Miramar Air Show & Carlsbad

I headed down to the Miramar Air Show. The traffic was okay until I hit Miramar Road. Everyone seemed to be going to the show. I receive a lot of attention driving on base from other drivers and Marines. The parking situation did not work in my favor. I parked with some other motorcycles but there was no foot traffic in my parking area. Everyone parked and seemed to disperse. There was no place to congregate and no stream of foot traffic. I stayed for a while and talked with some other motorcycle riders and Marines but decided to call an audible and head up to Carlsbad for their Octoberfest.

One my way into Carlsbad I was actually flagged down by another car who was asking about the Spyder. It was a first! They were yelling out questions. I signaled them to pull over and we could talk. It was a nice couple that apparently had been following me for a while. The women was highly interested in getting a Spyder. She wanted something to get to work on and couldn't believe that you don't need a motorcycle license in California. I answered their questions and gave them an info card. I told them were the closest dealer was and they said that was their next stop.

Next I hit the Carlsbad Octoberfest. There was a couple hundred people there. I parked right in front of a police car. As I strolled around the grounds I saw a few guys check out the Spyder. I headed back and spoke with some and then called it a day.
