Search for:Death Valley, California and Nevada » Jul/Aug '10
The roads between Nevada’s Amargosa Desert and California’s Panamint Valley are as much about big sky and land as they are a connection to the area’s historic past. It’s a place where myth meets reality and the remnants of that union–abandoned mining camps, sagging cabins, collapsed mine shafts, and rusted headworks–are scattered across...

Search for:Southern California - Reader Ride » May/Jun '10
Where else could one ride less than 200 miles and experience the Pacific Ocean, the mountains, and the desert, but in Southern California? Take into account that it’s virtually always sunny, rains less than 45 days a year, and temperatures generally hover between 60F – 85F. Throw in some great pavement and challenging curves – some of which rival...

Search for:Northern California Wine Country » Mar/Apr '10
It’s a happy coincidence: the same undulating topography that makes Northern California’s hill country so perfect for growing grapes has also challenged transportation engineers to create some classic motorcycling roads. So what better way to find a bit of heaven on earth than to sample the hills and valleys during the day, and a bit of the Cabernet...
The Central Sierra Nevada and Yosemite » Nov/Dec '09
In 1986, CBS created a mini-series that parodied the overwrought primetime soap-opera melodramas of the decade (“Dallas”, “Dynasty”, “Falcon Crest”). In this series, titled “Fresno”, the California city was lampooned for its civic pride, especially its status as the 64th largest city in the US and the distinction of being the “Raisin...
Ashland Oregon - Shamrock Tour® » Sept/Oct '09
On November 27, 1941, travelers on US Highway 99 south of Yreka, Caifornia were astonished to find a band of men blocking the road and waving hunting rifles. They handed out a Proclamation of Independence, which informed one and all that the State of Jefferson was in “patriotic rebellion against the States of California and Oregon” and would continue...
Eastern California » Jul/Aug '09
When I first learned to ride a motorcycle over a year ago, there were two places I wanted to go: Alaska and Saline Valley, a long, remote desert basin on the west side of Death Valley. Within the first year of learning how to ride, I did both....
Paso Robles Shamrock Tour® » May/Jun '09
Known for its great variety of country roads, hillside vineyards, valley vistas and ocean bluffs, California’s central coast has long been a favorite locale for photo shoots. And for motorcyclists, the town of Paso Robles is a perfect base from which to launch a shamrock tour of this beautiful area....
California’s Highway 1 » Mar/Apr '09
It’s July and I’m in Redding, California. I have to return my borrowed SV650S to American Suzuki in Los Angeles. I could strafe Interstate 5 through the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys under the blistering summer sun and get there in a day. Or I could add a day to my trip and savor the serpentine bends and ocean breezes of California’s coast...
Southern California Sojourn » Mar/Apr '09
Thanks to its mild climate, Los Angeles, California offers great riding almost every day of the year. And with its endless suburban sprawl and a plethora of interesting things to do and places to see, LA is a haven for motorcycle and scooter riders. We decided to take a day ride along the beach on our Piaggio BV250 test scooter and took in four great...
