We have a road here that runs through Muir woods and out to Stinson beach. Highway 1.
The best line is in your lane and never going over the Line..The Bike's love the road and the groove is in your lane. Also the turns are so tight that and blind that you have to stay in your lane, and also the drop off is certain death..
I have never had so much fun in my life...It reminded me of being 12 and on a carnival ride..You would suck in air on the straightaways and hold your breath in the turns..
I used to run my Z/28 out there and amaze people with it's handling, BEFORE I installed the coil overs, A arms, Hotchkis, ect...
My neck would be sore for week... I can remember being WOT and having sports cars turn around to TRY to catch me..They never did.
True it was in the 1990's and we only had 300Zx's back then, and the Corvette's were still lame, but they couldn't catch me.. Now days the cars are way faster and high tech. I would have the choice of two sweet cars to run.
But try it on a weekend ?? Bumper to bumper, and fricken Winnebago's all over...5 to 10 miles an hour the whole way..
But to be real, I am 52, and I would not drive like that on that road again.
But if you live near Marin County, you probably have run your Z car on that road...Or you should, just NEVER on a weekend.
