Hi all,
We will be arriving on the Wednesday so can help out where needed.

Gery & Coco; Ken & I will be doing a presentation on our 6 years in the Americas so please come and ask us any questions you have on South America.

Looking forward to the meeting.

Cheers Carol & Ken

Hi Carol & Ken,

That's great and were looking forward to meet you both in personal on our coming HU gathering/meet. We're also very excited to listen and watch your presentation. Please guide and help us to make one of our dream ride come true.

Ride safe,
Gery & Coco

I want to get on the plane right now! I'm really looking forward to coming across to Cambria. I've heard so much about the Meet over the past couple of years. I'm looking forward to the chance to link up with everyone and with the 40th anniversary of Ted's Jupiter's Travels ride happening - great stuff! See you in a few weeks!

I'm a HU member, HU meeting attendee, and member of the Piston & Chain motorcycle club in San Francisco.

I know it's sometimes hard to find a place to work on your bike while traveling, so I wanted to offer up a place that could be convenient for riders coming to the 2013 HU California meeting via SF, either just before or after the event.

Piston & Chain is new this year. It's a workspace/club/shop/place to hang out in downtown San Francisco that's clean, well lit, and offers:

- 2 lifts
- tools
- a tire changing machine (manual, but still handy)
- oil
- oil and tire disposal
- some wearable gear (Rukka and a couple of other high-end brands)
- accessories
- also, couches, wi-fi, and access to downtown SF

There are several world-traveling members, and the vibe is completely compatible with what I've felt at previous HU meetings.

It's near the BMW dealer (BMW San Francisco), KTM dealer (Scuderia), Desmoto, Munroe Motors, Werkstatt, and other bike shops. You can usually get a ride/lift to any of these places from other members.

If you're on your way to HU California and need a place to work on your bike, you're welcome to come to P&C.

P&C normally charges a monthly membership but will offer the space for free for HU transients if you're only using the place for a day or two. Tire and oil disposal is a nominal charge. If you need to stay for 3 days or longer, they ask that you buy 1 month of membership ($59).

They'd also be glad to accept deliveries if you want to order ahead (let me/them know something's coming).

Web site: www.pistonandchain.com
Facebook: facebook.com/pistonandchain

Address: 1285 Folsom St, San Francisco, California 94103 (Google maps works, but the photos are old)

Drop me a line if you have further questions, or just contact P&C.


Welcome to San Francisco!

Daniel
P.S. I have no financial interest in P&C other than being a member and liking the place.

I think that's an amazing offer! If I was on the road on two wheels this time around I'd be dropping in just to say hello! Line me up for a coffee next time would you. Looking forward to seeing you in Cambria anyway.

Woo Hoo! Looking forward to seeing everyone again in Cambria in just a few short weeks! :chug

I have some fun presentations planned that will surely bring some laughs

• 2up Through Western Europe - The art of living off cheese and baguettes
• I Wish I'd Known That! - Tips for traveling the Americas
• Basic Spanish for Overlanding the Americas - Dos cervezas por favor. ¿Y dónde está el baño?

I'm really really really excited to be inspired by so many other awesome travelers as well!
