IMG 4921  The contractor shows up in the morning and notices a bit of a liability has appeared. IMG 4922  The dump truck and backhoe have been moved. He's going for it! IMG 4923  Outside of the cab is riding the right side curb. Trailer is climbing up the left side curb. IMG 4924  His spotters are already starting to celebrate. IMG 4925  High fives all around. IMG 4926  Much evidence of the effort remains.
IMG 4928  Bike has not been started in 17 days and the battery is dead. Progress? IMG 4929  Yeah that is getting us nowhere. IMG 4932  This is not meant for lithium batteries so I immediately reconsider. In a move that seems wrong on several levels, I jump this bike off the old one. It works. IMG 4933  Since replacing fuses and resetting clocks on a regular basis is bonkers, I'll be a regular trickle-charger user from now on. IMG 4934  Gas on Highway 1 is not cheap. IMG 4935  Clam chowder at The Tides in Bodega Bay is pretty good.
IMG 4936  Glorious day to be out. IMG 4940  Sunny up high. Foggy down low. IMG 4941  Better without the fence. IMG 4942  Cafe Aquatica in Jenner is a beacon of civilization. Open 'til 5 now. I thought they used to close at 3. IMG 4943  Plus they have a space that's too small for cars which is super convenient for bikes. IMG 4946  Have you seen this man?
IMG 4949  Motorbike pr0n. IMG 4950  We don't see this side as much. IMG 4951  First service coming up very soon at 600 miles. After that, full revs and full power. Full fun?
