    I've been in my current house for four months, and I don't have a new local favorite yet.
    Here's a placeholder if nothing else, from an earlier time.

          Well, in Trevor's defense.
          When you ride 20,000+ miles a year, and you frequent the Moab area often.
          It might as well be a favorite local road...

          But yeah, there got to be a favorite road that is closer to home living in the PNW.

          81 1100e Street Bike (with race engine)

                  sigpic2002 KLR650 Ugly but fun!
                  2001 KLR650 too pretty to get dirty

                  Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                        Geez! You guys need to move to a big city, and forget all about that 'space' and 'beauty.' I recommend Manhattan island.

                          Leonard road is a local road that is nice because it curves some to follow river and has a few elevation changes over little creeks and up/down valleys and such. Is where many of my roadside pics come from, but thinking about it, I dont recall specifically avoiding roadsigns nor specifically including road signs, and didnt find any pics with road signs.

                          One end of Leonard Road is about 4 miles away, and it somewhat follows the Grand River all the way to and into Grand Rapids. So if I have a an hour and half or so, I can ride most of the way to Grand Rapids and then back, and include Leonard Rd in the loop one way or the other, or both ways.

                          Did go on such a ride Monday (See "Go for ride").
                          I noticed that scenic intercections where I have gotten pics before, the road sign were away from the scenic view. So it wasnt that I had been avoiding them. I had to go to some effort to find a scenic view with a road sign.





                          Leonard Rd & Linden Rd.

                            This is a tough one for me. There are no great roads near me.

                              That was in 2018 returning home from a trip. The I had shorted the turn signal many years before and that one broke. I was riding pretty quickly on the highway to outrun the rain. When we stopped for lunch the rain caught up and came down in buckets.

                                Good. It just looked like some minor damage/fairing rash from a recent spill that i hadn't heard about.
