Californication

Before heading to California, our number one priority was to clean our bikes. i was embarrassed to be seen on my bike in public it was so dirty. We found this crazy self hand car wash thing. You just roll up in this garage, feed some money into the machine, and press the button to the corresponding service you want. Ended up spending 4 bones for my bike.
First i did a pre-rinse, next was the soap, then the foaming brush, rinse, protective coat, high pressured turtle wax, and finally the no spot rinse.
Finally clean....er...cleaner?
Right after crossing the California and Nevada border we stopped to take a look at Lake Tahoe.
A whole lot nicer than Salt Lake that's for sure.
Riding into San Francisco was a blast. With 4 lanes to play with and dodging cars every second i was loving it. My uncle was not loving it as traffic makes him a little nervous. The worst part about San Francisco is their ridiculous bridge tolls. 4 bones for a motorcycle. My uncle had to pay 6 bones because he had '3' axles including his trailer. Motorcycles shouldn't have to pay squat.

After checking into the Travel Lodge, we headed to a Thai Restaurant my uncle recommended. i got some crazy seafood curry thing it was really good. What was not so good were the pictures i took..i hate my camera.
Fuzzy picture of pad thai.
Since my uncle and dad wanted to do a bunch of stuff in San Fran, we booked a room for three nights.
