Ducati Multistrada Rental
Started the day 9:30AM at Dubbelju, 689A Bryant Street, San Francisco, CA, great motorcycle rental place. Rented a Ducati, Multistrada 1000, beautiful bike. $214 for the day, with insurance, etc.
Rode to Caldecott Tunnel, then to Fish Ranch Road, then to Lake Anza, still fogged in. Had brought my bathing suit but too cold to go swimming. Riding back to Skyline Blvd, the left hand mirror fell off, dangling by cable, called rental shop and went to Berkeley Performance and they took the mirror off and I went back to the Dubbeliu for another bike. Didn't want to ride without a mirror or a turn signal. Got a Suzuki SV650, very different bike.
Rode back to Tunnel Road and along Skyline Blvd. then to:
Hong Kong BBQ Restaurant
20918 Redwood Road, Castro Valley, CA 94546
Lunch of BBQ Pork, rode back to Pinehurst Road, maybe my favorite Road anywhere. BAck along Skyline and back to San Francisco.

Suzuki SV650
Ergonomics suck, knees to my chest, seat like a board, throttle on or off, engine like two washers in a tin can, but still it handles better than my K75S.
