Oh, and, nice pic of the 1098. Anyone know what sort of camera settings get that effect, or is that Photoshopped to give road blurred and bike not?
And, while I'm asking questions, what's the best online resource for marking rides on a map (like Google Maps), with comments and points of interest? Google Maps can do it, but are there better tools? The one that they link to (ZeeMaps) kinda sucks, in my opinion, but not because I have found something better.
Thats great for crotch rockets but I'll take the old back country roads with my Harley Road King!

John, Harley's can handle these rodes as well (my old Sportster loved them)... its your lack of riding skill that keeps you on the back roads.

That's all nice, but there are enough good roads around here that I can get to, ride, and make it back home from in a single day, that it's hardly worth the bother to try to get to the others. You'll notice that the first three on their list are all within about 100 miles of here.
Now if it just weren't so hot this week...
I'll just have to leave as the sun is coming up and get back by 10:00 or so.
I'm jealous of all the great roads you guys have in CA. I've only been able to find small stretches in NY area.
