Friday - Coastal

I stayed in my neck of the woods on Friday... hitting up Swami's Park and a local coffee shop. Swami's is a local hang out for surfers, cyclists, and anyone wanting to gaze out over the pacific ocean. What a stress buster! It sits up on a bluff and you can see for miles. I grabbed a sweet parking spot and hung out talking with several individuals about the Spyder. One surfer and I talked for a while. He had a lot of questions. Besides the fact he thought it had great style, his interest was in finding a better way to commute to & from work. He loved the fact that you don't need a motorcycle license in the state of California. And he wanted something that's better on gas than his SUV. One of his lines was, "I need to do something... get a Spyder or start putting vegetable oil in my car". After talking with a few at Swami's I headed over to the E Street Cafe. I grabbed a Latte and sat out front. Again, the Spyder was a popular attraction. Patrons walking in and out stopped by to talk with me about the roadster. I passed out info cards and answered their questions. Even the gal who cuts my hair walked by and chatted for a while.

I decided to make one more stop... Moonlight Beach's overlook. I sat there and talked with some out of towners and my old swim coach.

It was a good evening... staying local but getting exposure and educating the public about a new riding experience!
