The perfect road!
Well, near perfect anyway.
Virtually untraveled 2 lane highway with lots of curves, and a few straight stretches. With my car I get a little extra push at about 2700rpm, and in 3rd gear that's just where I'm at when I come out of most of the curves on this road. Ready to hit it and feel the joy! A couple of the straight stretches are long enough to go into 4th, and some of the curves are sharp enough where I need to shift down into 2nd. But for the most part I can just leave it in 3rd and enjoy the ride! |

I think most everyone has a memory of this perfect stretch of road. For me
it could be Perth Church Road or Shearers Chapel Road in Iredell County, North Carolina. > in someone's dreams..... ; ) Goes along with, where in the USofA can > you legally take a Viper out of third gear? > >>*sigh* >> >>and just where IS this perfect stretch of road? -- John ThunderSnake #59 |

I can think of a couple.... The Pacific Coast Highway/Rte 1/101 from
about Santa Cruz north, and the coast highway in Okinawa in an MG Midget flat out. Of course a deuce and a half on the highways between Cantho Province in the Mekong Delta and Saigon was filled with excitement...... now that was a rush!!!!

I'll try it. I'm always looking for some nice motorcycle trips close to home. That road looks like it would be nice. Thanks. Oh, I'll take the Mustang out there too!
