WTH!!! why was I not told how amazing this road was? Yesterday I drove the Western Half with the bike and it was AMAZING! Gorgeous views, awesome roads, moving traffic (not too bad, but you did have to give yourself plenty of space). I would say it ranks up there with some of the best roads I...

Rant... for the last day or so I have been trying to do some vector art. just a simple design of 2 boxes and some words..
