Southern California seems to get most of the attention, but the fact is, Northern California has some of the best riding in the state and is
much less congested. Most people visiting northern
California are surprised at how much "nothing" is there. This enhanced tour we have designed for you is pure motorcycling nirvana including winding mountain passes, majestic redwoods, active volcanoes and breathtaking coastline, not to mention some of the world's finest wine, straight from the source.
You'll spend two restful nights on the shores Lake Tahoe enjoying the many activities of the area - boating, casinos, and of course those roads. As we depart, the pace picks up as we motor toward Lassen Volcanic National Park, entering the National Forest as
you pass through Quincy. Don't forget you are standing on a dormant volcano, with bubbly bits perking out all over to remind you that this giant is merely slumbering, The last major eruption was 80 years ago; it blew its stack more than 300 times between 1914 and 1921. Despite the 35 mph speed limit through most of the park, northbound riders seem to soar over the 8,500 ft. summit. We’ve heard tales of riders of riders enjoying the views a little TOO much, and following their eyes into eternity, so
please keep mindful that safety is always Number One on every Great American Tour.
From the Lassen National Forest you depart for Lake Shasta via it's namesake mountain, and that evening
you rest on the South shore at one of the most delightful
B&B's we've found anywhere.
It’s a little over 100 miles of motorcycling bliss to US 101 on the Pacific Coast from Redding. Highway 299 treats us to yet another dose of motorcycle riding at its best, with a full spectrum of variety. Twisting turns, winding roads following rivers and streams, mountain passes and gently sweeping stretches that tempt you to "light the wick" just a bit. All this just serves to whet your appetite for the Pacific Coast Highway, a virtual oasis separate from the rest of California. Highway 1 is a motorcyclist’s dream come true. You crack the throttle and your worries fade into the background. No tract homes, traffic jams or boulevards here... just you, your motorcycle, the wind in your face and the unbelievable coastline. After a night in
Garberville you turn inland to the Napa Valley.
You'll spend your final day touring wineries or get in a one more ride through the motorcycle paradise of Northern California.
