SoCal Residents - First Drive?

[joevsw0rld]

Looking for suggestions on where to take my new ride after taking delivery. Somewhere with minimal cops and lots of twists and turns preferably.

I use to take my club in So Cal down the Ortega highway between Irvine and Lake Elsinore.

The road up to Big Bear is also fun, as is the road up to Palomar Mountain.

Vegas will be my first long road trip!

Palos Verdes penninsula!

Definitely my first thought! Get some great pics too.

Planning on Vegas at the end of Nov. for first road trip. Might try the Malibu canyons before then.

Glendora mountain road early to beat the road bikers.

Hey there SoCal buddy, how about driving the same route the Mustangs were taken on during media week? Angeles National Forest seems nice and twisty. I'm also a fan of Topanga Canyon & PCH and I think my favorite is this one: Mulholland to Sunset to Coldwater Canyon. Jay Leno calls this L.A.'s hidden Nurburgring.

Don't die!

It's gonna be fun, man.

Tackled this 64 mile course just after sundown yesterday, which was actually 75 miles...did Topanga Canyon Boulevard twice, which is becoming my favorite road in the city.

Theres the imfamaous mulholland drive in malibu, theres glendora mountain road, theres sage road which cuts theough the mountains from temecula to hemet. To name a few.
Be careful on sage road though, theres some rough spots!

If you like the canyon runs in Malibu, try PCH to Las Flores to Schuern to Stunt to Mulholland (or the reverse). Just stay in your lane when you're out there. Not as many see through two-to-three-turns-ahead stretches out there like on Glendora, and not as many wide sweepers as the Crest.

NOW, IF YOU'RE FEELIN EXTRA SQUIRRELLY, and are up to making the drive out to Neptune's Net on PCH at County Line, head up (I REPEAT UP) the mountain on the ultra-twisty Yerba Buena Rd that is just off the Neptune's Net parking lot — you'll eventually land back on Mulholland, if you do it right and don't take a wrong fork, don't worry you'll know pretty quickly if you took a wrong fork. One important thing to note, there are a few parts of road that are not in the best of conditions, although the last time I was out there (on my motorcycle last summer) it looked like they might be working on repaving the iffy stretches. But it's always been much easier to handle Yerba Buena in a car than on a bike. Just remember don't take it downhill - you will fry either your brakes or clutch or both because this road is too fun to take too slow! It takes you up the highest paved peak in that section of mountains.
