Mulholland Highway... one of the twisty-est roads I have ever ridden

Your Ad Here I made it to the Rock Store in short order this morning. Come to find out, last night I slept about 5 miles away. I knew I was close but 5 miles was a snap.

Cool place!

I took the RV up the twisty road. That was a hoot for sure. Low hanging branches lightly scrubbed the roof a couple times.  My pictures can’t do this road justice. The road just disappears around corner after corner. Some corners are so tight that I thought I would meet myself coming the other way!!!

I saw Lamborghini's, Ferrari’s, Porsches and all sorts of motorcycles. From talking with a local I learned that Sunday is the busy day here. I thought it was pretty busy today.  My scooter wasn’t the slowest thing there. I was glued to the back of a really nice silver Subaru WRX STI the whole way down the mountain. Try as me might, he couldn’t shake me. I wish I had pictures.

1st floor food prep area. Ok burgers here. Not great or good... just ok, Pricey too!

There was a couple professional photographers and a videographer near the top taking shots and videos of everyone. I guess they upload thumbnail size pics to their websites and you can purchase the full sized photos if you choose. I will definitely be looking for the pics of me on my scooter. I rode up and down the roughly 4-5 miles mountian road 3 times and then headed for the RV for some lunch.
This lady was cool. She was local. She said weighed less than 100 lbs and her bike more than 600.

We are currently parked nearby in a nice shady spot on the side of a hill. It’s in the mid 70’s now and full on sun. Sorry my northeastern friends & family but... it's actually kind of HOT here.

Why am I in the San Diego mountains?

Your Ad Here I am headed for "The Rock Store".

The usual scene outside the Rock Store
Nice mix of bikes. The 6 cylinder CBX was king in it's day.


I hope to take the scooter off the back of the RV and ride some of these awesome roads around here.

Maybe I'll meet Jay Leno and get to ride his jet engine powered motorcycle too? He goes to the Rock Store to show it off and hang out with the common folk.
The jet bike!

A VIDEO of it starting up. How cool is that?!

More info on the $185,000 Y2K jet bike. They would probably sell more if they came up with a better name.  The Y2K? Really?     VIDEO
