Easy. Just watch out for vados south of SF. There is also a turn (or two) that always catches me by surprise.

There was a Goldwing with a flat, north of SF. I stopped to see what was happening; they'd engaged a furniture moving truck to come and put down his
ramp so the bike could be rolled aboard. Presumably he couldn't repair his tire by himself.

No problem, just came that way two weeks ago. Watch the corners and the pot holes, don't be in a hurry. Good idea to take some plugs and a small
compressor for the flats...

I used to think that "touring bike" was something under 40 lbs unloaded weight ...
no ramp is needed...

good counsel. i have ridden that section many times, and every single time i find i have hit at least one of those vados( dips in the road) too fast
and got some unexpected air. check out the scrapes in the asphalt as you pass through. have a fun ride.
