Thank you guys Its so beautiful up there. Take your time and enjoy "the feel" only rarely that "unexplainable something from motorcycle riding" can really overwhelm the adrenaline and excitement from actual riding part. If starting from san fran to north, take the less known but exciting alternate roads parallel to highway 1 up and then when u come back to san fran take PCH all the way down for endless ocean view. The video from this thread was from socal mostly, which was crowded. Liked north which was more "zen" like this:D >> last year video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2nmXovV4G4 Thank you for that, i am feeling to understand. Each day when u hold him you feel the change yourself. Your thought process, dreams, plans all start to revolve around him But what you said is soooo right "Some guys give up riding once they have kids. I feel thats a bit nuts, to take something I've done my whole life and just give it up. its a part of me, its made me who i am. I want my son to know the "real" me"
