motorcycle touring

Heard on a radio show on hazards.

"San Francisco is in the center of some of the most beautiful
motorcycle touring in the world."

Having lived there, I must admit it is beautiful, but I don't think I
would want to drive a bike too far west of San Francisco.

I would think that driving any manual-shift vehicle in SF would get real old
real fast.

Think carefully about "west of San Francisco".

Obviously they didn't mean "center" in a geographical way.

With that said, IME the only condition where manual transmission is a
bit of work is in multi-lane stop-and-go traffic, were you need to keep
a close distance to the vehicle in front, or else someone will cut
ahead. On a motorcycle you don't need to worry about that, since you're
above it all, lane splitting.

Shortly after I got there, I was creeping up the hill by the St Mark
when my backrest broke, leaving me to hold muyswlf up by pulloing on
the wheel.
My car had a HD clutch and T-10 tranny fourspeed.
Thus, I had to hold the car in place withy the parking brake, whichb
didn't wok due to Boston rust, si needed the right foot. The
accelerator also needed the right foot. and the keft was for the HD
cluych.
It was fun going upo that hill as each cars stopped at the top for the
stop sign/

I soon got a more suitable car.

You never had a nasty kid open his door in front of you? I never felt comfy
splitting unless there was lots of room, everybody was stopped, and the back
seats were empty. Didn't happen all that often.

Hmm, if the kid was that nasty, you could always say to him or her "how
cute, how would you like to feel the nice shiny exhaust pipe on my
motorcycle"
