    Matt, the motorcycle gods were shining on you that day. Not only to have run into a friend of your Dad's but to have him take you on a wonderful journey.

    That's cool you ran across an old child hood friend of your dads. Agree, I have met some of the coolest folks when riding, it's like you never meet a stranger who rides. RIP Annette.

    Thanks Matt. Road the route today. It was awesome! Stopped in at Hell's Kitchen for a burger and met Frank the new owner - very cool guy. After he bought the place he had a grand reopening in March and said he had over 7200 bikes show up for the event and showed me some awesome pics. He asked how I heard of his place and I told him from this video and he said he knew you. The best part of the ride was coming back from the lake. Very little cagers in the way, lots of twisting on the twisties. Next time I'll take the backroad route as this was my first time on the main road.

    Nice video Matt, I ride Hwy 74 all the time. Like you I was saddened to hear of Anette's passing, she was a sweetheart and loved motorcycles. Still not sure of exactly what happened. Your bike is looking sweet bro, dig that seat.It's a Corbin, right? I had them on my sportbikes, do you suggest one for my M8 Road King?. I'm going to try that side road next time I'm up there, thanks Jerry! ou going to Laughlin ?

    @JonHeckendorf 6 лет назад

    During several decades, I used to live near both ends of the 74. Rode and drove many decades on the Ortega (for pleasure and to/fro work) and explored everything in and around the area on my bikes. It used to be my bar and restaurant hopping goto ride. The highway IS dangerous and IS a killer. It used to be touted as the most dangerous road in California. Nice video and great narration too. Thanks. All of the hills and mountains within a hundred miles of there make for great day trips. Way too many to describe. Ride safe as I know you do and stay far away from the stupid idiots on the road. [1984 FLHX, 2002 Road King, and 2010 FLSTFB Lo]

    Matt try the rest of 74. Once you get to Elsinore keep going east through Hemet and you end up in Idyllwild and Mountain Center and if you go long enough you hit Palm Springs.

    Hello Matt! This Franco from Sacramento and I just recently bought a 2002 Road King. Anyway I am just starting out my journey and adventure with my bike. My experience of driving a motorcycle was when I was stationed in Camp Pendleton and I was commuting to 29 Palm a lot. Before I hit the road I want to get acclimated and familiarize with the bike and its going to take about probably four to six months and the road I would love to is Highway 1. Anyway have you drove it yet and can you tell me some pointers?
