You can bet they&#8217;re looking for some great publicity to come out of this and I have to tell you, unless they flub it pretty badly, which I don&#8217;t expect them to do, they&#8217;ll be getting plenty of that from me. I&#8217;ll be writing about the ride here, on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/motorcycle-in-national\/ken-bingenheimer\" target=\"_blank\">Examiner.com<\/a>, and on <a href=\"http:\/\/rumbum.com\/search\/authors\/Ken%20Bingenheimer\" target=\"_blank\">RumBum.com<\/a>, so with me they&#8217;re getting three birds with one stone.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be flying into Los Angeles on Oct. 14 to get acquainted and set up, then on Oct. 15 we&#8217;ll take off on a four-day ride to San Francisco. Considering that you can do that trip in one day, that&#8217;s a pretty good indication that this is going to be a leisurely trip with &#8220;touring&#8221; being the operative word. We&#8217;ll visit the wine country, the Hearst Castle, Yosemite, and more. And yeah, you bet, I&#8217;m itching to go.<\/p>\n<p>So this is just a teaser. I&#8217;ll have a LOT more to tell you once we get underway.
