Hwy 229 in central California probably has been the most technical road I have been on. (The locals call it Rossi's Driveway)
But for the right side of my brain nothing beats hwy 101 Pacific coast.

seams like this has been done before.

AR. 128 is a blast (but eats bikes) 7 and 16 were also a lot of fun.
ID. 12 (LOLO Pass) is a great road too
CO. 92 and 149 and 141 are my favorite roads out there 550 (million dollar hwy) was not that good of a ride, to much traffic.
WY. 16 and and 14 over the bighorns and 443 was nice, 26/278 had a some awesome views of the East Tetons
MT. 116 might not have been to bad but it was raining and sleeting and 287 has some great views of the west side of the Tetons.
SD. 16 to WY., Custer State Park, Spearfish, 16a, 87
WI. SS is my fav, but really any of the alphabet roads in that area are fun.

writing this I realized that I have put some miles on the in the last few years.

OK Vince, my favorite road up here would have to be J Cooke, but that's gone now. So it would have to be the Delta Diner road and forest road 236, kinda on the same ride.

Opus Complex
I always hear about this place but have never gone there. Isn't there to many cars and cops there.

It's just northwest of 169 & crosstown in Minnetonka. It's a twisty one-way road system through an office park designed by pot smokers in the early 70's. Me thinks Paul is being facetious. Opus is a hot-spot for new riders who don't know any better. :)

These people have taught me more about riding than any day spent on a track: Larry B, Tony K, Vince J, Mr. Wonderful, V2Neal, Marty F, Kevin B, Devon W, Ehrich, Mike A, John L, Arnell, Kirk, Ray C

Track days are like climbing the rock wall at REI.
Perhaps I need to stop taking the high road.

Haha, yeah...Greg's got me pegged.

I'm not even sure it's still a draw for bikes.  I have ridden through it on occasion when I happen to be in the area and I never see any other bikes.  Back in the 80's, I used to ride through it frequently on my way to Frisbee (puff) Golf (puff) at Glen Lake.  Even then, there was an occasional bike but I never once saw any organized group terrorizing the complex.  I always wondered if it's reputation was just an urban myth.

I think it is just a myth. I have never seen another bike there when I was there.

I been there once for a few laps and it was dead on a saturday.  Had a loud bike at the time so I didn't feel comfortable being there and figured the cops would be called by the nearby neighborhood!  It's a fun loop I had forgotten where it was.
