There are a lot of dangerous spots on Highway 1. This isn't even the worst.

I heard that Highway 1 is scary to drive, that it looks like you could go off a cliff.
Are there stretches of SR 1 without guard rails?
I was just riding that very same road last month, camping at half-moon bay. Beautiful road as is most of highway 1. Yes, lots of cliffs with no guardrails along highway 1, just a moment of distraction, especially on a motorcycle, and you are in for one heck of an “oh sh@t” moment.
Its worth the risk though, by far!
I don’t even like driving to Stinson Beach. That’s a little north of Sausalito. Stinson B. has, or at least they used to have long twisty, lumpy roads. Never liked it, but I’m not a native Californian. I’ve heard some native folks say they took their first Driver’s Test in this same twisty area.
They may have been joking.
Maybe this sport wasn’t for him.
Potential Democrat voter now,

After the service I lived in that general area for 20 years. Spent much of it on a motorcycle. LOVED those winding, twisty, bumpy roads of N. Calif! Enough to give anyone a shot of adrenaline. Had a few close calls, but you’ve got to expect that. Too bad for this fellow. He may not have done a thing wrong either... a bird in the face, an oily spot on the road, a pretty girl, any one of which could be the last thing you ever see.

I rode with someone who drove that stretch of road and I was puking bad. Never again.
He didn’t miss by mistake
Was he on his Go Pro !
My scariest ride was in Utah, driving up the mountain road to the ski resorts. Real narrow road with cliff face on one side and nothing on the other except a long way down.......
I was driving at night and was scared out of my mind and I was in a car. I can’t imaginr being on a motorcycle on that road at any time of the day.
He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back
He had a hopped-up ‘cycle that took off like a gun
That fool was the terror of Highway 101
(Wrong highway, I know.)
Look where you want to go.
Don’t drink and ride.
Take a Motorcycle Safety Foundation course.
Of course, he could have just been racing.
Well, probably not now.
