Left Fri 4/8 for Pacific Grove/Monterey CA. 6 of us braved some rain and enjoyed a very relaxed pace ride to Monterey.
The route out: 101 to 154 to 101 to G14 to 101 to 68 into Monterey. Home via 1 to 101 to 154 to 101.

This was my firST MC rodeo and it was very intereSTing. I hope someday they hold it at a fairground or somewhere other than a narrow city ST. The rodeo was after a very thorough inspection of the bikes (we're talking white glove here) by the US Marines. Really.
The CHP (on BMWS) were no doubt the beST performers of the event. Bike brands: MoSTly BMWs with a few Kaws and HDs. The BMWs were clearly the beST in the very tight slalom course. The ride back today was awesome. Here are few pix.

You should have snuck in there and showed them how a real motorcycle
handles... :eek:

I really wonder how the 1300 STs will do with the touchy throttle response. This conteST requires very precise throttle/clutch work. Lots of practice required for any rider/bike.
