Hi Cargill and Welcome to the Madhouse Please tell us a bit about your motorbikes and riding history and perhaps update your forum profile (link at the top) to include an approximate location (city/state is enough) the information will then appear alongside your posts and as there are loads of VFR owners in California you may find someone living nearby to meet up with and explore PCH. Also if you need help with your VFR then you may find someone willing to swing by and offer advice or pick up a wrench - especially if you have a well stocked beer fridge! What you will soon realise is that the folks on here really like photos. So if you do not wish to have people raggin on you, you really should take a photo or two of your VFR and post them up in this thread. It is simple - click the "upload a file" link and follow the prompts to select and upload images from your computer. The "more options" link allows you to decide whether your images appear inside the post or as a thumbnail leading to a separate image file. In the meantime Ride Safe ATGATT SkiMad
