Am taking the GT3 to California at end of summer. Would appreciate recommendations for the best roads in/around LA; mid Coast and SanFran areas. Thanks for the help,

 

northern california highway 1 and check out pebble beack golf course.

 

theres also a route that follows the pacific crest trail that starts in mexico and ends in canada but thas a bit of a stretch. Highway 1 tho is considered to be the most beautiful in the whole world. no lie..

 

here's a blog from a small percentage of roads i've traveled here

101 from LA to San Francisco is a nice drive. Christophorous seems to think so too

 

Check www.pashnit.com for some of the best roads. It's a motorcycle site but it doesn't matter.

 

get over the golden gate take a right and under the freeway leads to the coast hwy stay on it forever you will never want to return,,,, this will take you all the way to fort bragg...point reyes first then some very cool ocean front towns, not much inforcement and you will find youself right on the ocean really!!!!!

 

Bring the radar detector. Last time I ran PCH north up to fort bragg I passed at least 10 white highway patrol cars and saw at least 4 people pulled over. Don't forget- Them is small town folk up there too and they don't take too kindly to strangers ripping up their roads with them exotic cars.

Same thing for 101N between LA and San Francisco- heavily patrolled.

Recently I've been hit twice by laser now too. Seems as though some of the new CHP motorcycles are equipped with laser now.

The best driving roads and the least patrolled ones are still in Southern California but I'm not telling where...As soon as some fool posts them the cops will follow. I've seen it happen with another site where some of my favorite roads were posted. Now you can't drive them because every schmuck with an exhaust kit on his car is up there because they were posted online as the best roads to drive. Unfortunately many of them have destroyed their cars and motorcycles up there too...in way over their heads.

Please! PM this gentleman with your suggestions so we don't draw unecessary attention to our favorite circuits. Thanks!

 

and, yes, please do send the messages by PM.
Feel free to make hotel/restaurant recommendations for points along that route. Appreciatre your thoughts and comments.

 

ALE PM me and I will put you in touch with a bunch of 993 crazies who will drive from the Bay area to Santa Barbara for a cup of coffee. They will purposely go out and hunt out roads they have never been on that are 200 miles away from their home. They ganged up and did a 1200 tour de California to see where they could find the best crab cake. They are good friends of mine and some of them are retired and would love to host someone looking for some serious seat time.

 

sounds like my wife and I. We drove to San Jose and back in one day just to eat

 

I drove 350 miles yesterday in search of coffee and breakfast...

 

was on the coast hwy last nov between fort bragg and bodega bay not hint of police guess things have changed .. sorry . still a great drive.. think bolinas is a tad strange though.

 

If you are in OC stop by the shop and say Hi..

we are located near soith coast plaza 405 and 55 area.

 

If you want the real skinny on the best roads from Jenner North send me an email and I will let you in on a few very well kept secrets!! There are a few little known roards that even the local CHP don't patrol. (note that CHP is singular)
