Mono Lake at the bottom of Tioga Pass.
USA USA PC800 #1! The TARDIS loves freedom, America, and twisty roads.
Tioga Pass on a PC800
Coming back from a wedding in the Bay Area, I decided to take the long road home to Oregon and go over Tioga Pass. This is by far one of the most beautiful and exhilarating rides I have ever done on a motorcycle. I absolutely adore the High Sierra.
I took a GoPro video of the entire run over the pass. It took me a while to edit it together but here it is.
A big juniper tree by the road.
Exposed granite.

I was one of the few non-Harley and non-adventure bikes going over the pass.
Granite domes.
Looking up into the high country.
Tuolumne Meadows looking more or less north.
Snow in the high country.

Dark rock from the east.
Just down the east side from the pass there is a small reservoir.
Heading down toward Mono Lake.
Tioga Pass is a California Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
Looking down the road.
It is a really, REALLY impressive road.
I can’t wait to ride that road again!
The Golden Gate Bridge and The TARDIS
I took the PC800 down for my cousin Michael’s wedding just south of San Francisco. After an all-day ride to reach the city, I took the PC800 on a little sight-seeing tour to check out the Golden Gate bridge.
I had my bike heavily loaded with stuff for the wedding. The MMoto Rack that I installed just before this ride worked like a charm. So did the beaded seat cover. No more monkey butt!
Best view on a PC800 to date!
Sean and Katie live out that way somewhere.
