Route 66. Several nice sections especially between Kingman & Oatman, AZ. Hairpins & switchbacks in that stretch. Enjoyed everyone’s cool pic.s & the maps.

That whole drive is worth it for the views alone. I actually prefer to drive it slow haha.

Oatman is awesome. Never took paved roads over to it but the ones I saw looked pretty fun for sure.

its pretty flat and straight in Texas. the only place everyone says that might be fun with a little twist and elevation is the hill county part of Austin.
west of the dallas/ft worth area is hwy 4. it doesn't look like much on the map, but is one of the best / fun roads in the tx.

it's a favorite of many car and bike enthusiasts in the metroplex. it winds down and around with some cliff faces on one side and a steep wooded drop-off on the other.

there are 2 sections with a long straightaway in between. palo pinto lake is at the bottom and the twisties continue past that with other country roads you can take. i almost bought a lakehouse there years ago, but was outbid.

i ended up on a nicer lake closer to civilization, but often wonder how fun it would have been to daily that road to work...then again i might not be here today...
