Title: Heading Back East from S Francisco
Post by: Slash5er on October 02, 2012, 12:26:55 PM

After running US 2 across the country from east to west and finishing in Everett, WA rather ignominiously in front of Bobby's Hawaaian Restaurant & Coconut Lounge...not even a commemorative sign...I started south on the coast highway. Shipped my riding buddy home after his get-off behind Mt. St. Helens and have been enjoying Hwy 1. One of the world's GREAT motorcycle roads!

Heading east later today after getting a new tire in SF. Going through Yosemite (hope there's no snow in the pass) and then down to Bishop, CA. Probably follow Rte 6 back east. Willing to go out of my way for good craftbrew or regional food. Any suggestions for barbecue out there in the southern great plains?

Thanks.

K.C. Engineering is a good place to get a tire in SF.

Head east on 50, then 89.....

In Bishop, CA?  Cowboys, rednecks, and rock climbers.
A bed and a shower and a visit with #2 son.

"A bed and a shower and a visit with #2 son."

So, you get a ride on a brick, a bed, a shower and time with a loved one. It does not get any better than that.

You got it. Reasonable Mexican food too!
In Vegas tonight and I'll be glad to get outta here.
Probably Flagstaff tomorrow and then up toward Colorado somehow.

Wish I had seen this earlier .... I could have helped you out on the tire (and a good brewery is a nice half hour mountain ride away).

You said Route 6, then Southern Plains, did you mean Route 66?

This may help with finding god beer:
