Motorcycle Alabama

Thanks @klaviator those are a few of the roads that looked interesting when I was looking at them on the map. I'll probably save Hwy 1 for after Johnny's meetings. I think he is planning to cover parts of it.

I appreciate your input.

If anyone has recommendations for me on a local motel maybe in the Pasadena area or rides in the hills, I'll have 5 days to fill while Johnny is in meetings. @klaviator I hope you might know the area.

I don't think I have ever been to Pasadena but I have ridden some of the roads in the area.  Just research motels online but my guess is you will find better deals as you get farther away from LA. 

There are some great roads to ride in the area.  The Angeles Crest HWY (2) is right by Pasadena as are several other roads such as 39 and the Angeles Forest HWY.  18 and 38 to Big Bear Lake are a great ride.

If it was me I'd consider not staying in Pasadena the whole time but taking a road trip up to the Sierras or maybe up the coast although I don't think HWY 1 is open all the way between Morro Bay and Monterrey.

I'll be riding out to Long Beach California in June this year. I plan to leave N. Alabama on June 17th and return on July 4th. I hope to ride some of the western half of Route 66, visit some of the National Parks, and ride some of the PCH. I will arrive in Long Beach on the 21st for meetings and resume travels on the 26th.

I'm open to suggestions for places to see along the way.

If anyone wants to ride along for some of the trip, let me know.

Well, the Tenere left with it's new owner yesterday. She flew down from PA, I picked her up at the airport, we exchanged cash for a title, and she rode north.

She's planning on riding the MABDR as much as she can on the return trip. I gave her advise on places to avoid if it's raining and alternative routes and places she needs to stop and see.

Gonna miss that bike, had some adventures with it. Time to start making memories with the Himalayans and the V85TT.

Hehe can't wait to ignore this warning label.....
