Hi guys/gals,
This road, is the one that cures most of my stress. I filmed while driving with my cellphone. Once I get a cam and support sys, I'll get better video.
Hope you like it!!!

Here's one of my favorite roads. It's not the best road around here (by far), but it's our hooky ride loop and has a special place in my heart. The vid is from a moderately-paced lunch time hooky ride from four years ago. Strange to see how differently we rode then (Michael says watching the vid is like looking at a high school yearbook [laugh]). Michael Moore is filiming. Mostrobelle's ass is in the shot. Enzo's in front of her and I'm leading.

one of my favorite roads not five minutes from my house, not my vid though.... part one.
Lime Creek road 3-29-09 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Wd76JD6iTg#lq-lq2-hq-vhq)
part 2. You can't tell from the video but it circles around Lake Travis in the hill country, it's really beautiful country.

This is a nice way to access the BRP. NC151 once it gets twisty.

NC197 isn't bad either. Too bad there's 5 mile of gravel

Man, NC looks like it has some killer roads.
Which is why I'm visiting there when I get back to the states. [moto]

I know the western end does. A couple have gravel sections, but if you don't mind a little adventure riding an awesome time can be had all over western NC.

(country roads/rural roads) Zanesville Ohio Route 555 (lots of curves for about 50 miles) and Marietta Ohio Route 26 (Lots of long curves). Best I can find so far near me since everything else is really just straight-ways.
I forgot to mention, watch out for the gravels in some spots and ofcourse if you get off the course you will end up in the barbed wires (Just talked to a dude that got injured by barbed wire [jacket was damaged but ofcourse helped him and the helmet but he still got scarred in his neck).
all my favorite roads are in norcal :-[
