Pismo....Beach....
Hmmm, that sand will destroy a bike..... IMHO..I know lots of guys ride there, and they even ran a WORCS Events there, but I am not a fan, but that is my .02!
The salt air, salt water in the sand, is super, super fine and will make it's way into
everything, bearings, AIRFILTER, Airbox, chain, swingarm linkage, just to name a few. Plan on tossing that airfilter when your done
A trip to that area would not be complete with out checking out this place.

Back in my younger years, when my family used to go to Pismo Beach. We used to drill a small hole in the fender the size of the flag stud, near the seat base. Put a big flat washer on the top of the fender and one bottom side, tighten it up, then trim the stud to ensure no contact w/ the rear time.
