[Shop-talk] OT - California destinations

[Eric Murray]

HIghway 1 is usually full of tourists on the weekend.  Expect slow and 
erratic driving.  It's not bad if you're checking out the scenery but if 
you want to enjoy a nice twisty road it can be frustrating.

There's a nice moderate sized motorcycle museum in Solvang:  
http://www.motosolvang.com/

I found it by accident when I was there for a bicycle ride.  My wife and 
I spent a couple hours there after the ride.

Pretty much anywhere you go on the coast will be interesting.   I've 
lived here for 50 years and I'm still finding new stuff.
