So this is likely to be the highlight of the whole trip!
I stopped at a hotel on the beach to see what their room rate was(too rich for me) and I come out of the lobby and and a guy in a wheel chair is looking at my bike. His wife is standing beside him...he asks "inline six"? I say "no, it's only a four"
he says he "really likes the bike"... Then his wife hands me a business card...on it it says Paul Ritter...AMA Superbike Championship contender 1977-79
on the other side it has a pic of the cover of the book "Racing the Gods" a Ducati Superbike racer's autobiography.
i say "hey I had just been looking to order that book"... The woman says.." Well this is him" and she points to the man in the wheelchair. Lol...I couldn't believe it!
We talked for 20 minutes about bikes. I told him about my old gs bikes... He talked about Racing Wes Cooley...then he whips out a cell phone with a pic of Wes leading him in a race. His wife showed me a pic of there son and he was sr
tanding beside the front of his bike... She says "I think it's a gs" I told her it was an 82 gs1100e....Paul says "you are a motorcyclist "... Lol...I asked them id
f they had any books with them and Paul sent his wife to there room to get the only copy they had with them....I promptly purchased it and said " of course I would like you to sign it"... Which he did. Then his wife took this pic...she also took one with her own camera and asked me if it was "alright to use on Paul's Facebook page and blog" lol...are you freaking kidding me?!?!

Racing the Gods is a great book.
I read it last year and have loaned it to a number of people who all raved about it.
Trevor, a very nice bonus for you on your trip.

You are a people magnet for sure, Trevor.
Looks like a good book.

Amazing story Trevor, the s*#t that happens on a road trip!!
So cool about the chance meeting, and yet another anecdote about how cycles bring people together. Safe travels my friend.
Hi guys,
stayed in Fort Bragg last night. Did 738kms yesterday, not as many as I planned but had a great day. Didn't meet any famous racers yesterday but met to guys riding from San Diego we went out and had too many beers and a ton of laughs.
Having a bit to eat out point arena right now. Riding the coast all day to San Francisco I'm about 120 miles from there now.
Plan is to make it to Cambria today. Then it Death Valley via 46 then 178 and on to Vegas for dinner.
smiling all the way!
ill post pics tonight.
thanks for thinking about me on the road guys, I really appreciate that. And next time Charlie, thanks for the offer.
cheers,
trevor

Pics... What an amazing ride today. Stuck mostly on the coast. Very little traffic. Didn't get as far as I wanted...too much to look at. Yesterday my average moving speed was 90km but today it was 80kms.
if you have every thought about doing this ride all I can say is don't wait!
im in Seaside Ca tonight. Glad I stopped here or I wouldn't have Laguna Seca
No one there.... Gates open and I was able to get right up and close to the track!
awesme day but I think i have sensory over load.
oh and I went through San Francisco today... Golden gate.... And I even did a bunch of lane splitting and got it on my GoPro too.
first pic is just outside Fort Bragg this morning..
yesterdays avenue of a the Giants...

I forgot to mention...yesterday I was following a mustang near Half Moon Bay and hew was obviously drunk... Al over the road, speeding up slowing down and nearly side swiped a guy. Called 911 from my sena and stayed on the phone with them until a cop came flying up behind me 15 min later. Crazy!
