the Test Ride
In San Francisco I have a good loop from Downtown and if I break it theres buses with racks
In the East Bay I have an insane well paved very fast loop that is poorly lit and inhabited by the
worst car drivers in America and silent buses travelling Mach !. My first SS conversion on a light Bianca
found under a parked car when wet leaves.......
When you get it right ,everything is synced, riding position, bars, levers all gel and you know you figure
out which one of the stable is gonna have to go to make room for it.

Mods - this needs a move to the Road Forum. Maybe they can make an Addiction thread about SF, traveling Mach !, wet leaves, everything is synced.

...I have visited San Francisco many times over the years I've lived here. On none of those occasions was everything synced....not once.
The Chinese restaurant food is very good, though, and the vistas from the various high points in the city are spectacular. I manage to have a good time anyway.
