i have to do that ride heard good things about it and i'm near the area so no excuse for me, heard 33 is a great road.

i have run 91-87 in my bike the 620, what i noticed is that with 91 the engine sounds and feels "slightly" smoother below 4000 rpm than when i run 87.

when i run 87 which is about 99% of the time its fine for commuting and such, not racing or too agressive riding by any means and for me it works fine and when i had it in for a service everything is fine.

but when i do a tank of 91 it does "seem" to be a little smoother when i'm at lower rpm at parking lot speeds, notice no difference cruising at 6000rpm and 70mph or so.

that's a great run. i do it all the time but i take the 166 going east where there's no construction.

i take 126 west (from the 5), cut up 150N for a bit to Ojai. then connect to the 33 north. once it get to 166 i hang a right which is heading east and in about 2 or 3 miles i hang a right onto "Cerro Noroeste Rd" which is an amazing desolate twisty road.
stay on that road and it eventually becomes into "Mt Portrero Hwy"/ "Cuddy Valley Rd". when you get to the end, make a slight left onto "Frazier mountain pk rd". that will take you bak to the 5 near Gorman and there will be gas as well.

make sure to fill up in Ojai before you hit the 33 because there will not be any gas for about 107 mi. this loop is about 210 mi.
the middle section from 150/33/cerro/cuddy is about 100 mi of twisties and canyons and desert  [moto]
