Feel the heat July 31

Hey all.
Sorry I didn't post more last night.
I was pretty beat.
My arms and shoulders were killing me.
I rode from Fort Bragg CA to the Golden Gate Bridge all along Hwy 1.
What a ridiculous road that is.
Lots of pushing on the bars for that road.
Near the bridge I noticed that the bike had a bit of a wobble to it so I pulled over and sure enough I had wore the back tire to the core.
So I limped my way to the closest Harley dealer.
I'm in Cotati California at the Sonoma County Harley Davidson.
I spent last night at the Best Western just up the road.
So I'm getting both tires changed.
Get this....these are the original tires on the bike and the bike now has 22456 miles on it or 36140 kms.
The guys here are pretty blown away by this.
I'll add pics of the tire.
I'm changing the front as well.
There's still some tread left but it's cupping pretty good so time for it to go.
I had diner at the Olive Garden last night cause it was close to the motel.
My first meal there and it was pretty good.
Today after the service I will make my way to Crecent City CA and spend the night.
I'll take 101 all the way up.
Then I'll make my way tomorrow up to Depo Bay.
I would like to spend a couple nights here if I can find a nice place to stay.
I'm trying to post vids of Crazy Cloud and the bridge.
Crazy Cloud is this ridiculous cloud that appears on the west coast.
It isn't real wet or anything but it sure does have a mind of its own.

Lots of bicycles out west doing trips.
I'm considering trying this next year.
Hey Pete....want to join me?
NOT.

Update....
I'm now in Crescent City CA.
Going to spend the night here.
Someone asked about the weather.
Inland....its hot as hell.
(see pic).
If it's 103f when riding what do you think is the temperature in my pants?
Vids have been uploaded.
Turn down volume.
