Day one of the ride.

We are finally on the road and so happy to be away from the hugevtraffic of LA. We called in at Santa Monica, it is the end of route 66.

We just have to ride some more of it. The GPS played up again today, it was on then it was't so we used the phone again. We noticed it was on later but it went off when I turned the key on. Weird!
Solvang was another spot we visited, it looked to be a German, Swiss or Dutch town with cool houses and windmills.

Further along the road we visited the former owner of the Goldwing, Ron and his good lady Sharleen. He solved my query about the wiring, the plug I wired into was for his trickle charger and it had a relay to stop the bike from starting when connected to the charger.
Grover insisted i take him to the beach, so i did.

At our stop for the night, just past Morro Bay I re-wired the plug so that it worked however although we had power to the cigaret lighter socket the Garmin still didn't go. It seems the charger is faulty or has a blown fuse in it, I will have to get another charger for it. Back to the phone tomorrow but this time mounted with power,
