I would like to hear about your favorite rides local or otherwise. We are always looking for a new place to go. What better information than from a biker who's been there? |

I can tell you there is great riding in Texas. And I have just recently moved back to Missouri and have had some great rides here too. In Texas just see as much as you can and stay off of I-35 as much as possible. I was in Central Texas so I took back roads all over down there. There is great bbq at every turn. In Austin there is a huge Harley dealership, and of course 6th street. Nothing but bars and live music. In Missouri there is a lot of history to include old Route 66, the lakes, some of the best twisty's in the world in my opinion. You also want to ride to Arkansas as well. Had a good time in Eureka Springs. Lots of great scenery there along with good food. And plenty of places to stop in for a cold one. Have a good one and enjoy the ride. |

I live in Asheville, NC and have some of the best roads around here. From the "Tail of the Dragon" to the Cherohala Skyway and many more. If you're ever in this neck of the woods, let me know and I'll hook you up with some great rides. |

Too many great rides to list and no clear favorite other than I have to agree with hddiver that Utah is the most scenic. Sounds like a great idea for a book. ______________________ |

No question,...Southwest Idaho. Through the Nez Perce Indian Reservation, down through Hells Canyon and McCall toward Boise...Hundreds of miles of twisting roads, deep forests, and trout filled rivers. Traffic in September was light to non existant....I'm doin it again next year. |

My favorite local ride would be riding through the Santa Monica mountains above Malibu. There are just so many cool twistie roads, you can ride all day, and go back week after week, in this 30 mile x 30 mile square and never ride the same road twice. There are beautiful views of the mountains and the Pacific Ocean around every turn. And up toward the top of the mountain, there is a little bar & grill called the Rock Store. This is a pretty famous hangout for all types of bikes, from sport bikes, to touring bikes. And on any given weekend you may run into a celebrity taking their bike for a ride! The map below only shows about half the roads in the area. If they showed them all, it would look like a bowl of noodles. ______________________

Arkansas is my favorite destination .... Missouri is real nice too. Roads are okay here in TX, but so much better stuff out there :) ______________________ Mike N - My blog2003 VTX-1300S | 2007 CBR600RR | 2001 DR-Z400E Supermoto NovoWorks Graphics & Wraps ![]() |

I would say a great ride (my best so far) is in Southern Utah. Start in Hurricane on the 9 go through Zions National Park on the 89 turn on the 12 go to Bryce Canyon stay on the 12 through the Escalante Staircase National Monument to the 24 which goes through the Capitol Reef National Park. The 24 dead ends into the 70 go right and then head to Moab for some more parks like canyonlands and Arches. Really awesome views and good roads. |

I spent a couple of weeks around the Moab area last summer and the riding is great, the weather was perfect and the scenery cannot be beat... |
