    The best part of the coast is the part in Oregon and Washington. Don't cut yourself short.


    Life is too short to ride an L.

        Make sure you go in either spring or fall. Summer is usually really foggy and wet. I used to live in Monterey and some of the best clear weather was in spring and fall going up and down PCH. Bring wet weather gear. You know what that saying is around San Francisco..."The coldest winter I have ever experienced is a summer in San Francisco" This is very true.

          that is an amazing ride, rode to it from arkansas rode it from florence OR down to San Dieago and then back to Arkansas, all those miles i can garuntee the PCH was the best, We even caught Yellow stone, The black hills, Bear tooth pass, badlands, and several scenic roads and places along the way, after the PCH we rode to hover damn and grand canyon, then home. We found hwy242 by accident in ORegan which is also a very great road, going near the three sisters and through a lava field it was pretty awesome sights, The fog was bad in the morning up in Oregan and northern california as well, it was cold rides till it got out of there. Hwy 1 in my opinion was the best the first 30 miles or so getting to the coast was one of the best roads ever made for a motorcycle, I dragged more chrome of the bottom of my pipes on that road than i ever could anywhere else, I accidently dragged my engine guard on the road and popped on of the reflectors off the highway into my lap, some corners the cliff wall is right in your face when it is an inside corner and on the outside corners it is just the opposite. One thing i can say about that area cars for the most part do pull over and let the two wheels go by . I will agree it should be on every individuals list to take this road once in their life. It is amazing!!!!!
