wow... thats pretty awesome. they need to hold a IOM like race there.

china is a bit annoying for bikes though... not allowed to go on highways with them at all, you're stuck on local roads only. and there are restrictions on the size of the bike you can get, though shanghai just allowed large displacement hd's and duc's to be bought and licensed in the city. still no highway access though.

Dunno if it counts, cause I didn't find it online, but the Cabot Trail is pretty amazing.

If you're an American, you don't even need a passport to get there.*

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

ok should clarify. any pictures of a great road, but the shot should show a majority of the road from above.

Back in July 1989 my wife (now ex) and I rode for over 3 weeks through the Alps. Went with a group called Alpen Tours. It was owned by an American who was based in Denver for half the year then out of Horgen, Switzerland during the Euro riding season for his tour rides. He went out of business two years later when we looked into going back for the east Alps ride.

It was awesome! All through Switzerland, into France through Nice and Monte Carlo then crossing the border into northern Italy. Nothing but killer, 2 lane mountain roads staying in small, family owned hotels in small towns along the way. The ride ended in Interlaken, Switzerland then we slowed trailed home to Horgen to turn in the bikes. Best riding I have done or probably will ever do!

The damn ex kept all the pictures after we split and wouldn't even share them with me. She knew how much the trip meant to me and refused to even let me make copies. Just more of her evil BS! Evil

At least I have what's left of my memory of what I saw and looking at threads like this! waytogo

Great thread!! Keep it up. popcorn

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.
