Heed 505

We sure have it good in California. That’s what I keep thinking every time I’m on the pavement here in Daytona Beach, Florida. It’s crazy, but after riding around for the last few days during this year’s Daytona Bike Week I forgot just how good we have it over on the lower left coast.
 
What I miss most is the ability to zip in between traffic. Forget the notion of having to wait behind the yahoos in front of you. In California you simply zoom past or in between them courtesy of its lane-splitting law. It’s almost too good to be true.
 
I also miss the assortment of roads that the Golden state has to offer. We’ve got it all: Roads carved through mountains, hills and valleys; desolate straightaways that stretch as far as you can see; there’s even urban moto action downtown, if that happens to be your thing. In California there’s always a road that’s perfect for you and the way you like to ride.

We’ve also got arguably the best weather in the world. Sunshine and mild weather, most of the time anyways. Ride towards the beach or in the mountains and you’ll be treated to cool comfortable temps. Like it hot? Simply head east until you can’t take the heat anymore. Our temperate weather allows us to ride almost 365-days a year.
Forward thinking traffic rules, amazing roads, and awesome weather? Simply put, if you live in the United States, California is the true Mecca of motorcycling.
