Day 2 - July 9th

So we took a look at brad's bike and found out there was an issue with his carb. After cleaning it up, we get it back on the rode. Orlando starts out driving today.

Our goal is to reach San Fransisco where we will meet up with the Sobe Bus Team.

About 60 miles out Brad's Sprint was having issues again. Back on the trailer and now Orlando back on the road. Riding up to Big Sur Was amazing. We stop for lunch there.

After a few hours and getting out of Southern California, Our bikes seam to run a lot better.
Along the way we stop to admire the beutiful coastline with a six pack.



Riding into San Francisco changed a lot as we got closer to the city. Highway 1 changes from a single lane into an 4 lane very quickly. We see the transfer back to the 1 to go through the Golden Gate Bridge, and we have to catch it on the left side of an exit. Cars driving more crazy and fast, zipping past us on our small scooters. It was kind of scary making those lane changes.

We ride in to the city and find the way to the Golden Gate Bridge. There are very strong wind gusts on that bridge. JJ got hit with a strong wind gust and his foot touched the guard rail for it. We stop once we pass the bridge to take a few pics. The site was amazing looking at the city.



We continue to go north for about 20 miles where Laura Burke and TDC Todd are.

Looking at Brad's bike, we find out the the flywheel is stripped. No parts available we make a call to the Slug Rockets in Humboldt, CA, We are staying with them the next night and they do have one, so we should be able to fix it then.
