DefyInertia
Former '04 FZ6 Rider
I post this on a local forum where everyone is familiar with the roads, so forgive me for the details if you don't live around here.

What a trip. Here is the MAP
All loaded up and ready to go
I ate a large breakfast and pulled out of my driveway in SF at 6:50 am on Saturday. It was cool, but the sky was blue and the roads were EMPTY. I didn’t take any pictures for a while because I have seen the first 100+ miles of HWY 1 north of SF so many times and I was fresh and trying to get a good jump on my day. I did stop to get gas and eat a snack though.
That's point reyes over there
Gotta love HWY 1 when it's empty
I later stopped at this beach to take my first extended break and took this picture for Tyler. It was cold on the water, but the sky was clear and the sun was out.
Not a bad spot to rest
20 MPH?
When HWY 1 came to an end in Leggett at HWY 101, I was very happy about the fact that it was still very early, I’d been having a great ride and was not too tired, and that the weather was getting warmer. I took Avenue of the Giants in its entirety and then took some other scenic 101 alternate (the one with the “BIG TREE” sign) that proved to be good and twisty as well (I despise highway).
The FZ6 is so underrated
Couldn't resist
After somehow never stopping for a formal lunch (I snacked all day long), I made it to the park (Jedediah Smith Redwood SP) at 4 pm (about 25 miles into my reserve!).
