duckie Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 After yesterdays ride, I came to firmly believe that California has the best motorcycle roads in the country. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angrygirafe Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Just spent a couple days in So Cal visiting the wife’s family. I was twitching looking at all the places I used to ride around there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duckie Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 It is the amount and types of roads that sets California apart from other states for motorcycle riding. Road such as: Highway 1 41 140 120 4 108 89 70 36 96 3 88 25 peachy page mill 84 9 Stage road pescodaro gazo creek 130 Mines valley and many more.

johnmark101 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 For me the best part would be not so much the amount of good roads, but the extended riding season!! I live not too far from the Appalachian mountains where there are lots of fantastic roads but winter sucks around here. 3 1 There is nothing like spending a day riding with friends in the grip of a shared obsession.

joe72t Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I've only been riding for about 5 years now. I'm 58 so I have a lot of catching up to do. One of the main reasons to start riding was to be able to take some long trips and enjoy the wonderful roads we have in North America. I live in Ontario but would love to ride through Ca and many other states when allowable. Patience I guess. Any map routes people can share would be awesome! Be well and safe out there.

WAY too many roads to list but as a start, ANYTHING from the Rocky Mountain range out to the Pacific Ocean... Unbelievably diverse terrain, from mountain pass highways well over 2 miles ASL to twisty roads through rocky canyons, deserts to rain forests and the entire pacific coast, not to mention North of the Canadian border up to the Arctic Ocean. Better stock up on tires. 😎 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member keithu Posted May 7, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted May 7, 2021 Yep, I lived in California for almost eight years when I was in the Navy and the riding there is truly the best. I love the riding in Oregon, too, but when I daydream about the perfect riding day my mind frequently wanders to the SoCal canyons or Sierra Nevada passes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have probably lived in the bay area at some time. Some of the roads listed are local gems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
