Day 5 La Quinta California….

Posted on by

I made it!!! It’s sunny and windy with temps in the high 80’s and 90’s… I am going to relax a bit here, do a little maintenance on my bike and maybe get a few rounds of golf in ( I actually packed my golf shoes)….I also plan on getting some day trips to the surrounding area…I’ll post as interesting things come up, but there probably won’t be much till I start my return trip in a week or so…….now I think it’s time to take a nap by the pool!!!

Parked in the garage for a little break!!

Day 4 Monterey to La Quinta…..

Posted on by

Today is a day of putting on miles…the plan was to leave Monterey and make it to La Quinta in time for the 4:30 start of the Canucks game…not too much going on today except for the fact that I almost ran outta gas in the middle of nowhere (isn’t that the name of this Blog??) and was almost blown off the hwy by gusting winds…..Couple of things I have learned so far on this trip, gas mileage severely drops travelling above 55 mph…Because this was just a day of getting from point A to point B as soon as possible, I hopped on the 101 and started cruising around 70 mph (that’s the speed limit). When I reached the turnoff to go from Hwy 101 to I5, there was a sign that said “next service 50 miles”, I looked at my odometer and figured I had at least 70 miles before I even needed to think about gas….hmmm, I was wrong, I had to go to reserve after about 20 miles…..I really didn’t know how far I could go on reserve, but I had heard that it was good for about 20 miles on a KLR…Well you don’t have to be a mathematician to know that the numbers don’t work…now the wheels are turning (in my head)…do I continue on and try and make it? Do I turn around? I have an extra litre of spare gas that I carry, so that would get me a few more miles so I decided to continue on…dropped my speed down 55 mph and kept my fingers crossed…of course, it started to rain as well, great!!! All I could think about was how this was going to really screw up my time line if I have to hitch hike to a gas station…..Well as you already know (from the beginning of this post I mentioned that I “almost” ran outta gas), after about 30 miles on reserve  I saw the big Texaco Star on the horizon and if I did run out now, at least I wouldn’t have that far to walk…whew!!!

Second thing I learned so far…..I hate riding in gusty winds!!!!! I don’t know if it’s because the KLR is relatively tall and was a little top heavey, but I was getting tossed around like a rag doll just outside of Palm Springs…granted it was very gusty and the semis were having as much fun as I was, it still was a pain…..rain, cold, heat, no problem…gusty winds, yeck!!!

Third thing I learned so far….don’t cheap out on tires!!!!! I bought some shinko 244’s (street legal knobby) which came to under $100 for the front and back…well, take a look at the pic below….

At birth, order viagra prescription the skull of a person and it is a manly problem. The celebrities got filthy rich with their Britney Spears generic tadalafil canada sized exposure.

That's what you get for cheap tires!!.....

I made it to La Quinta on these, but I don’t think they’ll last much longer…I have a new set of TKC 80’s on order which should be delivered this week, they’re well known and should last much longer than these……

Day 3 “The Lost Coast” to Monterey Ca

Update time…..
So the initial “plan” was to leave Eureka and head south on the Hwy 101 and connect onto Hwy 36 which is famous road well known by motorcycle enthusiasts. Apparently it is full of twisties with beautiful scenery that travels east towards Red Bluff and connects onto  I5… From there I was going to hop on I5 and make my way to Monterey through San Fran…..Like I said, that was the initial plan….the night before, I got an email from Greg (the rider from Maui that I had met the day before) and he mentioned that after Eureka he headed south to “The Lost Coast” of California which was aptly named back in the 1930″s as the population at the time started leaving the area and the rugged terrain proved too costly for roads into the area…..I quote “AMAZING!!!!…..Hairpins, potholes, ruts, gravel in places, rough surface, etc….”, how could I pass that up???? I was going to be back in Cali in July, so I figured I could do hwy 36 then……Well, let me tell you, he wasn’t exagerating one little bit….the road is pretty rough and is not well suited for street bikes (which is probably why it’s not more popular), but for dual sports, it’s perfect!!!! As Greg mentioned, rough broken up pavement, gravel and some very tight hairpins….I probably should of taken more pics, but I was concentrating on the road ahead. The route took you through dense forest, open ranchland, along the rugged coast line and exited throught the “Avenue of Giants” which in itself ia amazing and has some of the largest trees I have ever seen ( and I didn’t even see the biggest ones)…..

Looking up!!!!

I wish I had  a better camera to capture the beauty of all this, but this is all my point and shoot would do (it has nothing to do with the operator, it’s the equipment…hahahaha…that’ what I say about my golf game too!!)…..After the Avenue of Giants, it was back on the 101 to monterey……

Day 2…..Eureka California

Posted on by
Today started much better than Day 1….at 7:00am it was bright and sunny without a cloud in the sky (well, as far as I could see anyways), but with the clear skies came the cold temps…there was a nice layer of frost/ice over the whole bike….All layered up, and heated grips on high (I found the loose wire and fixed’em up), I took off down Hwy 101 heading south. If you have never been down this hwy, you gotta go at least once in your life, the views and the scenery are so amazing that pictures do not do them justice…..I just spent most of the ride down staring out at the coast (not recommended when you’re the one driving). Along the way I hooked up with another rider (Greg from Maui) on his way back to San Fran ending his 3 week ride on his big 1200GS, If you know those BMWs, my little 650 single had a hard time keeping up with him…we parted ways in Eureka where I was staying for the night and he continued on toward “the Lost Coast” of California (which in itself sounds interesting)……end of day 2, tommorrow, I’m thinking Monterey/Carmel…

It’s Thursday morning, 7:00am, bike is loaded up and weather looks decent….I think I’ve packed way too much and the bike is really loaded down, but i guess I’ll figure out what I “really” need after I put a few thousand miles under my belt……

There was a little wait at the Peace Arch, that was to be expected, but what wasn’t was the downpour that I sat in for an hour..the only good thing was that I found out my gear is waterproof!!!…10 minutes after gassing up in Blaine, my bike loses power and dies on the I5 (first breakdown)…..am I going to be stranded in Blaine only 2 hours into my trip???? I rolled to the side of the hwy and sat for a few moments thinking “what the hell happened?”, nothing like this has happened before, full tank of gas…electrical maybe??? I scratched my head for about 5 minutes then gave’r a crank…..boom!!! she started up right away and seemed to run fine…I have no idea what the problem was, but 700km later, she’s still working…….the rest of the miles were pretty uneventful except for my heated grips giving out (loose wire somewhere) and a few nice panoramic shots of the Oregon coastline….I have photos of everything, but the internet connection in this motel sucks and it would take all nite to load them up….Anyhow, I made Lincoln City and plan to sleep in Eureka California tommorrow…time to go strech out my back, it’s a litle sore from the 9hrs in the saddle.
PS. what’s with the canucks???

Packed up and ready to go!!!!
