It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Those roads look really inviting .

I think the " R " would like to " play " on those roads.

Although I didn't see any HIDING places !

Come try some Northern California roads sometime.

Highway 49:


Santa Cruz mountains:


Patterson Pass:


Highway 1 south of Monterey, that's 74 miles of twisties on the warning sign:


Highway 1 further south:


And most of the time the roads are so good that I can't bring myself to stop riding to take a photo.  I'm like this the whole time:  ;D

Last time I was on 1, the "Marine Layer" was so thick I could barely see past the end of the hood.  :(

That happens sometimes.  Then we just go inland a little ways and ride there.  Something will always be good.

The coastal fog is heaviest in the summertime and lightest in the fall. [thumbsup]

Or the fukkin motorhome is using both lanes. >:(


Unless you really need to see the water there are much better roads than Highway 1/PCH.

I recognize Coal Creek Canyon (mmm Wonderview breakfast), Hwy 7 into Lyons (my all time fav) and Peak to Peak hwy.  I swear the roads in CO are more fun than most anything I've ridden out here in Norcal so far.  Only thing is that damn snow you get in the winter puts a little damper on things. 

Bick, if you come out this way to have to visit Hwy 36 from Red Bluff to Fortuna.  It's only ok  :P
We are 138

Highway 1 south of Carmel is "only" 74 miles of twisties, but they're some of the most beautiful anywhere, and wonderful to ride if you can get there early in the morning before there is much traffic.  Do you think it means anything that your curve sign starts off to the left and this one starts off to the right?
