Epic Cali Coast Tour

[roadrat]

Got the week off next week and heading up the coast on my FZ6r. I'm thinking of trailering to San Luis Obispo and riding up to Mendocino and back, sticking to US 1 as closely as possible. Anybody have experience doing this and can share any must dos or must not dos? Thanks, John

US coastal highway 1 is absolutely amazing

Bumpety bump... well that's cool if nobody has any suggestions! I will push myself to take some pics and do a little trip report. I'm thinking of getting a Go Pro but still on the edge... :thumbup:

Had an awesome trip! Trailered my FZ6r to Olema, CA just North of San Fran on the US1 and headed north - followed the 1 all the way until it cut east across the forest to the 101 and then I went up the 101 to Avenue of the Giants to see the Redwoods. Three day trip in all - 525 miles. Feel free to contact me if you do the trip I can give you some pointers! Here are a few pics:
