All right, ladies, gentlemen, vagabuddies.

We're going to give you guys a quick breakdown of what's on the plate for today.

We have a pretty awesome section of California that we're going to be riding today.

Basically, we're starting off here in the Santa Ynez Valley, and

we're going to be riding through a couple of these little central Californian oddities.

Solvang, Buellton, and then out to Jalama beach, which is at the tip of Point Conception.

And we're gonna call it a day out by Pismo Beach.

The only cure for this is putting a helmet on and riding really fast.

So let's hop on these motorbikes and get some breakfast.

Right now, A fun little ride out of the Santa Ynez Valley.

It's literally like a little miniature Denmark here.

It's definitely one of the quirkier spots on the Central Californian coast.

And we're gonna go start off the day right with some cinnamon buns and coffee, both of which are very Danish and very necessary right now.

A lot of people think that cinnamon buns are American, actually come from Scandinavia.

And the reason they got that they use cinnamon, which is a spice that came from the Middle east and Asia, because Vikings sailed down the Black Sea and traded with Arab traders like a thousand years ago.

There are, like, big tour buses dropping off people from Australia, Korea, China.

it's funny to see this little slice of Europe here in the middle of California.

Well, we made it here to the Vintage Motorcycle Museum.

Unfortunately, it is closed, but you can peep in.

There are some nice bikes back there, and if you call them, they'll come open it for you.

It's only open on the weekends, but Monday through Friday, they will open it for you.

However, we're going to continue because we're trying to cover some ground Today, and

we don't really have time to be wasting time, so we're going forward.

We're on the Santa Rosa Road, heading out to Conception and Halama Beach.

We've passed all sorts of vineyards and ranches.

There's cattle, there's wine, and there are these beautiful open roads.

So for a motorcyclist and for a person who just generally digs nature, this is just quite the spot to be on a motorb.

Pulled over on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere and take this opportunity to refill.

For me personally, this is one of the coolest parts of California.

back in the day when they were doing the space program, they thought they were going to land the space shuttle here.

So the Air Force bought up all development rights for these ranches right here.

But they ultimately end up landing the space shuttles over in Cape Canaveral.

These ranches are not able to be developed, and it's a beautiful, untouched part of California.

Well, we've just feasted on a Jalama burger and now we're just chilling at Jalama beach, which is absolutely gorgeous and really reminds me of like Blacks beach in San Diego or Baja California.

But kind of a crazy history that we just encountered inside of the general store.

The largest U.S. navy disaster in peacetime took place here in 1923.

Seven ships were completely lost out of 14 ship armada, which ran aground right on the other side of this point.

And it's just kind of crazy to think it's such a beautiful, calm day.

You'd never really imagine that the weather can get pretty severe out here and, you know, difficult to navigate.

We're like on the point, like this little.

But there's actually a bigger disaster right here in the 1850s, a steamship crash and 415 people died.

I really do wish that we could hang out here all weekend.

We're gonna have to come back and definitely spend a couple of days here.

But we got a long way to go to our Next destination, gonna have to bunker down and hit the throttle because we got a lot of mileage to cover.

Luckily, we're taking one of the least known sections of the PCH.

Highway 1 between Lompoc, Santa Maria and there's no beach.

We got everywhere, but that's where we're sleeping.
