The plan is to Ride Motorcycles Everyday and Party Every Night. :teeth

So.. officially letting BARF know that myself and a few of my best buds are doing an entire west coast ride from Seattle to San Diego.

We are doing a social gathering at the Old Princeton in Half Moon Bay on Wednesday Sept 7th.and your are invited to come join us for the festivities - see route info below for more info. If you are distant from the Bay Area I have listed the other Bars we are going to and you are welcome to stop by. Our plan is BAR TIME from 7-9pm

By the way we are filming the entire adventure with a real film crew (5 total), 10 GoPro's, 3 drone companies and two chase vehicles, because 1 could never keep up. :laughing

I am dedicating the ride to my Dad. :rose

This all happened because of the Pandemic, being bored, a bit slow at work and I watched the Modern Marvels: Construction of the Pacific Coast Highway on YouTube. I thought damn.... I have never ridden the entire west coast of the US and that would be a blast. Several BARF friends have been doing the BAD KOBAZ PCH Cayucos thing for years so why not make it bigger and better.. Epic!

Then I thought I should film it so I can leave some cool stuff behind for my Grandkids to see later in their lives. 18 months later with tons of planning and logistics we are ready to ride.

Here is the plan:

DATE: Friday September 2nd thru Sunday Sept 11th.

You are invited to come have some fun with us at the Princeton Landing . Official time for us to get there is 7pm, but they have food and you can come by whenever is clever. Put your mug in our filming effort and have some fun! :Port

End Day 7: Morro Bay - Sept 9th
Fun:Legends

End Day 8: Santa Monica - Sept 10th

End Day 9: San Diego - Sept 11th

Each day we are slammed on time and thanks to Enchanter have every stop timed to the minute. However we all know how ride plans can get wonky! :ride

My only regret on this is our good friend Butch, a BAD KOBAZ staple could not join us. He is hoping to do a bit on one day.
We will miss your energy brother.

Wish us luck and come on out to The Old Princeton Landing!

Cheers!

How are you getting the bikes to Washington and back from San Diego?

Sounds epic though, and a ton of fun.

Shipping / Riding.
 
The Fabulous Thunderbirds are playing at the Siren on Sept 9.
 
Sounds like an awesome time - can't wait to see the pics and write-up!

If I trusted my KTM to make it that far without issues I'd probably find a way to make this work /s :laughing
 
Yeah, this sounds like it's gonna be a gas.
I will be following this thread closely with envy.
Have fun, guys!

There is going to be a movie!
 
Assuming all goes well there will be a movie. All about the $$$. This first part is expensive enough.

We will see how it goes. Right now. We film.
 
Sounds cool.. Hope to see in HMB maybe..
 
Going to be Epic. Looking forward to the ride reports.
 
What a blast! Maybe I'll catchup in HMB.
