Nice road, but your buddy in the front of you needs "the talk". Dave.

The continual crossing of the double yellow results in sloppy riding. Be disciplined and stay w/in your lane. Less chance of messing up and having a head on. But (!) thanks for posting. I drove it a couple o times in my Jeep and thought it would be fun on a sporty bike. Fun hangout at the end. AZ really is great for Jeeps though, cuz there are trails everywhere.

Haven't been back since '89 or so.

Haven't been back since '89 or so. It's dirt after Tortilla Flats. The pavement ends at the store/restaurant/bar Title: Re: Tortilla Flats, AZ Post by: C 4 on February 08, 2012, 05:37:39 pm It's dirt after Tortilla Flats. The pavement ends at the store/restaurant/bar NEGATIVE. It is paved for a few miles past the bar. This is the best section for some speedy passes without much traffic. The section before the bar is pretty beat up now. Title: Re: Tortilla Flats, AZ Post by: atadaskew on February 08, 2012, 07:19:54 pm NEGATIVE. It is paved for a few miles past the bar.
