All details finally nearly finalized, I flew out to John Wayne airport. 50 pound bag of gear checked and paid for, I was really stoked to be picked up the night before our departure. Kevin and his lovely family put me up at their place not far away. The coastal breezes were wonderful, his girls were wonderful, I was asleep on his patio not long after...
Kevin and I had the BMW and Moto Guzzi to choose from for the trip to Monterey. He had already set up the Beemer, I gladly took the Guzzi. It's a quirky bike at best. Loads of Character. Early the next morning we set out on our adventure. Let me tell you, lane splitting the 405 on a loaded up Moto Guzzi is perhaps the biggest Adventure of the whole trip. This Colorado boy aint quite used to that kind of adventure. But, I loved every minute of it.
