I've riddin a bunch of those and it's hard not to rate Big Sur Hwy 1 as possibly the best I've ridden.

Damn it Michael, I hate to agree with ya, but I got to this time.   That road in my book should be #1 on the list, or no lower than #2.   I suppose I just logged too many miles on that road it became 2nd nature to me.

Yep, RJ! Due to a slip in March, the road was closed, N. end and S. end! I was gonna have to take the "Nasty"- Fergussen over the top connector Rd. till I found out yesterday that this Fri. all repairs will be completed! Yay!!

Down Carmel Valley Road and over the Nacimiento-Fergusson Road recently to get around the slide and over to PCH for lunch at Nepenthe restaurant.  Great day.

I've ridden 11 of these roads, some of them many times....their are alot of roads that should be on that list, but it would be hard to take the one's on the list off...one of my favorite rides was Beartooth....if you ever get the chance to ride it, its one you'll never forget...that was the only time I had to drop to 3rd gear on a Valk to pull a grade...

[sugerbear]

i've got 4................well 3 1/2 anyway. probably won't get the others

[Rob A]

I have only done #9 and #1.
#1 was awesome

[Gary]

I've done a few of them myself but looks like I have a ways to go.

Here's my Hwy 1 PCH shots taken when I flew out to San Jose from OKC to buy a Tourer back on Mothers Day in 2003? Came down the coast to So Cal and surprised mom for her day.




Side note: Big Sur was about the only game in town for gas and it was going for an unheard price of about $3.80/gal. Remember this was in 03, freakin rediculous. I stopped at about $10.00 and made it to the next stop due south.

A great trip making my way back through the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley (AZ/UT), The Million Dollar Hwy (CO), The Enchanted Circle (northern New Mex), and then back to reality in western, OK.  

[Michael K (Az.)]

Nice pics! Sure sounds like it was a great trip!

[sheets]

Done #8 a few times...and #5, from San Francisco, Hwy 01 north to the junction with 101.

14. Ohio Route 170, Calcutta to Poland.

I am going to hazard to guess that this one is pretty much not on anyone's list of roads they have ridden? About 10 miles from my house just south of that little armpit of humanity known as Youngstown, Ohio.

I have been on this road countless times; it has never been a hotbed for motorcycle activity. It is a nice road, don't get me wrong, but I have no idea how it made a list with so many other truly spectacular routes.
