hwy 49 little dragon

anybody in nor cal ride hwy 49 the little dragon?

yeah....i used to ride it all the time...then I came around a corner before salmon falls coming into el dorado hills, and some crazy bitch in a subaru hit me.... so i havent ridden it since....

Yeah that's a sweet ride, except for all the speed traps:headshake

wow sounds like a fun road. check for devils back bone its on the east coast but wow what a ride

Yeah that's a sweet ride, except for all the speed traps:headshake I ride there all the time - I especially like coming back Salmon Falls road and burning up some side rubber. Where those traps at?

i have seen CHP out there, but I have never seen any speed traps...going up to grass valley is where you see all the speed traps.

The only place that i've seen them is in Kool, but that was only twice.

49 goes over i80 right? I was just up in Auburn yesterday and pasted 49 exit and remembered this thread. Anyone notice the past couple days in Sacramento area, all the cops out. I've been noticing a ton of motorcycle cops all on the side of the road using LIDAR.

No! Guys/Girls, the Little Dragon is HWY 49, North of Mariposa to Coulterville. The twisties are north of Bear Valley. And yeah, I ride it ALL the time! GREAT road and little traffic! Sometimes though, there's sand/mud on the road or it "looks" like there's mud on the road!? It's weird, it's like Caltrans cleaned the road with a muddy rag...

This morning I woke up, took a pee and threw on my helmet and decided to check 49 out. (Auburn/Placerville area) Wow! My 1st time ever riding some twisties and I couldn't get enough of it. Put 100 miles on my bike today. :thumbup:

i live in el dorado hills so i ride salmon falls to 49 to 193 and back like every day the best twisty's ive ever been on espically when you take the forest hill route and ride across the forest hill brigde cali's tallest bridge at 730 feet also the one vin disel drives the vette off of in XXX but yea love those rodes very dangerous through friends wrecked my matt maldin edition 1000 on the road:headshake :headshake :headshake

I agree! I love Foresthill road from the bridge heading south I think (Heading away from 80/Auburn). Some sweeeeet long ass sweepers and great twisties sections. Friend of mine was talking to a cop that works that area. He said most cops don't care how fast you go on the twisties. But, on the straights, no triple digit shit and absolutely no wheelies. I guess they have a hard-on for people who love to do wheelies over the Forest Hill bridge. I know I'm gonna eat my words here, but I have yet to see one cop on forest hill road/ 49. :arsenal

Guys, i just moved up here from Orange County,CA I live in Tracy, Ca. do you guys want to get to gether for some riding?? i dont know that many people around here.

hey u gotta be really careful on 49 now. ppl that live out there are getting mad that theres bikes all night long. they are pouring fresh oil on mid corners. a few of my friends have went down because of that reason. so please be careful guys. take care all

I got to roll the 49 from Mariposa to Auburn last weekend. A very nice ride. I gotta say the first part to Coulterville is is one of the nicest stretches of pavement in Cali!

I ride highway 4 from stockton out to 49 then south to sonora, it's a real nice ride with good pavement and i've only seen one cop and it was a biker, I just passed him today going the opposite way on a big sweeper with a good lean on doin 80 in a 50 or 55. I just waved and he waved back and we both went on with our wonderful rides. I'm gonna head north next weekend towards sac on highway 49. Does anyone want to join? I'll probly go both saturday and sunday.

hwy 50 to tahoe is a pretty nice ride to...its some good stretches for yankin some. but then when you get up by icehouse it turns int some nice turns.

i live in el dorado hills so i ride salmon falls to 49 to 193 and back like every day the best twisty's ive ever been on I rode that loop out of El Dorado Hills not long ago. It was a realy nice ride, good roads and the traffic was pretty light when we got there in the morning @8am cant wait till i get another clear weekend so i can head back up there.
