The Kancamagus Highway. That's a great road, been on it many times.  Just watch for Moose  |

The BC routes you posted links to here.... first one is certainly a popular one especially with one of the starting points being Vancouver area, but it is even better when you include the other half of the loop which is #1 back down from Lillooet through the Fraser Canyon to Hope, then back towards Vancouver on #7 (if one wishes to head back towards the city). The Fraser Canyon run is fantastic...I posted a ride report of that last year. You also include Route 6 here...good job, as this is probably my favorite road here in BC...as I noted in my post on this thread |

Nothing I can say is a favorite road here in northern Ill. Or even in southern Wisconsin, but when I lived I Colorado, the peak-to-peak road was a great ride in summer and better in the fall.

INDIANA: any road between Dillsboro and Vevay  Gavin_Sons, Kep, solo1 all voted for State Road 135 Nashville to Brownstown (and no disrespect fudgie, but no road in northern Indiana can compete with the roads in southern Indiana--almost Kentucky). When I looked at the map, I was suprised to discover I do not believe I have ever driven or ridden that road. That is in my future. My vote would be any road between Dillsboro and Vevay. I am probably a little prejudiced as I used to get to paid to ride the route in the middle of the summer. |

Arkansas, so many great roads- My favorite is Hwy 7 North from Russellville to Jasper then Hwy 21 South to Clarksville
And cant forget the Pig Trail from Ozark to Fayetteville
Also Hwy 65 from Conway to Branson, MO (little bit more relaxed)

The approach to brasstown bald Georgia being the steepest paved road that sticks in my memory Dan Ha! Got caught on Sandwich Notch by accident. My sister and her husband own a place near the western end of that road. One year we were out riding, before GPS's, and I saw that road on the map as a shortcut from Rt 113 over to Goose Hollow. Stopped just before the hardtop ended and a woman was outside her house. She seemed agitated we were there, but I didn't concern myself with it. We asked if the road was passable for us and she said it was great. Wrong. Apparently, we weren't the first to be there and she must have been tried of motorcycles in her little piece of paradise. Tough ride, but we made it with the only casualty being my Valk buddies kick stand bolt getting sheared off on a rock. Felt like going back and giving her a piece of my mind, but I need all that I got. |

One of my go to rides is Tn 315 from Tellico Plains to Reliance. It T's into Tn 30 and take that down to Route 64 at the Ocoee River. Good road condition, hardly any traffic and beautiful riding through the woods and curves.
Greasy Creek! Hell Yeah!
We'll be campin' Chilhowee CG in a couple a months  |

Going down it in July. Try to avoid a weekend if you can as it is clogged with 35' RV's towing a dinghy, driven by the ancient, scared highwaymen on their way to valhalla if they miss that hairpin and launch over the edge one way or into your lane on the other. It's not the Disney ride that some travel sites make it out to be.  Avalanches in winter, rockfalls in summer. It is not understated...a great road experience. However an open road from Durango to Montrose will leave you wholly satisfied with the joy of riding that corner of Colorado.  |

yea, Red Mountain Pass for sure. People come here from all over the world
to see and ride it. My 1st time over after moving out here I was trying to
decide whether to where my skid lid or not? after watching the YouTubes
I decided the only difference it would make is either open or closed casket!!

No doubt in my mind:
In Tennessee the Natchez Trace Parkway.
And by extension Mississippi Natchez Trace Parkway.
Scenic, relaxing and safer than most, no commercial traffic, no red lights.
If you can pack enough gas, 500 miles with no stop signs or red lights.

Could that be considered as an ideal area to have the Inzane rally?  |

Tragically U.S. 550 claims another; a local lady on her Harley and my suspicion is that she rode it many times before her unfortunate accident.  Please pay extra care if you come as a tourist; not a forgiving place when it's straight down a couple hundred rocky feet. The view while in flight is magnificent, but the landing will hurt like hell. https://durangoherald.com/articles/234972-bayfield-woman-dies-in-motorcycle-crash-south-of-silverton |

Could that be considered as an ideal area to have the Inzane rally? Perhaps? If it were held in Tupelo MS, one could ride northeast or souhwest for 200 to 250 miles each way on the Trace. Tupelo is a mid size town in northeast MS so it has the hotel and eating facilities needed. Roads other than the Trace are nothing to write home about, gentle rolling hills to flat, mostly 2 lane rural thru farm country. Interest sites are limited to Elvis Presley birth place, car museum, civil war battlefields, and the Natchez Trace Parkway. |

Sad news, seems like she was a good woman and a true m/c enthusiast. Skilled, too. The Hardly Angels are a motorcycle drill team, "The Chorus Line On Wheels". http://www.hardlyangels.org/I'd like to see a bunch of YOU guys trying this on your Valks. Notice I didn't say US guys.  I'm guessing she's really an angel now, not just Hardly one... R.I.P.. |

It's not in my state but CA 133 out of Ojai starting at Deer Lodge is damn good. I use to get off work at 5 pm and run to the Lodge for supper and then home. You can take an off shoot from Lebec called Lockwood Valley Rd. Rivals The Dragon anytime. Once on 133 with my son on the back seat, I made a high speed curve and ground a hole in the outside right exhaust.
Sunday was BBQ and live jazz. That loop was 155 miles each way.
For Texas it would be FM 337. Not only the Three Sisters part but also the section from Leakey to Vanderpool.

I’m assuming you mean CA 33. If you were to follow it north up to 198 & 25 it’s pretty cool also. |
