Back side of Mt Lemmon outside of Tucson, AZ

Good thing the gate was unlocked and that tree across the road was cut up! And the cattle didn't rush me...

+1 on Mt. Lemmon.  I was at Davis-Monthan AFB for a summer and brought my Bandit along - went up and down that mountain road a few times a week.  Just make sure you have enough gas..... 35 miles up and 35 miles down with no gas station at the top...

Needles is great but almost a little toooo tight and those damn RVs!  That section of Beartooth looks fantastic, would love to make it out there.

The best road in the black hills is the Vanocker Canyon Road aka CR26, many do not know of it.  It goes from Nemo down the mountains into Sturgis.  Outstanding road quality and generally no traffic.  Not as tight as some of the other roads but it's 20 miles of banked sweepers with views along the perimeter of the hills. 

I wish I had taken pics but I was busy riding when I was on it.

They paved that road the last time I was there and it was nice as a class 5 dirt road. Now that it is paved every one takes it.

Loved this curve at Mid-Ohio. County 14 (IIRC) going south out of Fontana Village, NC is one of my all-time favorites. Have a pics of it, but non-digital!

I have to get out with you guys more often than I have been able to this season.
Next season is the start of my "official" (per say) 2nd season since I had a half of one in 2009

That summer & the one of 2010 were two of my best summers on bikes & I put the most miles on my bikes during the 2009 & 2010 seasons at just over 34k + miles in two seasons.

Personal best for me & I hope if I keep riding (and actually making it to the rides lol) that I'll be able to keep that pace or more in the years to come.

I came to this place via the old yahoo group thru a couple people I knew while working at the HP in SSP & other local forums.

It was due to those people, as well as new people I met on here since the forum was started, that I have been having a blast riding with this group.  I've learned a lot & hope to continue to learn more.

Of course I know this has a lot to do with my schedule but I've been disappointed in having to back out of some rides this season.  Many of the favorite roads mentioned here are on my list of places to go for sure!!

The ones I can share I've been on are the road thru the Angeles National Forest running either direction.  Below is one of the pics since I did have it on that trip.

I have also been on parts of the famous Mollaland Drive as well.  Just wish I could have gotten pics but didn't have one on that trip.

What is touching down on your ZX6 to produce the sparks?

sparklers?

Roger hooked me up with those sparklers. Actually they were bottle caps sewn onto my leathers for that effect. Cool, eh?

Actually, lean indicators on the pegs is all I remember dragging around. Not aluminum I guess.
