Man what a fun road. I was right there on mines road just six weeks ago. I was on vaca visiting Inlaws in Livermore . I was on a 1200 sportster what fun and beautiful drive. They tell me it's wonderful in the winter when the hills are a bright green instead of parched brown. Here in Kentucky it's opposite. You guys stay safe and I can't wait for my lil M to get here 10/27/11.
