It’s a good motorcycle website concept. Motorcyclists submit the best cruising roads, off-road tracks, fast and twisty mountain passes, long distance rides, etc and thanks to Google Maps you can decide and trace the route you want to take. And if your have a GPS device with you or your bike is equipped with one, the website offers you the possibility to download turn by turn your chosen itinerary. Anyone in the world can submit a place to ride, making MotoWhere more useful as more riders participate in this interactive experience. I just regret that the website interface is so unappealing. Come on guys! MotoWhere (thanks Mike Greenwald).

yes the site is really bland – i have seen a few others of these but have not really bothered with them too much – as I tend to ride spontaneously in which case i will ride local roads I know, or i will do a proper planned road trip which is based upon key sites or events more than a few nice turns. A good example I rode Tail of the Dragon earlier this year having heard it was one of the best roads in the US – it turned out to be the biggest motorcycle convoy of all time and i didn’t get out of first gear on a Steetglide – very dull- but any empty road with a few twists and some friends to ride it with will be far better.

Best Palce to Travel; Try this site in Upper Michigan. It up where Mi sticks up into Michigan.
It’s one of the most beautiful runs you could go on.Fortunatly I can go any time I want. If I could post a pic I would. There are several ways to travel in that peninsula and each one just as enjoyable. The roads are paved and in fraily good shape considering the winter here. we get about 300 inches of snow each year.

I meant where Mi. juts out into Lake Superior!! DEL
no place as beautiful as the Shenandoah Valley! God bless my beloved south!
Hwy 2 across northern Montana.
There are many awesome rides here in the states, but for me New Zealand has been the greatest so far.
New Zealand is motorcycling heaven. There just isn’t 1 single road or place that isn’t over the top. Be prepared to spend several weeks doing it as it’ll blow your mind with its diversity. It has everything the world has to offer in scenery but condensed down to the size of Calif. Don’t expect to blow through it in just a few days because it won’t happen
For me the Black Hills offers the best riding for the money. There are so many great roads available in such a compact area. Spearfish Canyon, Mt Rushmore, Custer State Park wildlife Looop, Needles Highway, Iron Mountain Road, Vanocker Canyon, Devil’s Tower, Crazy Horse Memorial and the Badlands National Park to name just a few of the main riding adventures. The scenery is breathtaking and the twisties are awesome. It is easy to spend 5 or 6 days riding the Black Hills and never be on the same stretch of road. The best part is you don’t have to wait till the Sturgis rally to enjoy it. In fact, I find the Black Hills more enjoyable when I have the roads to myself. Ride Safe!
rte. 2 berkshires of massachusettes is one of the most underated roads in america…but only really nice 6 weeks a years becuase of weather..im in florida now so i have to pitch my vote for a1a south from west palm to miami…30 mph along the coast best done on a full moon night with a pretty girl hanging on tight! ocean on the left mansions on the right..its a nice road
I live in Shropshire, England near the Welsh border. Check it out the roads there and in mid Wales on Google Earth. Sports biking heaven.
Kentucky’s Bourbon Trail, while not an exact trail route, includes narrow country twisties, major state highways and even some interstate travel. It is a series of highways that connect the state’s bourbon distilleries such as Jim Beam, Makers Mark, Wild Turkey, etc. Over 90 percent of the world’s bourbon is bottled here and many distilleries offer tours, have gift shops and restrooms, and of course the beautiful scenic hills and horse farms with rider friendly stops everywhere.
Cyril, a much better web site for motorcycle roads is: http://www.motorcycleroads.us/
Isn’t that was MyGreatRides.com has been doing for years too?
The whole area of western South Dakota and eastern Wyoming are incredible to ride, but my favorite is the Smokey Mts in the eastern Tenn, North GA, Western North Carolina area. Most riders know that area for the Dragon’s Tail, Cherohola Skyway, and Blue Ridge Parkway, but most of the roads in that area are heaven on two wheels for any rider that digs the twisties.
Plus you have Wheels Through Time Museum in Maggie Valley, NC which is incredible.
