Honda PCX 0n Lombard St - ever been there!?
« on: May 16, 2024, 06:24:10 PM »
Screen-shot from instagram of a white Honda PCX descending the famous Lombard street in San Francisco.

A crazy street in 'Frisco. Super steep - posted @ 5MPH, One-way only - down. It is said that on some days this street will see over 15,000 cars traversing it. (tourists)
I walked up it once in 1967. (just once - bucket list) And braked down it in my '71 Beetle once in 1973.

Some of the residents actually have parking spaces and a garage or two.

* at the very bottom of the street, in the 1st photo, is a 1970's VW Bus. I suspect that there are tour companies which feature a guided ride in a Hippie bus through the sites in the city.

I was correct....

I have driven on Lombard St. many times and that is my favorite part, The road leads to the Golden gate bridge up top and to the Coit tower(fire hose nozzle below)

You can see why it’s such a tourist honey trap. Sorry to say I missed it on my one trip to SF.
Regards & ride safe,
