2022 Pashnit Touring on a Hayabusa
- Thread starter pashnit
- Start date
The goal is to ride Tunitas Creek, starting from the ocean, and riding back up to the top of the range. The plan is to zigzag up and down the range all day long, riding 45 different roads, slowing moving south.
Halfway up, we gotta stop in the Redwood Forest to take it all in

We also had the Reitter Brothers with us, Three brothers who live in two states who only come together for these rides. Andrew, on the right, has been riding with us for 10+ years and slowly recruited his other two brothers. Andrew even got his 77 yr old dad to come ride with us a few years back.
Paul gives the thumbs up, super awesome ride on the Hyper, just the right bike for these single-lane backroads. Interestingly, Paul lives just a few miles away, this is his backyard.
Zipping a few miles south to Alice's , a famous biker hang out, aka Four Corners
Up above the fog layer, the weather was perfect sunny warm

Alice's is known for fancy cars that drive up here from the Bay Area
Like this one
’70 Dodge Challenger R/T 426 Hemi ragtop. Gary guessed the value at $70-$300k for one of these classics. (we google'd it, he was right) It was pristine. The most expensive 1970 Dodge Challenger to sell at auction recently went for $1.4 million.

Then, as we were standing there gawking at the Challenger, this rolled in.
If you’re over the age of 40, you’ll likely get instantly excited about the mere sight of a DeLorean. John DeLorean was an executive at GM starting in the mid-1950s and managed the development of a number of vehicles throughout his career, including the Pontiac GTO (my brother had one), the Pontiac Firebird (my best bud in HS had one), Pontiac Grand Prix, Chevrolet Cosworth Vega (my mom had one). After his decades long accomplished career in the car business throughout the 1950s, 60s & 70s. DeLorean envisioned his own brand.
It took DeLorean 10 years to get the car that bore his name to market, but by February 1982, more than half of the roughly 7,000 DeLoreans produced remained unsold. The 1985 film, Back to the Future, immortalized the car and with the DeLorean was forever cemented into automobile history. Seeing one in person was a real treat as we pulled into Alice’s along Skyline. On weekends, Alice's Restaurant is a biker and car hangout up above the San Francisco Bay Area & often packed with exotics and rare cars and bikes.
The owner of the DeLorean was very accommodating and welcomed the attention as we all gushed over his car.

I love those cars(super underpowered, lol), my uncle(my Ma's brother) worked at their plant in Lisburn, Northern Ireland.
The California Coastline is full of numerous Lighthouses. One of the most accessible is the Pigeon Point Lighthouse, just south of Pescadero. There's been a chain link fence around the lighthouse for the last 20 years after a 300 lbs. chunk of brickwork fell off some years back. There's a steel cable encircling the top of the lighthouse, that seems to be holding it together. I keep waiting for the restoration to begin, but nothing has changed here for years. Built in 1871, this lighthouse used cast iron in some of its construction instead of steel. Cast Iron absorbs water, and the direst of structural assessments has claimed the lighthouse is near collapse. Last summer in 2021, $18M in funding was finally secured to restore the lighthouse and the long-term project to restore this site has started. Looking forward to actually going inside this lighthouse. The Pigeon Point Lighthouse celebrated its 150th anniversary back in November 2022.
