Dangerous AKA Best DAMN Road in the East Bay: Morgan Territory

It's kind of like this... Lets take Mines road, remove the asphalt, make the road tighter, put tons more housse and lots of car traffic... If that's what you're into then this road is perfect. I'm still looking for the guy on BARF who recommended this road so I can kick him so hard in the nuts he's probably going to have to change genders.

What's really great is they put up the signs that say "8 miles" and you think oh nice only 8 miles then we're out of this then you get to 8 mile point and there's another sign that says "13 Miles" then you go ANOTHER 13 miles and you get to a sign that says "8 miles" the road just likes to piss people off...

Coming off of 680 heading towards 880 in Fremont

The intersection of Warm Springs and Mission Blvd there is a HUGE Pothole.... Beware.

It is located on the Red Square on the map.

Skagg's Road, coming in from 1

"No services for 47 miles" (not a pleasant sign when riding a s4rs)

10+ miles of single lane, bumpy ass, blind cornered, potholed filled, gravel strewn, not been paved in 40+ years stretch of road that turns into to 25 miles of heaven!

30 MPH??!!  WTF???!!!

TCK!

Mines Road: A bit dirtier then normal this time of year, no water crossings, but the asphalt was smooth
San Antonio Valley Road: The road is basura, not as much dirt but the asphalt has lots of sink holes. I was very glad I had my steering damper as I got a pretty intense what I would call a tank slapper just as I was coming out of turn.
Mt Hamilton: Dirt, dirt everywhere. Every corner covered in gravel and sand.
Kincaid: Smooth fresh clean pavement. Although there was some gravel in some turns. I'd also recommend to turn around when the lane goes from two to one. The single lane is VERY narrow and I almost became very up close and personal with a Chevy pickup truck. We were both as far right as we could go and there was barely room, bad luck that we met in a turn.
Calaveras: Clean hassle free
Palomares: Coming from 84 the first or second turn was covered in dirt, after that clean all the way to Castro Valley
Redwood: Clean, although the pavement has been a bit bumpy.
Skyline: Clean, even the pine needles were gone.
Grizzly Peak: Clean most of the way.

Hwy 1 North, just north of the 84 junction.
There is a quick right-long left with signs for reduced speed (one of the few corners on 1 with such signs).
Mid-apex on the right hand turn, there is a substantial bump across most of the northbound lane.

"No services for 47 miles" (not a pleasant sign when riding a s4rs)  Not sure what you mean here, you must be referring to fuel? I got no probs on my RS out there.  [moto]

10+ miles of single lane, bumpy ass, blind cornered, potholed filled, gravel strewn, not been paved in 40+ years stretch of road that turns into to 25 miles of heaven!       WIMP!  ;D Serioualy tho, it is a beautiful ride...

I'm not totally useless, I can be used as a bad example!

TCK!

I just read that they are tearing up Mines road, soon they will be covering it in gravel.

Enjoy. Be Careful.

A lot of dirt and gravel on Pinehurst, mainly on the right handers.  Its pretty obvious because they are big patches, but ride safe!
