Default Road Trip recommendations...

Hello everybody!

My long awaited vacation is finally here and I am planning on riding the M solo down into California from up here in B.C. I figure to have atleast 7 days for sure available so I have a fair amount of time to see the sights down there. I did the Oregon Coast a couple of years ago, boogieing down the I-5 and then over to Florence and working my way back up through Washington.

I am thinking of running down the I-5 to San Fran and then over to Yosemite to do some sightseeing and camping, and then returning up the 101 back up to Oregon. This would get the long hours over with at the start (8-10 hour days) and leave me to take my time coming home to B.C.

I know we have many fine members on here from Cali and Oregon and would love any advice on must-see places,twisty roads to ride, or help with my route planning. I know this thread isn't exactly ABOUT the M50, but I swear I am riding it and will post lots of pictures to prove it (must keep mods happy...)

thanks so much in advance for any advice you may have...
Cheers,
MATT
