The "Big Sur"

WOW ... WOW ! That's all I kept saying while riding the "Big Sur" area of California's Pacific Coast Highway.
Earlier this week, Josey and I rented a 2008 Honda Goldwing and cruised the coastline from Santa Monica to Monterey. There are many 25 mph curves and several switch-backs, but the scenery was 'breath-taking'. In a few places the road is narrow with no shoulder. And the drop is about 300 ft. straight down to the ocean. This ride is a serious challenge of riding skills.

It was the longest ride we have ever done - about 350 miles each direction. We rode all day long to reach Monterey. And then a full day's ride back. Though our 'backsides' got sore (I know, TMI), THIS RIDE WAS AWESOME ! I 'highly' recommend it for the "bucket list" of every motorcyclist.

RIDE ON!
