SAWEET F104s, 105 MPH, that's truly fun on the 650F. I have a section here on i-5 in WA, which has plenty of long sweeping curves, just for the heck, I need to go those to get my fix, cuz you can do it at 100+ MPH, bad part is, Black 'n White is catching the drift, that we bikers use it as our test track, so one has to be careful, meaning driving by, checking if the "air" is clean, uey and full speed ahead *GRIN.

Man you gotta love that Bike

I usually keep the speed down on that part , yet from 60 mph on up that area is fun plus very pretty too.
need to get camera and shoot that ride.

Yeah, that'd be great, I'll mount my camera the next time I'll do that run to and post it.

Where do you do this f104's? I grew up in the area. First time I took a bike up to 120 was on the Richmond San Rafael bridge at about 2 AM, lower deck...The expansion joints made it interesting...

Hi TomcatVet, HWY 4 west Just pass Martinez and just before Pinole. I then take HWY 80 West to work.

Yet this one part i give happy prayer, to ride in such a nice area, makes life good.

In the lower valley Ranch and farms, cattle and horse . then the rolling hills, Going east past Pinole a majestic view of Mt. Diablo. Stunning

You remember this patch of road ??

Cheeers

Hwy4 use to be known as "blood alley" when I was there due to the high number of accidents on it....Lots of nice rides in the area, such as along the peak of the Oakland Berkeley hills. Got my first bike when I was an undergrad at Berkeley and went all over the area. Have fun, as I'm seeing the last of the riding weather here with winter coming.
