KenB Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Head south before you head home Probably easier to do on my way out. How far south? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Resort Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Hell, you could go as far as San Diego. There are a few guys we know down there and a dealership. Then head North and stop by the OC dealer ... bunch of Indian guy's in OC.Make your way up PCH for the scenic ride. Cut over Sunset to cruise Hollywood then head back out to the coast via Mulholland.Hell, you may even be able to get Hasbin to take his bike outta the garage and ride with you.

KenB Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 I've done the PCH from San Diego to Port Angeles WA. I'm actually thinking of riding down to Big Sur on June 15.. nice place / good memories.

mplate Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) What's your destination? I live in Fremont. Looking at your route out, it looks fairly dreary after Durango. Whenever I was out that way, I always chose to ride through Utah's national park region. Utah 12 through Grand Staircase-Escalante is a great ride. Also, a minor deviation of your route could take you through Zion National Park which is fairly scenic. Given your chosen route, I would advise playing close attention to your fuel situation. Gas stations are few and far between where you're going. Regardless, enjoy your ride. Edited May 28, 2014 by mplate 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenB Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Only 2k in coach return! 24+ hours crammed in coach... that makes Dante's vision of Hell seem like paradise. What's your destination?

My daughter lives in Dublin. I'll drop a line here when I arrive and maybe we can get together for coffee or something. The reason I'm going the way that I am is that I like to visit odd places... and I'll be staying at a place called the Little A'li' Inn, right off the Exterrestrial Highway by Area 51. I want to get a picture of my bike next to a sign that says "Exterrestrial Highway"... yeah, strange, but what the hell. I'll also be riding through Yosemite - entering at Mono Lake - which should be a nice ride. I've got a handle on where the gas stations are out there, but I may bring along an extra gallon of gas.. just in case the only gas station around is closed.

In that case, I can recommend the Navajo Fry bread at Four Corners. Also, if you haven't been there before, I recommend taking some extra time to see the Grand Canyon from the North Rim. Much nicer than the much more heavily visited South Rim. I'll see you when you get to Dublin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not ask Hasbin to get his scoot outta the gay raz unless you are ready to ride. By the time we.had to load up and go back to work I was dizzer than a drunk duck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplate Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Have you ever ridden up to La Honda? Sure, many times. Of course, Kesey and his Merry Pranksters are long gone but the ride to San Gregorio is beautiful and you can still get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant. If you're planning to head down to Big Sur, 84 through La Honda is a great way to get to Highway 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
