Default You gotta drive this road !!! thread

I know there are roads out there that were made just for the -Z-.

It's that road that when you drive it, you think to yourself, this road IS AWESOME.

I'm sure that many of us would enjoy it too.

Well, don't keep it to yourself, SHARE IT !!

Here is one I drove back and forth on 4 times this past Sunday. It's paved, has many curves, it is in the mountains, light to no traffic:

In Braswell, GA

Norumbega Road--Weston/Waltham, MA...It's not especially long, but it's twisty as can be with little traffic.

For those of you in the Phoenix, Tucson area I fould one - going down I17- take the Maricopa Road west to the Mobile turn off - going north. There you have 20 miles of fun! Several series of those "washboard" dips - you come upon them and can see about 3 of them in a row, take them at 75 or 80 - fuN!!

I like this road:




Why not take it to the track instead of endangering other drivers.

Track suggestions are cool too.

Nobody said anything about speeding, breaking the law, or endangering others.

I'm just suggesting that we share fun places to drive.

Keep 'em coming!

i know your guys mean no harm by posting these roads online, but it would be smarter to do it through pms because these posts give cops a headsup of where to look, also that and bikers always surf forums to find good roads to roadrace. They ruin all the fun...jst my 2 cents, i dont mean to offend anyone.

The road going up Signal Mountain and back down the W roads then threw Hison pike to downtown Chattown, cross the bridge go threw the city into the tunnel up Brainered road. Then proceed back to the freeway to head back up the Signal Mountain. Its about a 30 minute lope. Worth the drive if you live close. Even more enjoyable on a Sport Bike. Lots of hill and curves.

I need a favor, there is state road 180 near Suches in northern GA (see map) My co-worker says this road is better than the Dragon, steeper banks, and where the "Big Boys" play??? Unknown road, smooth pavement, and lack of authority. He said that it was the best road he had ever ridden on his bike. He said that if you start from Vogel State Park the first 6 miles are VERY intense, then it opens up to alot of high speed sweepers. If you get a chance, check it out and report back! He usually isnt wrong on things like this.
Check Yahoo maps and type in Suches, GA
