Where's the Gear?
I'm getting onto 880 north from HWY 92 the other day and I see a new Yamaha R6 behind me. As the rider passes me I notice several things:
- Nice new bike, red windscreen and red Micron slip-on to match the bike.
- The rider is wearing a jacket, shorts, tennis shoes and NO GLOVES!!! Are you kidding me? Why does someone spend the money on a new bike and aftermarket stuff and not wear the proper gear?
Is it any wonder that insurance keeps going up, skin grafts are not cheap.
Please wear your gear at all times.

Highway 1 from Carmel South
One of my favorite sections of Highway 1 is from Carmel going south towards Big Sur. The road is in very good condition and depending on when you ride there can be little traffic. If you are attending the MotoGp races or are in the Salinas/Monterey area this is a great ride.
From Salinas I ride Highway 68 towards Monterey. Just before the entrance to Laguna Seca Raceway you can make a left turn onto Laureles Grade (G20) this will take you on a nice twisty ride over the mountain into Carmel Valley. At the end of Laureles Grade you are at the junction of Carmel Valley Road (G16). Turning right will take you west to Carmel. This route will bypass most of the Monterey/Carmel traffic.
