10 Best Motorcycle Roads in US?

[2tallnwide]

One vote for Ozello road on the Nature Coast of Florida....that's right Florida....esp Dec thru March....

Riding on the beaches of the east coast of Florida provides alot of scenic curves as well.... (and some not so scenic... )

[Bib]

CA #4 - from 89 to 49
Ca #155 - from 65 to 178 - East of Glennville is amazing......

[SuzukiQ]

The highways in Sequoia, Glacier, Mount Ranier, and Rocky Mountain national parks.

The hiway into the most North East entrance of Yellowstone national Park.

Highway 64 from Farmington to Raton, New Mexico.

Highway 119 from Weston to Charleston, WV.

Highway 50 from Clarksburg, WV to Winchester, Va.

The three sisters (FM 335, 336, and 337) near San Antonio, Tx.

The hiway into Hyder, Alaska and beyond up to Salmon Glacier.

Can't say what the 10 best are, but take Deal's Gap off that list. Loved Cherohala, but not Deal's Gap.

I second those who nominated 33 in WV - hilarious fun that more than made up for bailing like a wuss on the Shenandoah 500 after Sunday lunch. Isn't that the one they call the Baby Dragon?

Whoever said California 198 Generals Hwy is a sadist.

Glad someone mentioned Lolo Pass.

I will through in the best in KY maybe, Black Mtn (160) over into VA. check out these sexy curves

When you are in the Smokies skip the Tail of the Dragon and ride rt 32 from Cosby up over the dirt dragon.

Arkansas does suck, nothing to see there. I go back 3 times a year just to remember how bad it sucks


While on the CDR in '07 we found NM Hwy 152 by accident. We had bailed east to I-25 and Truth or Consequences due to mud. Took 152 back to Silver City to catch the CDR route.

------ My short list -----------
California:
-Piuma
-Schueren
-Stunt road
-Saddle Peak
-Tuna Canyon -- a one way barrel of monkeys!
-Las Flores
-Latigo Canyon
-Decker Canyon
-Deer Creek / Sycamore Canyon road -- on a supermotard
-Mulholland Highway

-Glendora Mountain / Ridge roads
-Baldy road
-Highway 243 from Banning to Idyllwild, then down the 74 to Indian Wells
-Highway 138 through Crestline, then down Rim of the World highway

-Avoid Angeles Crest Highway like the plague! Far too many stupid drivers and squids on sportbikes.

Pretty much any road near a national park in Utah

[Jim Moore]

The mere thought of Hwy 12 in Utah nearly makes me weep with joy.

I agree, Cherohala is much better than Deal's Gap. A dirt favorite is the loop road around Linville Gorge in NC. My quick homey ride favorite is Bear Creek Canyon road up to Squaw Pass road at Evergreen and on up to the top of Mt. Evans at 14,000+.
