Irritable Male Syndrome is caused by drops
in testosterone. Far more serious, because it affects riders of
both sexes, is Irritable Motorcyclist Syndrome – the sudden
decrease in twistosterone caused by excessive exposure to speed
tax collectors. And sadly, because this road is used as a
training run by the CHiP motorcycle corps, you can get posses of
latter-day Ponchs and Jons damping down your hormones here in a
big way. And that's a shame, since this quadripartite DH has
some of the best TIRES variety in NorCal. After escaping
Fresnoland through the rolling, lower foothills of the Sierra
Nevada, a high-speed, major-highway-like howl sweeps you up Big
Sandy Bluff to cooler climes. From Pine Ridge to Shaver Lake,
you get a Pavement and Engineering-challenged, tight-and-twisty
romp through the thick of the Sierra National Forest. Once you
are round Shaver Lake, Remoteness soars as the road stretches
out and climbs into the Sierra Nevada approaches before ending
at Huntington Lake. Sound good? It is – as long as you pick a
good time to ride it. Problem is, since this road is also
heavily patrolled by CHiP black and whites and monitored from
the air, you really don't have a fricking clue when that might
be. And that’s really irritating.
