The cop was coming in the other direction and I let off the throttle and didnt bother braking because I knew it was too late already. He didnt light me up at first so I thought I was safe. But when I looked in my mirror, the cherries went on and I knew it was for me so I just pulled over. He took a good 20 seconds to make a u-turn and pull in behind me.
I bascially told him the truth. I was going fast because I was freezing cold and wanted to get out of there before it got dark. See the snow in the background? I was 8000 feet up and wasnt dressed for it. I was at that elevation for about 1 hour.
I told him about my trip and he thought it was cool. He just told me to slow down because he didnt want to find me in the trees down the road.
Cool cop! Cool story bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 9: I've never ridden more twistier roads in my life!
I wake up and I'm finally in California. I made it. There were a couple of things that I was looking forward to doing while I was in California. 1) Canyon Riding, 2) Pacific Coast Highway, 3) Lane Splitting
The first thing that I did was head to the canyons. I picked a random canyon to go up and as soon as I entered the canyon road, twists and turns galore! You couldnt get enough. I had a little trouble getting used to it because of all the luggage on the back of my bike and the seating position that I was in. I could barely move myself off my bike because my backpack would catch onto my luggage. I made it to the top of one of the mountains and found two riders with the same bike as me. They were surprised to see that I've gone so far and we talked about my trip. Since they were local riders, they gave me some suggestions as to where to ride and what to watch out for. Of course they mentioned the snake (Mullholland Highway) which I was planning to go to. We then parted ways.
I ended up finding a road going down the mountain and it was quite exciting but very dangerous. A downhill road with twists and turns going downhill. One mistake and you're falling off the cliff. I treaded lightly since a mistake could spell disaster but I still had my fun.
Soon enough, I made it to the famous Mullholland Highway. The turns were faster and tighter than I've experienced the whole day. At one point, a decreasing radius turn caught me off guard and forced me to lean even harder into the turn at which point my peg scraped the ground. Yes, my peg scraped the ground even with all that luggage on it. I made it up to the top where the camera guys from RockStore Photos took a picture of me. I'm waiting for them to post it
At the top, the bikers hang out at the lookout point. I got off the bike and started looking around when I heard "Guys, this bike has Ontario plates! Is it yours?" It was definitely mine. I talked to a group of local riders who were very interested in my trip and I told them all about it. They eventually took me to another canyon called Latigo. That road is the best road I've ever ridden in my life. I know I keep saying that but its true! Now I know why they get 2000 miles off of their tires, they basically have a racetrack in their backyard.

It was time to head out and find a place to stay for the night. I ended up in some random town where I got a room in a motel and settled in.
Now a lot of people have been asking about this mysterious Nikki girl. As I was eating my Thai dinner, I decided to send her a text to see what she was about. A few texts later, we agreed to talk more on msn. I'm not made of gold and at 50 cents a text message, it gets expensive! We ended up talking all night and we hit it off. I really liked her, maybe Rico from the other day knew something about traveling that I didnt believe in. Its unfortunate that I dont really have time to go back to Arizona. But life is full of surprises and there's no telling what the future holds.

Awesome!!! Loving the vid you just posted with the music and the twisties
For that particular stretch of twisties, it went on for about 15 mins more. My wrists were so tired because of the way I was sitting on the bike. Keep in mind I have about 20 lbs of luggage on my back seat
I have more but it just takes time to edit it. I'll likely do most of it when I get home after the trip because its hard to do it on the road.

I hope Wheelieboy found the gas station on the way out of our place. I gave him directions but he turned the wrong way out of our neighborhood! Have a great trip!!!
I made it to the Mobil 1 Gas station you were telling me about somehow even though I took a different route. Roads around LA are confusing

Awesome you went to Jerome!!! Love that town
I did the twisties at night so no video. The local guys I was riding with booked it through there. It was quite scary to do it in darkness but it was fun!
