What is your all time favorite road? Please give the State, number or name of the road. Just a little about it, what town it is close to so we might find it on a map.

US12 from Lolo MT to Kooskia ID. Old picture form several trips ago. Usually I'm by myself when I'm there and there's no one to operate the camera. When you get to this sign traveling from Lolo MT you've already been riding for about 30 miles on nice twisty roads.

There are a lot more roads that I really like but the Lolo pass road is my favorite.

So far the best road I have ridden is HW 32 on the border of TN and NC, just west of I-40. No traffic at all, that's because the last mile of it is gravel on the NC end. I will be looking for a better road this year, but will go back to 32 every chance I get.

I think this was the road... I loved it.

33 from Ontario wisconsin through wild cat to Hillsboro Wisconsin was a fantastic road. Real smooth, beautiful scenery, lots of corners.

pure Zen.

Nice pic, JVS.

My favorite is HWY 14 from Omaha, Ar to Mountain View, Ar. For the way I like to ride, it's my favorite. Pure unadulterated, inappropriate, nanny nerve-racking, outlaw fun. Booya!

As I recall the first and only road I've turned around immediately three times just to ride it again.

Just South of Mt Judea, AR

North Carolina, Wayah Road. Its about 28 miles long, every kind of turn you can imagine, and the whole time (west to east) you don't realize you're climbing until you get to the switchbacks at the end. Just when you think you have the road figured out it changes.

Hana Highway, Maui.

A bit tongue in cheek but seriously Maui has some really fun riding roads. The caveat is you won't get much speed on narrow roads with hundreds of 90 degree corners and one lane bridges. I've been on Lolo, Gap, Arkansas roads, etc but the Maui ride remains my all time favorite for the uniqueness of riding through lava fields, through jungles, under waterfalls and literally from sea level to 10,000 foot high volcano. It was also cool taking breaks at pullouts where you can watch world class surfers taking on the biggest waves. You can rent bikes on the island but I was fortunate to have found a fellow ST1300 rider who lent me his.

So far...
Missouri 125. Just after the Peel ferry at the AR border. Might have been because it was early in the day? Or third day of the trip? Or just the radius and banking of turns made just for me? Everything was "just right". Closest I've felt to being "one" with the bike, etched in my mind as I seek more of the same.

I don't know if this was 125 Wade but this was somewhere around there!


AR Day 3-1 highway 125 MO

Thanks Matt! mmm...almost Zen..."The" section really imprinted on me was a bit more tree canopy shrouded than this section, at least in my memory of it

...but it still just put a bigass smile on my face to watch that.
Until we all get back to our favorite roads, or find new ones...

I always smile when I come to those "Crooked and Steep" signs in Arkansas. Lots of fun stuff down there. The only place I've ever had vertigo on a motorcycle - between the closed tree canopy and banked turns I had to stop and find the horizon again.

Most recent "best road ever" experience was in November

In Matt's video we start out westbound on Hwy 160 and turn onto northbound hwy 125. The road does get tree canopy a few more miles into it after the video ends. This is probably my favorite road in MO.

Mike wants to know my favorite all time road. $:-\$ That is really hard to say!

I'll go with Trail Ridge Road thru Rocky Mountain National Park. Not the twistiest or fastest road but it has incredible scenery and an ambiance that can't be beat.
