Well a couple of years ago when I rode out to the western rallye in 
Colorado, the whole time our pack was buzzing through Nevada and 
Utah, I kept thinking to my self, "I left the roads of Northern 
California for this?". I'd still go to another rallye for the 
socializing, but I'm pretty damned spoiled when it comes to roads.

Avenue of the Giants, Hwy. 36, The lost coast loop, Hwy 299, Hwy 3 
and more backroads than I can even list are all in my backyard. Most 
are like Hwy 36 where you can ride for two hours and maybe have to 
pass a few cars. (Unless it's hunting season, then it resembles 
something from the Bay Area). Police presence is almost zip. The 
downside? We don't have a Triumph dealer anymore. Should have had the 
rallye here 2 years ago.
