    Normally serene Highway 9 is the fastest, trickiest playground in the country for hardcore motorcycle enthusiasts


    Every weekend, sport motorcycle riders flock to the mountains above Saratoga to lay down some fast turns and take on one of the best-known rides in the Bay Area--Highway 9. On Saturdays and Sundays, the parking lot where highways 9 and 35 intersect turns into one of the biggest pit stops for motorcycle riders to talk shop. Highway 9 is one of the two best rides, they say, in the entire South Bay Area, if not all of Northern California. It's part of a scenic loop of tricky backcountry rides that wind through Saratoga, up to Los Altos and over to Davenport and Highway 1. Then they come back up Highway 9 through Bonny Doon and return to the lot at Skyline Boulevard, where they swap stories, share a laugh and have a bite to eat. It's all about camaraderie.   More
