Where's your favorite road

for a good all day loop
US250 from Moundsville WV to Hundred WV
getting to and from ain't no big deal

 

Hwy 3 Hope bc to Princeton
Duffey lake road from near Pemberton to Lillooet part of hwy 99

 

Oregon 224 to Detroit lake, back to the valley on 22, and up toward (what used to be) home on 213.

 

Love the thread Polock!

Just because I spent a week of riding in the area.....Push Mountain Road in north central Arkansas is pretty amazing.

 

Living in California - Ortega Highway to Lake Elsinore - a bit dangerous but a nice curvy ride in the mountains.

Living in New Mexico - Highway 82 from Alamogordo to Cloudcroft, starting at 4300 ft and going up to 9000 ft.

 

Highway 2 in Ontario. From the Quebec border, following the mighty St Lawrence river, passing two blocks from my house, all the way through Kingston and Prince Edward County. Riding alongside that river on my Rebel twin reminded me of my grandfather's aluminum boat with the old Johnson outboard.

 

Hwy 56 in western Wisconsin. Part of the driftless area, up down and fun turns, not a lot of traffic but you should watch for the Amish. Ends at the Mississippi River and then you can hop on 35 and follow the river.

 

Always watch for the Amish. They are to quiet to hear.

 

Almost anywhere in the driftless area/south west Wisconsin is awesome to ride. The roads sometimes aren't the best but nice and scenic

 

One day I am going to America for a biking holiday looks brilliant.

 

Plan ahead. You can spend a lifetime just riding and never get to all of the good places.
The best bang-for-buck/time IMO is the western U.S.
Anywhere from the Rockies westward gives you the opportunity to ride in a very diverse and beautiful set of environments in a fairly short period of time. Go a little further west and you can start your day in the High Desert and end it at the Pacific Ocean, with a trip through the Cascade Mountians along the way.

 

Yes will do it will be a brilliant holiday I have always wanted see places in the United States.

 

44north cutting through the mountains above lock Haven! Quite a ride to get there but it's worth it! Lots of straight stretches and wide turns, very little traffic so you can just relax! ( Watch out for deer and bear x-ing)

 

I have been looking at the Rockies on the internet awesome scenery beautiful place. I will look at the lock Haven too. Such a large country with so much to see and do.

 

Moundsville wv to Morgantown wv I ran a good bit. Illinois though everything is flat. There has to be a destination otherwise it makes ya feel like there isn’t any point to it. Wife and I like riding hwy 150 from quad cities down to Peoria

 

Just north of me, above Carter lake and west of Loveland, Buckhorn road from hwy 34 to hwy 14. 25 miles of curves and elevation changes. I either ride it up and back, or make it the start of a weekend ride into the mountains

 

Yeah. Well. Show off. I get to look at corn and soy bean fields!!

 

It is a good run on the Loch Lomond road in Scotland but the road is narrow with lots of twists and turns.

 

I know, I know. Living in CO has its benefits for a rider. But most of my rides are a 20 mile strait hwy commute to the office. Thats when the handlebar mounted speakers help

 

Southern Indiana the Hoosier scenic highway starts a Lawerencebug Indiana ( Segrams distillery visit) this runs all the way to Louisville Kentucky, lots of twists and it runs along the Ohio river very scenic. Another great ride is around Brown county( Nashville indiana) very hilly and some very nice roads twistys ,you can get sooo lost and that is the fun of riding rode 130 miles once all back roads . Living in northern Indiana not as much to look at but I'm 45 miles from Michigan nice riding along Lake Michigan except roads are HORRIBLE they dont believe they believe in paving roads .

 

Hey jetfixer, i know what you mean about the roads in 'michiana'. My wife's from mishawaka. We have visited a lot, and plenty of summer trips to lakes in the area. And I grew up in KY, family in southern IN. I know that hwy along the river, been to brown county/nashville a lot. Never rode there but i bet its great

 

The ride on the Hoosier highway was awesome lots of small towns to explore , I parked next to the Ohio river watching the river traffic and boats this was a great place to stop . This was before cell phones so no pictures . The ride around Bloomington around lake Monroe to Nashville and around the Hoosier national forest around Lemon lake just thinking about makes me want to hop on bike and go...but of course it is raining ...and from where I live now would be 230 miles ...hmm sounds like a good ride. If you ever get the chance rent a HD and go for a ride . The ride in Michigan to from New Buffalo ( Four Winds Casino nice stop) to St Joseph Michigan another great ride.

Nice place Jetfixer looks great.

 

Thanks for posting the article, franz. I felt like i just rode it myself!

Funny, i can relate to so much of that. I have swam and pontooned on lake wawasee, first learned to waterski on patoka. And spent most of my pre-teen summers on the back of my dads harley all over the kentuckiana area.

A lot of trips were for his side job wiring up schools and fire alarm insp. We would hit e-town or owensboro and stop at Mike Linnigs in the way home, riverside restaurant on the KY side. Looks like someone on that ride could pop across the river easily at brandenburg for a meal. Great fish and frog legs.

Alright, i am warming up the XJ for a ride now!

 

One day l want to go to the USA and tour on a motorcycle. Great way for you to travel on your dads Harley. Glad you enjoyed the article.

 

Kentuckiana is a combination of Kentucky and Indiana l assume a portmanteau word Dan? Interesting.

 

the one I am riding on

 

Yes Kentucky and Indiana border each other great back roads in Kentucky as well , around Kentuck lake, Bowling Green , and over to West Virgina all great places to ride and explore.

 

Yes l might catch a big Pike in one of the lakes.

 

Be careful to not let the pointy end get you.

 

Its the Aligators l watch for.

 

Alligators? In Scotland? I went there once in search nessie, but never saw a gator

 

Confirmed, a portmanteau, and the area is nothing but curves.

 

Yes be nice for me to hire a Harley Davidson and tour there.

 

I like riding pine mountain /us 119. It's in ky but is akin to riding on the tail of the dragon in some spots. I've never been to the dragon but it's on my list of roads to check out. I love the twisties. 2 lane roads are my thing. I'm not a speed demon either. Just laid back cruising.

 

Appalachia! NC 28 is a favorite of mine.

 

nice curves

 

Nice picture!

 

I live at the intersection of Blue Ridge Parkway, Skyline drive through Shenendoah national park, West is Washington / Jefferson national forests and WV mountains... not a crappy place to ride

Oh, and a CRAZY amount of breweries to sample along the way.

 

Best in the world as far as I'm concerned. Just don't test the breweries until the bike is parked for the day.

Tim O, bring it on down to Vintage Yamaha Rally in September! It's right near the other end of the Parkway.

 

Thinking about it... waiting to see what else is on the calendar...

 

Highway 129–2 locations. Tail of the Dragon on North Carolina—Tennessee line; 318 curves, two lane, up and down, all in 11 miles. Also Highway 129 over Blood Mountain between Blueridge and Cleveland, Ga.

 

I believe you mean 129 between Cleveland and Blairsville. The good stuff starts at Turners Corner at the confluence of US 19 & 129. I prefer SR 60 from Dahlonega due to so much less traffic. You can do a loop that includes both, plus 180 the Wolfpen Gap!

 

You are right-- it is between Blairsville and Cleveland. It's been a long time since I did SR60, but it's a good ride too.

 

Any road around me...... Anyone who has attended a CNYCC can relate
