[Ducati] The Perfect Ride

Sat May 17 01:14:49 EDT 2008

If you could remember the name of the pizza joint it would be greatly
appreciated!  Since I've left NJ, I haven't been able to find a decent slice
of pizza!

Ciao,

Some of the best pizza I have had was during a ride through Jerome.  LOVE
that road leading into Jerome.  You could defiantly tell us locals from the
"tourists" though :)

Yeah, great road, Victor - that and the 89a north of Prescott to Jerome 
(copper mining "ghost town"), Cottonwood and on to Sedona are probably my 
favorite roads in the west.  From the quality of asphalt and the number of 
turns to the elevation changes and the scenery.  I barely need an excuse to 
ride there all the way from San Diego just for a couple of runs.....!
