Famous motorcycle roads in USA

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 !!!

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

That indeed is a fun ride. I did it last summer coming back from Death Valley. Wen from Mono Lake but cut up north through Sonora, Angels Camp, Jackson Sutter Creek . . .
Great riding country!
