Hit the Sierras this Saturday, just a quick 200ish mile ride. This was the first time that I really had a chance to see what the Multi could do. Hwy 49 was the right road to find out. I guess I was in Doug's(Red Wasp) backyard . The Ninja 900 has 99k miles and the BMW1000R is new, just 1400 miles. My Duc has over 4k on the clock now.
Had to dig out my heated gear again! Downright chilly going over the Donner Pass.
Mineral Bay Bridge right outside of Colfax Ca, around halfway between Reno and Sacramento.
Iowa Hill Road. 15% grade on a one lane road with no barriers! Cars really make it tough if you're going up hill since you have to straddle the right side of the roadway, you tip over, you go down about a thousand or two feet to the bottom. No second chance if you go wide in the turn.
Lunch in Colfax
Sierra Buttes in the background right off Hwy 49, west of Downieville.
We saw tons of cops on both the Nevada and California side.
