I had such a great ride out and back and I think I did HW 70 to 24, then down 12 to the 247 to 18 to San Bern. Little traffic and great twisties!

However, once I got to the 10 traffic sucked! I found that if I left more than 8 feet between me and the car in front, some CA driver would dart in and then slam on his brakes! Seemed like I walked the bike for miles on the highway before I finally decided to jump off to some side streets to get to Studio City. I left CA thinking that a MoPed is better suited for LA highways than the F6!


When I coasted down, it was late afternoon and absolutely NO traffic in either direction. As you know, you can see a few curves ahead so I could drift a little wide with the speed and not worry about meeting someone coming in the other direction. The biggest thing about coasting down from the top of Beartooth is going into the switchbacks and then realizing you are coasting at 60+miles per hour and have to climb on the brakes half way into a 20 mph curve!
