Funny post here. We live in a couple of locations in Nor Cal. best motorcycle roads around both locations in Ca. One is in Sonoma County which last week we road 850 mile over three days and included going down Highway 1, (PCH). The other location is in the Sierra Nevada's which yesterday I road 130 miles (Highway 49) of nothing but twisty mountain road. This time of year very few cars on the roads in the high Gold country. Weather has been really nice and mild.

Changed the oil in the Beakster and got out on the road yesterday and today. Not much, maybe 100 miles total but it gave me hope...

We got 3" of snow yesterday up here in NH's north country. The snow has since melted, but the roads look like a beach with all the sand they use up here :evil:

One of these days...
