Had a blast out in Nor Cal a few weeks ago and can't wait to go back! Traveled over 850 miles (1368 km). Here are a few select shots from the trip. Enjoy!

I like this shot, I am a sucker for panorama's 
Are you from the US or did you fly over and hire a bike?

Spent a night in big sur at those wooden cabins on highway one on my honeymoon. Nearly drove my hired mustang
off the cliffs into the sea on the return journey from San Francisco too. Driving along Highway one with
the roof down listening to Slayer will be a deathbed memory,did you see the giant seals just outside Cambria?
We stopped there to take some pictures as it was mating season and the beach was packed with them.
Didn't realise how smelly they are, like old damp socks. If you are ever in Cambria, stop at a restaurant in town called Linns.
Carrot cake so damn good that I didn't know whether I should fuck it, eat it or both. The good news (for you) is they ship all over the US
but unfortunately not overseas.

Big Sur was a blast on the bike. Only issues, I was exhausted by the time I got down there. I imagine driving while listing to Slayer probably gave that Mustang a few extra HP and it truly would have been "raining blood" if you had driven off.
Funny you mentioned the Seals. Those things do smell terrible! Like damp socks you say? Know what teenagers put in socks? Also it was mating season. Think about it. 
As for the carrot cake... If I get my hands on any I'll be sure to post a picture.

Excellent choice of topbox
Never underestimate the importance of the portable man cave.
Fantastic pictures!
I have a need to bimble around 'merica, to see what they've done with the place since we let them have it
Closest I'd get to a cruiser would be a Bonnie though.
Europe has some cool stuff (from what little I've seen on TeeVee).
Really want to check out Slovinia and would suggest you do the same. |

Slovenia, Croatia area looks beautiful. Did a quick search for Motorcycle tours and found this site. Great picture on their main page:

Hi from Switzerland,
very nice pictures. We also think about a mixed tour in US once, but this will be in the future!
If you are planing a trip to Europe or Switzerland, do not hesitate to contact me if you need some tips for Switzerland or the nighbourhood.
