The Perfect Guest's Ride Report
Lisa wrote a ride report about the Pismo Gypsy Tour to go with
the i pics above:
"The 2015 SFMC/AMA District 36 Gypsy Tour was a fun success with a good
turnout (40+) to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the Pismo Beach
Motorcycle Classic and the 111th anniversary of the SFMC. Great weather,
clear, not cold. A bit on the warm side through parts, but no complaints
here.
En route, we were joined by OMC. Santa Bob, who journeyed to PB on his own
the day before, spotted our group from the opposite side of the freeway on
his return ride while we were on our 20-mile 65mph police "courtesy" escort.
Members from Pasadena, San Francisco, Sacramento, Oakland, San Jose and
Stockton were in abundance and could be seen crossing paths all over town
with cheerful greetings. Most stayed at the temporarily towelless
unapologetic Motel 6 of the Broken Washing Machine (possibly fated to be
one of those humorous stories to go down in infamy). Others from Stockton
and San Francisco stayed at The Quality Inn of the Large Waterfall Hot Tub
and No Mishaps.
Riders, Passengers and Guests alike met up at Guiseppe's where much pasta
and meat, and drinks were enjoyed and consumed in abundance. In other news,
some wine was spilled, followed by a table mix up which could have been
handled with a bit more diplomacy by the management, with an ending of some
potential patrons heading over to Scottie's for their comestibles and
libations.
After dinner, a walk around town or perhaps along the beach and pier were
in order, along with drinks and for some, gelato or ice cream, including
one called Motor Oil, which was actually dark chocolate with Kahlua.
Later, a good number met up poolside at the Motel 6, exchanging ride,
dinner and towel stories accompanied by drinks and camaradarie. And did I
mention drinks?
During our poolside social, a ruckus erupted, the sheriff was called and an
apology extended by an outside party on the second floor. Thankful for no
serious consequences. Parties returned to respective poolside chairs for
some calming, therapeutic drinks.
In the morning, CCMC, having a long if not the longest return ride, got up
bright and early (Hello, Sunshine!) had breakfast at Huckleberry's and
headed home. Second shift, consisting of many SFMC and PMC members and
Guests, met at 9am, enjoyed good food and company and parted ways a bit
after 10am.
Kevin, Stephanie, Ben, Amad, Amber and friends got together at Penny's for
breakfast and did some enjoyable backroads and twisties on their return
ride.
Kalle, Lisa, Caroline and Mole chose Highway 1 based on temperature, and
arrived at Alice's for fuel and pulled in just as Special was riding in.
Time for hello and back on the road.
All returned safe and accounted for. Until next time, happy trails to all."
That's to Lisa, The Perfect Guest, for the write up!
