west of the Mississippi at…
This will be an all day ride to Parkfield, CA (south of King City). We will stop at the James Dean memorial, at the very spot where two tectonic plates converge. And rumor has it that we can find some great BBQ here right along the San Andreas Fault. Hopefully, we’ll enjoy the baking without the shaking! Please RSVP at…
