Famous motorcycle roads in USA

[TOMCAT]

I can hardly wait to seek out the 'famous roads" east of the Miss.

Years ago I was sucking a brew in a small outta the way town pub with with a local oldtimer (about my current age) that kinda looked like TC.

I was riding sport bike back then and inquiring of the gent about where one might find some "real twisties".

The bearded, sun beaten wrinkled gent told me of a road called California 36 that runs between Fortuna and Red Bluff. I reiterated to him that I really wanted "real twisties", not just those minor curvy roads that old geezers find uncomfortable to drive a car on.

What the old gent said to me . . .
"Son, ride THIS road! You will run your battery dead just trying to stop for your own **** taillight!"

I have never forgotten that wise ol' gent or what he said to me.
THAT'S A FAMOUS ROAD !!!
:bch:

Bearded , sun-beaten wrinkled gent .. thanks for the intravenous shot of self esteem. I owe you one Tiger ..

Took the 120 through Yosemite last year, it was awesome. Stayed in Mammoth Lakes before we crossed through to San Francisco.

Check out Skyway Road from Chico, through Paradise and Magalia, on up to Stirling, CA. Gold rush country... awesome scenery and bodacious twisties through the majestic Sierra Nevada. Mtns!
