"For some people, a road is more than just a strip of pavement connecting where they are with where they want to be. It's the reason for leaving home in the first place.

The Amalfi Drive in Italy is a road like that. The Blue Ridge Parkway is too.

And so is Highway 1 in California, that magical ribbon of blacktop that snakes along the very edge of the continent. The place this motorcycle is named for. The Pacific Coast."

Join other Honda Pacific Coast owners from all over the world in September of 2008 for the ninth annual ride for Pacific Coasts on the Pacific Coast Highway, the highway for which our bike was named.

This year, 2008, we will veer away from the coast into the Sierra Nevada mountain range.

The riders will gather in Placerville, California on Saturday and Sunday, September 6th and 7th, 2008.

Starting on Monday morning September 8th, we will do a ride through the Sierra Nevadas each day such that each day will end in Placerville.

The last of these rides will be Friday, September 12th.

Riders will have the weekend of September 13th and 14th of September, 2008 to return to their homes.

[Please note that this ride is open only to Honda Pacific Coast (PC800) owner's and their guests. It is NOT an open ride. Thanks for your understanding.]
