through cold and cloudy California Highway 1 - April 2015

I needed to visit San Francisco for a business reason, but taking such a long trip from Europe for just one day would be crazy, so I decided to add 3 more days, rent a bike and finally cross California Highway 1 off my Bucket List.

So I picked Harley Davidson Sportster 1200 (back at home I am riding something completely different (F800GS), but I thought "hey, when riding on California hgw 1, you need to do it on a proper American bike, right?") and this bike was a part of this adventure... for a moment I was sure that the gearbox is broken, but then I was told that's the "beauty" of it

My route was rather simple - from San Francisco through Half Moon Bay, Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur down to Morro Bay.

Weather was a surprise too - it was cold as hell. I was putting almost all I had on me to stay warm. California, man.
... but I liked it anyway. I liked it a lot. Here's a little video I took, enjoy:

Riding F800GS feels now like flying in the air

It looks cold but the views likely made you forget the chill
Nice video thanks for sharing it and enjoy your west coast trip.
