Cooks Corner El Toro Road

Cook’s Corner [adrotate group=”6″] Our Sunday Ride to Silverado It is Sunday, but it has been raining on and off for over a week. We passed on our ride last week because of rain. Naturally, since we did not ride, it did not rain all that much. We decided to not risk passing up another ride only to have it not rain. Of course, that just ensured that it did rain. It was not that bad. I rode my Electra Glide and Daniel rode his Fat Boy. Daniel’s friend Edson joined us on his Yamaha. I don’t think he was …

National Veterans Mural

National Veterans Mural [adrotate group=”6″] West Los Angeles VA Center Last week, you may have seen the video I took of a mural at the VA medical center in West Los Angeles. I decided to submit it to CNN’s iReport, and they felt it was worthy enough to contact me in their vetting process to validate the video. They asked if I had additional photos, which I did, but only a couple and they were taken with my point and shoot, from my bike. Today I went back with my Canon Rebel and took some higher quality photos. [adrotate group=”1″]

Project 365 February

Project 365 [adrotate group=”6″] The month of February February 2010 is drawing to a close. I know it was only 28 days long, but it sure seemed to fly by quickly. February was a pretty slow month for me in that I did not really do much in the way of traveling. Went on a couple nice bike rides with Daniel, to Solvang and Santa Barbara. Tried a little whale watching, but they were not cooperating with me. The month ended with the closing of a pretty nice business deal, so the future looks rosy. Am looking forward to the …

The 10 Basic Steps to Whale Watching

Ah, it is that time of year again when the California Gray Whale heads to Mexico for the same reason the rest of us go there. Mating. Anyway, a popular pastime this time of year is to go whale watching. You can pay to go on a boat, but there are no guarantees. We are actually 50-50 when using a boat, but we had to go to Hawaii to have any luck. Sometimes that is just not feasible. The easiest way is to go to the beach and watch them there. For those that want to go to the seashore …

Pictures From Point Vicente

Pictures From Point Vicente [adrotate group=”6″] Sights from the California Coastline Last week I came to Point Vicente and happened to be there when a couple gray whales were frolicking in the area. Unfortunately, all I had with me was my Samsung point and shoot camera. I got one lucky shot, but you could not really tell if it was a whale or the Loch Ness Monster. I went back today with my Canon Rebel and a tripod, but as luck would have it, no whales were to be seen. No worries. There were still plenty of sights to be …

Sort This Out

Every weekend I am home, I try to take a motorcycle ride to somewhere cool. When my son joins me, we frequently end up at a winery or brewery. Many of these locations not only have a nice variety of beverages, but have very good food to go along with it. A couple weeks ago, we headed up to Solvang and discovered Sort This Out Cellars. To be honest, I do not recall the last time I had visited Solvang. I kind of remembered the windmill and European style architecture, but it had been long enough that I remembered nothing …

Headed into Santa Ynez

If I do, I will be sure to do a review. hmmm, wonder if I can slide my helmet cam by security. Just kidding guys. Anyway, Daniel is on his Fat Boy and I am on the Electra Glide. Filmed with the ContourHD helmet cam.

Valentines Ride to Pt Fermin

February 14 and t-shirt weather in the South Bay, time for my Sunday ride. I took the Night Train out and headed for the hills. I ended up riding along the Palos Verdes coastline and wound up at Walker’s Cafe. As you can see by the video, many others were out taking advantage of our great Winter weather. You can see all my videos at YouTube.com/Lbrownco Filmed with Contour HD helmet cam.
