    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Stumbled across this the other day in my never ending quest for nice roads to ride and couldn't find any reference to it through a quick search here. I've found it both fun and useful thus far.

www.motorcycleroads.us
 
Checked out that site and Illinois only has a total of 54 miles of what they consider twisty roads:( Longest stretch was 25 miles

From what I've ridden of Illinois, that may be accurate Dave!;):p
 
Doesn't appear terribly complete, it doesn't even have Tennessee 232 (AKA the Little Dragon) which is one of the best roads in Tennessee outside East Tennessee.

I'm partial to this site for roads/routes.

I noticed the Google Maps displayed on the site aren't necessarily the route described/desired. I checked several routes in my area and 2 didn't match as Google Maps selected the major road route between the end points, rather than the twisty road desired.

[Specifically:
- WA-410 between Enumclaw and Yakima, Google Maps puts you on US-12 instead
- Forest Road 52 between Ashland and Packwood, rather goes though Mt Rainier NP to WA-123 to US-12. BTW, I drove this road in Oct and would not recommend it for a motorcycle due to dangerous potholes and bad pavement]
 
It may not be complete, but you can at least maybe get some ideas from it. Further investigation would be required on any of these, I think. For example this one, I know is one lane for about half the length. No mention of that. A fun little road, and kinda scenic, but I wouldn't recommend it for twisty carving. I suppose I should contribute by saying so on the site.
