Two wheeled weekend
Posted By: xs400, 03-10-2008, 11:39 PM

My other hobby is motorcycling. This weekend I went out and practiced both of my hobbies.

The weather near San Francisco was just spectacular over the weekend. Just a perfect day to go look for some twisty roads. When the weather is nice like is was last weekend, it can be hard to find nice roads in the SF Bay Area without any traffic. It seems like everyone wants to go out for a drive. I just happen to know where to go to find those empty, twisty roads running through the hills separating San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean.

Here's some pics of where I spent my Sunday.

All shots K100D and DA 16-45mm.

Frank, you're killin' me here.
I've been watching the ice thaw on the side streets separating my driveway from the open road and anticipating the first ride of the year. I've been on roads like those you depict and your photos - well - had an effect on me.
Thanks.

You reminded me I have some shots from a trip up north I took a few years ago. Here's one from late at night on the road between Tok, AK and Dawson City, YT. Talk about deserted...

Very nice images, Frank. And a beautiful countryside. Looks like a great place to ride a motorcycle. By the way, if you get a chance, check out the "You & Your Motorbike" thread elsewhere in this photo sub-forum for other images of motorcycles (including my earlier Kawasaki and BMW).

Edit: Nevermind. I just noticed you posted in that thread while I was looking through this one.
