Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Not exactly though I'm not sure how many Alice's there are, so you may be thinking of this? It's in Woodside which is like Skyline and 84 IIRC (Santa Cruz is further down, though on longer rides we'd go down more that way.)
Of all the things about CA I miss, it's those roads the most. We'd ride down from SF, do the super twisties, then take 84 out to the coast and it just opens up and gets bigger and bigger, big sweepers. like fun turns at 100 or so. OMG so fun. Then take the 1 back up the coast, just legendary.
Edit: I should mention most of this was on my highly modified Ninja 250. I surprised a LOT of guys on bigger/faster bikes on that thing. Only the Gixxers with no chicken strips type guys were in a different league (and one I wouldn't want to hang in, certainly on public roads - one I knew REAR ENDED a garbage truck coming around a turn too fast too see it in time)....
