First Cruise on the Whizzer!!
Here are some pics to go with this post (these were taken with my iPhone) (see the attached below).
Okay, seems like it has been forever between buying my bike and going for my first cruise (other than testing her out at Mike's when I bought it). Finally got her out today and drove about 16 miles (trust me, I wanted to do more, but I was so excited to get her going I thought that maybe I had left the front door open, so I came back home to check ... LOL). anyway, I drove up and down the Great Highway at Ocean Beach (technically, the lower great highway) and through a good part of Golden Gate Park here in SF (this is where I live, out where the park and the ocean meet). Dayum, it's a great freakin' day today!! I had no problem and the traffic was fairly heavy for out here (it is a holiday and it is nice out here, so ... all the "tourists" to my neighborhood come out to use the beach). Ocean Beach was a mad house. The parking lots were full and a mess and I just cruised on through and pulled up to the ocean walkway and parked. Easy to get out too. Only issue I had was some jerk who passed me when I was going 25 in a 25 zone. I mean ... some people just don't want to be around certain vehicles and I understand that (I have an old Chevy Van and people are the same way with that), but still ... I was going the speed limit. It was more dangerous for him to pass me (against a double yellow line, I might add) than to follow me going the speed limit. But I digress ...
Anyway, the whizzer rides like a dream and everywhere I went people were happy to see her. I even got thumbs up from the spandex crowd. At the beach and the little coffee shop I went to, everyone had to know about my bike, and people even took pics.
Note to you Whizzer dealers: I know you can't afford the real estate, but there are no Whizzer dealers in SF or Berkeley. I'm just saying ... there's a market. Everyone wanted to know how much it cost and the reactions ranged from "that cheap?" to "that much?"
