So this is my day today...

So this is my day todayit all started with an hour strut in the streets of SF. I was thinkin to speed up the process I could roll inland and hit the i5 but I think I'm gonna rip the #1 and hug the coastline.
Next stop will be Santa Barbara and lookin at the map it looks like I may be spending the night. I think I'll camp this time. Santa Barbara to born free shouldn't be too much more than a couple hours
Got outta Sf, took a bit... Started Rollin and somehow took a wrong turn and ended up in San Jose essay!!! Blasted onto hwy 17 now I'm in Santa cruz... My plan is to stay on hwy 1 and head south to santabarbara, I'll let u know how that goes.
I've jus stopped to gas up an get a taco about a half hour to Santa Barbara. I haven't found any wifi any where yet( guess I haven't really looked hard enough). Saw some pretty rad shit on the way through, about another 30/ 40 km an I will have hit 50000km (on the bike itself.) I'm almost 2600km in on the trip. The southern Cali coast is so beautiful. Tonight I'll be looking for camp somewhere. So u all may not get this til tomorrow. I'll hit u guys inhabit whether I stop in Santa Barbara or roll through.

940 pm :I ripped it through Santa Barbara, lane splitting all the way... Stuck in mega busy traffic in LA??? Thas right I lane split the whole damn way through LA to orange county...man it was awesome... I am glad that we don't have approval for that up north, there'd be allots dead bikers...I'm thankful for the few guys who showed me the way. One ol school guy rippin an old beat on Honda 750. He was radi made it to some where's in laguna. Bummed out I had to get a hotel again hehe. Oh well. I got here safe that's all that matters right? So I'm hopin to meet up with couves and the boys at born free then gonna crash at their campsite for the night. I'm exhausted. My odometer now reads well over 50,000 km after today, and in the 3 days I been on the road I have put well over 3000 km in the past 3 days. I jus got a room and it's 9:40. Sorry if this and all the pics are scattered, it's kinda like my brain right now.and I apologize, for the pics, it's easy to take a pic but these pics suck, there is jus no way these photos can give u everything I saw, and I smelled.... Thanks for listening, once again I hope this was easy listening for ur ears...goodnight and stay classy San Diego....wha??? Haha

SF

Well I made it through grants pass onto 199 then into california state, rippin through some ol redwoods with c.o.c. cranked. Here now In crescent city hangin in a familiar place finally on the coastline. Makes me think of a couple years ago, blastin through here with kent, whom I pretty much followed the whole trip hehe! Miss ya bro, wish u Were here. It's nice to actually make my own path. Feelin no pressure.
made it to SF, I'm just roaming the streets. I love this city, full of great people, beautiful architecture. The streets smell of excellent food, what a great place to be...
Such character in all of the homes, I only wish as the tradesman we are that we could also be craftsman, and take pride in what we build.
There's a mist in the air here that is so refreshing...it's so quiet but so busy at the same time. What a great night. I've only rode out here once, a couple years ago, feel like I actually know where I am and where I'm going . I could walk around here for hours, might spend the day here tomorrow. I'm hopin to check out Santa Barbara tomorrow my bud Mista Chow said great things, so we'll see what the morning says. My body is feelin like mush from gettin pounded the past couple days of riding. Anyway I hope it's been easy listening to me... I miss u all, it's lonely on the road but my mind is feeling refreshed already...im very tired. see u all in the morning...

Rolled through Washington...

Well I ripped it through Washington state, some pretty awesome country. Blasted through the amazing city of Portland, fueled up in Eugene and thought about stayin the night, (made me think of my pops). But instead ripped it to the stardust motel Just outside of cottage grove, oregon. Was a long day of riding. Almost 1200km, i think. 14 hour day. Took a dent outta the trip thats for sure. Thinking of Jess and jetty. Thinking of my best buoy D...Thinking of all my amigos I left behind up north. Hesher, Jaybles, roykwon, roger, SHYSTERS, Love u guys. Funny when Rollin solo how much u think of the important people in ur life. Must admit feel a bit lonely, but that's jus when I get off those two wheels. Anyways I'm gonna sit back and relax... Stay tuned for more of this easy listening...love u mom n dad hehe

San fran-thithco

Woke up to a beautiful mornin, slept a lil later than i wanted but thats all good. Today I'm gonna continue headin down the i5, then I've decided to break into california through grants pass, and ease on into the 101. I'm gonna take the coastline to san Francisco. I wouldn't mind hangin out in the city this eve, but once again, u never know, I jus might blast through... We'll see how she goes.
Well... Enjoying my last minutes of a man with a home. Just a matter of time before I'm homeless, hehe, bike is loaded up, I'm geared up gettin ready to roll out. See u on the road...

In the beginning...

In the beginning it was nothing but a dream. A dream of getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to ride my motorcycle around the world. Meeting and hangin out with super awesome cool people of all different lifestyles. Drinking and partying every night, eating at fancy restaurants..........
Of course that was just a dream...
I am a tradesman who doesnt smoke or drink anymore, just recently i quit my job workin up north, i was makin pretty good $$ but found myself unhappy in yet another routine...
Now heading out on a two wheel adventure down south. What better to clear ur mind? Home is Kelowna, British Columbia Canada. My destination is Oak Canyon Ranch, California for the BornFree motorcycle show. i dont know if ill make it there, once I get on my bike theres really no tellin where i may end up...
Stay tuned for a super awesome fun journey for shit I wanna do, and shit I may never do wooo hooo...
