Day 9/10 - Pismo Beach, CA – 6/1 – We rode by all the beautiful people in Hollywood, Beaverly Hills, /Bel-Aire, Malibu but didn't see anyone we knew. Did see a lot of BMW's, Mercedes, and a few Bentleys. We checked into the Best Western in Pismo Beach, a really great place. The motel sits on the cliffs right on the ocean, great views and rolling surf all night long. I made a run for some cokes after checking in and got stopped by the hwy patrol. Seems I forgot my helmet. He asked if I had had anything to drink today and like a dumb ass I said yes I had a drink earlier. He gave me the whole sobriaty routine. No problem and no ticket for the helmet but he made me park the bike and walk about a mile back to the motel to get the helmet. I guess this is a big party town, seems like there is a cop behind every tree!

The drive from LA was nice, not many friendly bikers in that neck of the woods. We passed at least 300 bikers and only got 8 waves from them – yep I started to count, just to see how many friendly people I could find. People around there seem a bit snobby! Carol
