According to Motorcycle Roads readers/subscribers. Do you agree? How Many have you been on? Is your favorite road missing? I can say I have been on 7 of the top 10. Do you agree the the best twisty in the whole United States of America is in... Well you'll need to head on to the site answer these questions.

GREAT link, @ski !!!
After so many years spent in search of the elusive twistie, I was a tad disheartened to learn that I have only done about 35 of these listed roads (albeit some many times)!
Some listed I've done were a surprise and not in my personal twistie list. Some of my favs did not make the list.
I now see that there is MUCH much twisties to locate and many places yet to ride!
I have bookmarked this link for future ride planning.
THANK YOU!!!

My biggest bike goal this year is to spend 4-6 weeks on the west coast. 3-4 weeks in California. Going to hit many of the roads found at motorcyclemaps.com. I plan to trailer and ride an area returning to the start point daily. I can sleep in my work van. 6 weeks of motels would break my little bank. And I belong to the Y for my showers. Just gonna hop around starting in the San Bernardino Mts. and aim in a northerly direction.
 

Let me know when you have an itinerary date set.
If I be around, perhaps we could hook up.
There be lots a gooduns in WA & OR as well as CA.
Do NOT miss CA 36 west, 3 north to Hayfork and 299 east to Redding!

Looks like you could hit both of those in a short day. I see your in Tacoma. When I drove the big trucks, we had a terminal in Sumner. Another in Richmond Ca. Last one in Oconomowoc Wisconsin. Drove that I-5 corridor many times. Now it's time to play on the side roads.
 

That 36 ride is just a part of a days ride.
 
Dont feel bad Bull. I probably only have done maybe 4 or 5 of them. Im not a big twisty rider, at least not anymore. I now prefer a nice straight waterfront road like A1A here in Florida. And I am surprised that Mt. Washington in NH isnt on the list. That was one great road to ride up on. Last time I was up there on a bike was in 1978. It was 55 on the ground and 28 up on top.
 
Thanks for the link Ski. I will also put that in my favs. @1olbull I fished that Ross lake many years ago when I was a kid. That highway 20 has got be a nice ride across the top. I'm sure you have done it. Al

That's called the North Cascades Highway. A very sweet ride across the top of Washington.
Have ridden it many, many times in all ranges of weather.
