The 38‑state journey in Travels with Charley has inspired many road trips, and for those looking to travel light, a motorcycle is a great option. Monterey Peninsula Power Sports can help with everything from the shortest trips to more stable touring bikes for longer journeys. They offer brands from Vespa to Can‑Am and Honda to Ducati. They can also outfit a motorcycle for the water with a wide‑selection of Sea‑Doo watercraft. If your bike (or jet ski) breaks down, their service department provides quick diagnostics and will order parts for those who prefer to tinker themselves.
