This is the view atop Nacimiento-Fergusson Road before dropping down onto PCH. It becomes a single paved road and there is quite a bit of gravel in some of the corners. A few of the corners, especially the rights are blind and it's important to stay as far to the right as possible to avoid a possible collision with a motorist heading the opposite way.

A fully automatic mode can also be selected in which the bike will do all the shifting for you.
