Amazing Roads around the world

[mookieo2]

And this one is our local road with best view  
adriatic highway, Croatia 





 63, 8 km along the coast, full of turns  

That is a beautiful road. We did it last year. My wife's parents have a house in Zaton.  We drove from there to Dubrovnik. The roads on Hvar are pretty crazy too. I am planning on renting a bike in Italy next year and riding through the Dolomites and down to Dubrovnik if someone will rent me and a few friends bikes for that long.

Speaking of Dolomites that should be in here too. Someone post a pic.

I have a love/hate relationship with Rt 92 in Colorado. From above, it looks awesome. Then you get there, and realize there's a couple thousand foot drop, and no guard rails - they would spoil the view

Aaaaaaand they just chip-sealed a large portion of it.

But yeah, it's one of those roads where it's hard to appreciate the scenery because you need to devote all of your attention to NOT riding off the edge into oblivion.

Although, that would be a hell of a way to go...

Loving this thread!

Have to agree with Betty a bit regarding the hairpins. On the previously mentioned '89 Euro bike trip I finally gave up and removed the big tank bag from the Kawi Concours due to all the damn tight hairpin turns. Riding it two up and it not being the world's most nimble bike I just got tired of the bars being pushed into the tank bag at every switchback. Full lock one way then fulll lock the other way all in first gear. Hell, I've made wider u-turns in my garage!! I guess it would be fun for a bit by yourself on the right bike (motard!!) but it got real old real fast on the heavy Connie. A few tight ones are great as long as they are followed by good sweepers and great scenery.
