It’s great being here in Santa Barbara, I arrived yesterday, traveling down Highway 101 from San Francisco through Morgan Hill, Salinas, San Luis Obispo (SLO), and to Santa Barbara. I was going to meet up with the gang in Ventura but a Highway accident clogged the freeway so drastically that I just turned off and found a motel immediately, a happy accident. The Harbor House Inn, a tiny motel with a courtyard where my Ural is parked right outside the door next to a patio where there’s a table with an umbrella under a palm tree, a block from the BEACH!!! I took one of their push bikes for a long ride along the shore. What a welcome change from foggy San Francisco in the summer! Now I’m off to meet the gang here in Santa Barbara, where they’ll break for lunch and we ride together up to Solvang and then SLO for the Mods-n-Rockers event tonight. Hope to see you there!

Carla, your story about parking at the motel reminded me of one of the worse days of my life. many years ago I traveled to City of Industry, for work and took my brand spanking new blue electra glide, with me, so I’d have something to do on the weekends, well one morning I went out to get on and saw nothing but a flat cover lying on the ground, I was in such shock that I actually picked the cover up and looked under, just in case. Please don’t take your eyes off your Ural, for a minute, in fact tie a string to the wheel when you sleep. ps, never saw my electra glide in blue again.
