Topic: Seattle Wa To Orange County Ca

[Antihero]

My version of motorcycle diaries…

So tomorrow I leave for Seattle to pick up a 1978 Honda CB750K  year old that I have wanted for a while, and ride it back home 1100 miles! I’ll be flying into Seattle tomorrow morning and staying the say in rest of the day then riding out early Thursday morning to Portland where I'll also stay a day, then San Francisco and home. I want to check out all the sights and sounds along the way. Also the stops will help to break up the trip a little because that long in the saddle seems daunting. I plan on doing as much touristy stuff as possibly so if there is anything you guys recommend me checking out let me know or if anyone is along the way and wants to ride I would love to. I’ve never been to Wa or Or so anything on my way would be worth seeing, and I'm not too familiar with SF but Ill probably check out the golden gate, fisherman's warf, pier 39, etc.

I've never been on this long of a ride and will be solo, so if there is anything you guys can recommend I bring let me know so I can make sure I do before I head out.

Welcome to the Forum.

A solo virgin on a 78K down the Coast.     Sweet!  Been there done that
I'm sure some of the Seattle and Portland crowd will be along shortly. You might even find a bed!
You might want to type in your cell# on here since a lot of those NW WA and OR people go to bed early and may not see this in time

Good luck!! You are going to have a great time - great road on a 750!

Take the basic tools 17, 14, 12, 10, 8mm wrenches, Philips screwdriver, some electrical tape and cable ties. Lube the chain at some point and check the oil/air filter.

good luck!
