That would be Highway 58
or possibly Highway 33
But no where near as long. Highway 166 to the south of 58 is nothing more than a 120mph speedway, and Hwy 198 to the north of there is the main coastal route for all the tourists and truckers.
Maybe a good backroad that has some okay length would be the serveral roads that comprise Highway G14
Northern California's Highway 36 is by far an anomoly.

36 and 58 hold the top and runner-up positions on my "greatest roads" list.
I saw CHP on 166 almost every time I did it when I lived in San Luis Obispo, making weekly voyages to the southland. As a thoroughfare between 5 and 101, it was to be expected.
As far as goat trails go, if you ride roads for what they are, rather than what you want it to be, you'll get the most out of them. Most people want paved racetracks, free of imperfections.
On a dirt bike, imperfections make the road. So on Geysers (or the west half of Skaggs, or Knoxville Berryessa), I ride the ol Couch-a-saki like a dirt bike. Standing on the pegs, elbows out, jumping off of berms.
It's a hoot

Not so grizzled.
I have to agree with Mike on hwy's 36 and 58. Hwy 36 is the mecca for all riders given to us by the folks upstairs for our pleasure. Hwy 58 is a close second (i've done both of em twice and not more cuz they are so far away).
Hwy 299 is a good 3rd place rd and for pure peg scraping fun on the way north, try hwy 1 where it leaves the coast and goes inland to Leggitt. On an off day with little traffic, that little portion of hwy 1 is one fun part of the trip north. You will drag pegs down to little nubs of what they formerly were on that stretch, along with 299 outta Weaverville to the coast.
Been planning trips for the past few years upon roads recommended by Tim and have never gone wrong.
Been wanting to do Mosquito, but i think i need to wait another 10 mos till the last "Certificate of Appreciation" is off my record:mad .
