I drove this in my tippy, 1982 Toyota with home-built camper many years ago. Been thinkin' it would make an awesome moto-tour.
Anybody here ever done it?

Lost track of how many times I have done it.  South to North is more fun in my opinion since you get to power up all the really twisty switchbacks on The General's Highway instead of riding the brakes down them. Also, pull into Kings Canyon (HWY 180) and stop for a cave tour and head all the way in where you are surrounded by some pretty impressive mountains.  Nice camping area too.  They repaved most of it a couple of years ago and it is in pretty nice shape.
