Title: Just moved to the area Post by: elasticjoe on August 07, 2010, 07:52:44 PM Anyone riding in or around Monterey? Just moved from Hawaii looking for some people to ride with and learn where the good spots are around the area. Thanks in advance hope to see some of you out and about, I have an 848 Dark if you spot me.

If you feel like making the trip, we get together in San Francisco the last Thursday of the month. Title: Re: Just moved to the area Post by: velocess on August 08, 2010, 06:26:34 AM pm sent
Title: Re: Just moved to the area Post by: hihhs on August 08, 2010, 07:36:35 AM Hey, I moved here (East Bay) from Hawaii earlier this year.
I think you will be amazed at all the great rides around here. What brought you to the Mainland? Title: Re: Just moved to the area Post by: emanon on August 08, 2010, 08:10:46 AM From Monterey just get on the 1 and start going south through Big Sur, some of the best riding in the area!
35 (aka Skyline), 84, and 9 in the Santa Cruz mountains are just a little north of you and are worth the trip also; lots of motorcycles on these roads on the weekends and also some popular places to stop and meet fellow riders.

There a number of folks down that way and some of us make the trip down there once in a while to ride. It's a good halfway point.

As for moving to the mainland I came for my job, I actually got a raise to leave Hawaii and work in one of our offices here, not to mention how much more inexpensive even Monterey is compared to the island.

Yep, I am shocked every time I buy groceries. |
