Highway 11 in South Carolina, also called the Cherokee Foothills National Scenic Byway. It 112 miles of twisting road with rolling hills, situated at the foothills of the mountains that border SC and NC. I grew up 1/4 mile off of this road, so I'm definitely partial, but car, bike and motorcycle cruises have been going on there for years. It's got a lot of nice turns with proper progressive banking.

Richard B. Russell Scenic Highway is a short stretch in the North Georgia mountains that is damn fun. They just repaved half of it and it's smooth as glass. Normal take my car up there, but hoping to get the bike up there soon.
 
Yeah, SC 11 is pretty good. A litttle busy on the weekends. I like 176 up to Ceasers Head too.

Richard Russel Raceway is a good one too. I only get to do that one when I'm down at The British in the Blueridge rally in Hiawasse.

My fav, NC 215 from Rosmon to Waynesville.

Locally?
Down here in Very Southern Louisiana, the roads are flat and mostly straight. To quote a buddy of mine... "When the elevation of a road drops, you end up in a Swamp. When the elevation of a road rises, it's because someone built a bridge over the Swamp" ;)

Roads here are nothing compared to what most of y'all are used to. But some entertaining roads for the area are:
LA-22 between Hammond and Gonzales gets fairly twisty. This is a very popular road with the Squids and the Bar Hoppers. So LEO presence is often high. Ride safe and ride smart, and you won't draw attention.
LA-307 between Raceland and Vacherie gets twisty as well. It's a little bit lesser known, which translates to less traffic. However, the Lafourche Parish Sherriff lives on 307, so you don't want to act like an ass there either.
River Road- pretty much anywhere. I find River Rd to be the most entertaining for relaxing rides. It follows the river so it's mostly lazy sweepers. But it's tons more scenic with the sugarcane fields and antebellum homes.
 
I haven't been on the North Georgia roads yet. NC 215 is a good one for sure. I've been on 276 a lot more because of where I lived and where I was going. Hwy 11 connects right up to 276. I've also been to Toxaway a lot, which is right there around 215. I do like the mountains roads, but you can get much better speed on roads like Hwy 11. We got our VW to 138 mph on the 11 before the front end started to float. That's a road we used to test on all of the time. Things have changed a lot since then though. Definitely a lot more cops. I lost my license 3 times because of my antics around those parts. :p
 
I live 10 minutes from the northern end of highway 2(angeles crest) but I think I like Mulholland from the rock store to
kanan a little better.if there were no po po though these roads would be a lot more fun.
 
The mountain section of the famous Isle of Man TT course...it's one way traffic during the TT festival, there are just about no junctions, you just have to dodge a few four wheelers.

Silver Thread Highway in Colorado. Amazing road, great pavement. Just watch out for the rental rv'ers.......oh and don't fall off the cliff.
 
Sorry, I don't know yet how to load my GOPro stuff. I'm incredibly lucky to live where I do. I live in SoCal, north of L.A. and have countless roads to ride. Decker if you want a gazillion turns coming out to the Pacific Ocean. Deer Creek if you want a dozen or so road conditions thrown at you. Mulholland if you want everything from long sweepers to the short technical corners of the "Snake". If that doesn't do it, how about starting up Encinal and within a mile being hundreds of feet above sea level on very fast sweepers that never seem to end. The orchard roads of Fillmore and Santa Paula, the farm roads behind Moorpark. Bradley, Balcom, Grimes. These are all less than 20 minutes from my front door. And the kicker is, 350+ days a year of true riding weather... There are dozens of roads I didn't even mention and dozens more I don't know the name of. For riding, it truly is paradise....

Ahh Bill don't get me wrong Im new here and know this site covers the world, We are TRULY lucky to live in California and the riding is SECOND TO NONE! My problem is I live on the Coast in orange county and have to truck my RD to most canyons. My intent was to hear stories and see pics of other members favorites!
Superbowl Sunday on Glendora Mountain road... That lil green Rd goes just fine against these young guns! ;)
