Z3n: Jul 21, 2007; I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

Also vouch for dubbleju.

I was just on Skaggs Springs road yesterday, you should do that loop. Golden Gate -> 1N to Stewart's Point, right on Skaggs Springs to Healdsburg then hop on the 101S to River Road/Highway 116, which hits 1 again, take 1S to the Panoramic Highway for variety, and then back to home.

Edit: Note that Skaggs Springs is every type of road in one road.

Pop quiz hotshots...

If one were to transplant to the bay area, and one was an avid motorsickle-ist and wanted to have such things like a garage (or at least be able to rent one nearby), what is the best spot in the region for that? I know that will depend on a million factors but say just because it's a typical case it should not be totally ghetto or out in the sticks and would be commutable to SF by moto reasonably.

Bonus: do bay area vs southern california vs ...?

East Bay/North Bay, depending on what your job situation is. If you're north bay, you're really close to sonoma/thunderhill/nice north bay offroad, but your commute will probably be a bit balls. Eastbay is great if you need reasonably affordable housing, and as long as you're reasonably close to a freeway you'll be fine (24 is the best commute into the city freeway, IMO, but prices are higher around that freeway). SF is good if you're going moto only and work a job that pays enough for 3k a month rent + moto storage fees.

Sonora Pass

You're gonna love this, I guarantee it. One of my best motorcycle memories is chasing daylight down the Sonora Pass during a 1 day bomb back from SLC on a fly and ride for a Speed Triple.

I managed to slip between the traffic on a visit from Oaktown to Boulder Creek. Also strapped a massive 34 inch monitor to my passenger seat and chased down other riders on skyline on the way home. :v:

You can loop between 1 and 101 basically forever on beautiful roads through there. If she's interested in the scenic route, boy could I build a route for her.
