What Z said.

It gets pretty twisty north of say... Cambria, CA. The main problem 
with it is that it's two lanes with a lot of double yellow. Those RV's 
sure can go slow! I rode up it last year to go to Laguna Seca for 
MotoGP. Hooliganism all the way - lot's of bikes passing on double 
yellow. I saw some broken plastic in a couple of places but no actual 
downed bikes. Anyway, you don't necessarily ride it for the twisties 
(unless you get an open length of road - or you're a real hooligan)... 
you ride it for the scenery. Dude, look around, it's the West coast of 
the U.S.! Right over there - that's the friggin' Pacific Ocean! The 
main problem is that it might slow you down and add a day... unless you 
do the trip IronButt style.
