y'all do have some great riding in cali!Yeppers! The same rules apply here in Calli's twisties. We have steep grades on the mountain roads. Even the desert roads weave and bobble between the washes and hills.
IDK if you guys ever view the Relive links that i post. But that does a fair job of showing the curves. Although, it is not replayed at actual speed. We have some good twisties! Just sayin'
Heck CA-74 Ortega Highway is right in my backyard. Roy can attest to this. The only straight part is through town and again for a short stretch going through the campground and village at the top. (referring to the section between I-5 and I-15. Long winding curves down on the west (I-15) side. This side is Z's n W's.
Rim of the World is both Lisa and my favorite! It runs along the rim of the mountain then drops into the lakes area. Eventually winding up at Big Bear Lake from I-15.

That's about all this state is good for! Ca does treat the bikes well.
Except for the exhaust and noise regulations.
That said, i gladly give up the loud exhaust for the ability to split lanes!
That's a lifesaver on a crowded freeway!
i run my ultras with wide open cans. i love the sound. on one trip i stayed with my cousin up on 20th street in frisco and ran around down town a bunch. in five trips to cali coming in at semi valley and heading out at sacramento i was never stopped for noise. the kansas tag might have been the reason. i agree cali is a very mc friendly state. cept for the price of gas.That's about all this state is good for!

Cops never messed with me over it.
I'm seriously considering ordering pipes and having them shipped to my sons house. Then take a ride there to "fix" the bike. I have been holding off because my buddy has the chrome pipes that I want. He keeps hinting about buying new black ones, to change the look of his bike. If he really wants to go with this idea, we make make it a group ride to my sons place! There are way around Numbnutz's socialism. At least some!Mid 90s, I ran home made UK tags at the time too.
I got jerked around by the PO when i bought my bike. My fault for not doing a better inspection...
But when i agreed to purchase the bike it had Reinhardt X full exhaust on it. When i picked up the bike 2 weeks later, it had the stock exhaust. Dummy me, Didn't notice!
Man, it's still only almost March. Three months to go is a long time.
I'm still debating how to get in. Last year I left on Wednesday and stayed in Little Rock then took the Pig Trail in on Thursday. Currently, I'm thinking about taking 65 in and going all the way to Harrison on Wednesday so I can be there to ride in with everyone to Twin Peaks if you guys are meeting at the hotel first. Last year I was pulling into the Conoco for gas as everyone was headed off. Plus, gives me a different way of coming in. I've taken 64/65 before headed out and it's pretty scenic in parts too, between Harrison and Conway, if I am remembering right.

that was a fun ride larry! man reunion is coming soon. see ya there!
yes scotty it officially stars on friday and goes till sunday. most arrive on friday and leave on sunday. we always go down on thursday which you can do with us and leave saturday or sunday, whatever fits with your plans. if you overnight and ride down with us you would need to arrive here at the cabin on wednesday or earlier. again whatever fits your schedule. i will leave on sunday so will be home sunday evening if you have time to stop and rest overnight or more on your return trip of course you are welcome. sounds great. we hope you can fit us in to your plan!Just talked with the Mrs about this... She's for sure entertaining the idea! (showed her the video that @Kainam posted, that helped to motivate her.
I just looked on the map, it's 2 1/2 hours from my Daughters home in Clarksville!
The Reunion starts on June 3rd and goes till??
Gotta be back here before June 24th. (Her brother's 2nd wedding)
3 days travel each way @ 533 miles per day, doable??
Yeah, there's some cheap chain hotels (good likelihood of night auditor for late-night check-in) off-interstate right at I-40/I-49, just an hour south of TP, about same amount of time to get from my house to Alma as it is to get to Harrison too.
And with checkouts usually around 11:00, plenty of time to be in Rogers by noon.
