What's your favorite road?

Mondo1287 · 07-24-2006, 01:16 AM

Mine is what I think is Southern Indiana's mini dragon, SR 446 just outside of Bloomington. Its a beautiful drive through a dense forest with a ton of hard turns, and a drive across Lake Monroe. From looking at google maps it has 36 turns in less than 10 miles, plus the lanes are pretty wide so you can definitely push your car hard. After the curves are some wide open long straightaways that never have any traffic on them. Its a very popular road for bikers and I see some nice cars on it occasionally.

Used to be PCH back when I was riding my old CBR600F2 alot. Now that highway seems to have gotten out of hand in the crowded department.

The 476 (Northeast extension) when there is very little traffic. Because I know where the cops hide on it and when there aren't many cars around I can fly like a bat outta hell.

PCH is bitchin though. Or 70. I think it's 70. W/e the northern way across the country is. Beautiful drive through vegas, arizona, colorado, kansas, etc etc etc. I love drivin cross country.

I used to love driving on the PCH, but Mulholland Drive in LA was awesome too.

Skyline Drive/ Blueridge Parkway is a nice drive.

In the winter there isn't much traffic and you will see many hot cars out having a joy ride. During the fall go to admire the scenery as it is too packed to really drive with gusto. (Not that that is a problem because the views are stunning and you won't want to blow by them.)

Be advised if you ever find yourself on it, they are pretty heavily patrolled. I got pulled there (so far my only time for doing something wrong) and thank goodness the Ranger was nice about it. (He knew it was a case of father and son having a spirited driving session in dad's car) I now have the warning citation framed in my room.

Skaggs Springs Rd in Northern California. After 30 minutes of i-VTECing, you get tired. lol

road up to arrowhead, ca...

***Chase*** · 07-24-2006, 06:26 AM

theres a Long Road I think its called US380 between Carizozo NM and Soccoro NM, its long 90mi, Flat and fast, and there arent many police on it, my second favorite is the road between Flagstaff and Sedona AZ, 89a. The roadswitches back and forth down a mountain, its a 45 minute drive at the speedlimit. However one night in 2003 my best friend and I raced down there and made it in 18 minutes in my 88 Accord and his 87 Integra.

Definitely Going from Highway 27 in Woodland Hills, Ca to PCH to Decker Rd to Mulholland. Also like to take highway 33 by Ojai, Ca. I always find myself racing motorcycles on HWY 33. Took the road just yesterday and ran a yamaha mortorcycle going uphill, I kept up to him but my tires suck badly now so I had to slow down. I have 21,000 miles on my original all seasons. Time to change the tires!!!.

290 West - Going towards Austin. Simple, long, and in the country area.

Absolutely no contest! All roads must bow before the Tail of the Dragon!
