OK guys if you know anything about this area please give your thoughts and opinions. I am headed that way in a few days from NC.
Forgot my link

 

Was in Truckee last year with the Mrs. (in a rented Caddy, no bike), not familiar with your route though. We took 395 South, stayed the night in Lone Pine and went across Death Valley (129* the day we went) on our way back to Vegas. Make sure you eat at the Truckee Diner, Guy Fietti (?) did his show there, Kobi Beef Meatloaf, mmm! Also a small hamburger joint he was at, located at the other side of town. Sorry I couldn't be of more help...beautiful Country though, have fun!

 

From Sequoia, I'd head over to Death Valley. And down to Mojave, and Joshua Tree.

 

It's going to be S-L-O-W (compared to the interstate), but it's going to be beautiful!

Plan to spend a few days in Yosemite - and get reservations ahead of time! It's well worth it.

The Tahoe area is nice, too. Beautiful scenery and great riding.

Enjoy!

 

In a word NO.
Are you renting a bike or what??

Yosemite, Sequoia, Golden Gate Bridge, Route 1/Monterrey/Big Sur .
Can't really go wrong if you stay up in the Sierra or along the Coast

How many days do you have and how many miles a day do you like to rack up... are you a mileage hog or do you like to stop and smell the roses along the way..

 

Nice route! Hope ya have some time to enjoy and see the sites. Ya don't have to go all the way into Fresno.That 190/m99 road over the hill is pretty desolate with no/little gas but a great ride as I remember. Enjoy!

 

Gas will be your biggest issue…..

 

Your way is nice but I think 395 is better alot more sites to see then west on 80 + you'll have gas along the way & lodging if needed.

 

If it were me I run up to Nevada and cross death valley. Its a great run and one most people avoid

 

I've done most parts of that route by both bike and car. That's going to be a great ride but just keep an eye on gas and don't go past a station without filling up.

Just know that there is so much to see in Kings Canyon and Sequoia that you will end up spending hours riding in and out. The backside of Sequoia down to Three Rivers is a LOT of fun. Switchbacks and steep grades galore.
