    I'm flying out to Vegas in two weeks and riding south from there. I’d love to get some road suggestions and "must stop" attractions. P.S. tastes run along the scenic and windy - not interested in the glitz and glamour.

    It's been a while since I've been riding around that area (20 years) but if memory serves there really isn't much in the way of windy good roads. If memory serves, just east of there there's a decent road around Lake Mead.

    I can ask my buddy Bruce, who's a member here but rarely posts. He lived out there for some years and knows the area much better than I do.

    I'm working on shared maps now so as we all travel around we'll be able to tag good roads we find and post them here ... but I won't have it done in time for your trip.

    Depending on where in SoCal you wind up, there is always the Pacific Coast Highway:



    There are also some suggestions here:



    And here:



    I must say I envy you--I've not been anywhere on a bike in California since '92(!)

    Hope you have a great trip and some great rides

    Of course, I'll be happy to share the pics and experience. Right now, I'm stoked about the Oatman-Topic Hwy and the nostalgia of Old Route 66. Thanks for your support and adding to the pre-ride excitement and preperations.
