Nice video, now these roads are on the bucket list. Really looks a lot like the California inland mountains from Big Bear all the way to the Oregon border.

Maybe why Marsh always chooses those roads for the West Coast Rallies.

Really enjoyed that. I was thinking the same thing, that could be California. Looks like good time to me! I going to get a ride in this week end for sure.

Mike, if you are going for a ride then I hope the wind is not blowing too hard where you are. We are getting gusts that I estimate at 60+. Not fun to ride in, worse in the hills where they act like wind tunnels. If the wind doesn't get you then the trees and branches flying around might. Be safe.

Yeah Mark,

Wind is no fun. Almost got blown off the Sunrise Hwy once, and another time I got run over by a tumbleweed.
That was pretty damn rude!
Odd though that it's as calm as can be down here in San Diego.  I know you L.A. area types had a real big Santa Ana event and another is on the way. 

Stay safe,

Limited my ride to freeway runs to Fullerton to pick up a HID light kit and to some buddies house. The ride home was bit chilly last night. Mark scared me away from the canyons. Damn you Mark. After the Raiders take care of Miami today I will play with the light kit.

Mike, you bike is in really good shape, I would hate for some gust of wind to change that. Can't wait to see it with the HID kit.

My wife and I just returned today from Spain. We were not on the bike, though. We visited Malaga, Marbella, Gibraltar, Rota, and Seville. We had a GREAT time! :good2:
