Packed up the Speedy and spent the past few days at our favorite get-away, Moonstone Beach, on the Central California Coast. Logged another 700 miles. Odometer currently reads 8,275 Km (5,142 miles in 4 months).

 

I hope you enjoy this 3:30 minute video of our trip. When video starts, click 'Gear' icon in lower right corner and adjust video quality to 720HD.

Nice stuff Jim.  Thanks for sharing.  Go-Pro is changing the way we collect memories.  Got a bunch of great motorcycle footage from back in the day.  My favorite is a clip of me on a Ducati 916 tearing up Deals Gap to Dave Matthews #41.  

The no hand gear changes along the bluffs were making me a bit nervous but you probably have more seat time than anyone on this site.  

I don't know who has more fun in this Video;   Ginny, certainly, to be out at such an awesome area with her sweetie, Jim for making and editing the video and putting it all together (it's actually a lot of fun), or the rest of us for enjoying it from our warm family rooms with all of the cold and yucky snow outside.

 

Looks like we're all winners in this so, THANKS, JIM!

 

Oh, and I agree - that Left Arm is NOT to be messed with!

Thanks, my pineapple headed brother, for reminding us on the other edge of the Continent that Summer will get here eventually. We have an inch of slush on everything and an ice cold rain right now but I haven't had to fire up the snowblower yet this year. Last week the Bay was frozen for about 2 miles toward the horizon and you could see Grey Seals out on the edge of the ice. They come here to give birth to their pups, eat all the fish, and generally be a PIA.  Hope to see you and your sweet young bride at Carlisle this year.

 

PS  Nice looking oysters....I know a good one when I see it.

Thanks for the kind words, David! The songs used on this video are from Carlos Santana 'Una Noche en Napoles' and Eric Clapton's tribute album for J.J. Cale.

Bummer, Doug!

 

On one of our trips, the throttle cable broke 2 inches from the end, at the carb linkage. We were 200 miles from home. Found a piece of shoe-string along the shoulder of the road and made my McGuyver fix as shown below...

 

McGuyver

 

…not only did we make it home, I drove the car like this for a few days until I got a replacement throttle cable.

"Wild" Bill Drayer snapped a throttle cable one year on one of the Carlisle Cruises to the Caddy Shack restaurant.  Didn't have to "McGiver" it as he had a spare, and I stopped with him to help.  He had it replaced and we were back on the road in about ten minutes.  Didn't bother to try to catch the group, just headed right to the restaurant bar via a shortcut for some beers.......
