The most beautiful place to live and ride in the fall is The Upper Peninsula of Michigan along Lake Superior when the trees are turning and M-117 from Mackinaw City to Petoskey Through the "Tunnel of Trees" in the Lower Penisula of Michigan.

Charles Shelley, 53, Chesterfield Mi., 02 Goldwing 1800,85 Honda 700 nighthawk

Any state with lots of open road, country fields, and the smell of being alive while two-wheelin'!!

John A. Bertels, 45, Cortlandt Manor, NY, 2006 Suzuki SV650S

backfire is hard to find on the new website page??? it hasn't changed in days??? this stinks!!!

Don Fraser, 61, Garden City, Michigan, 1942 H-D WLA, 2005 H-D Ultra

backfire is hard to find on the new website page??? it hasn't changed in days and I have tried to refresh??? best place to ride, in the front of the saddle on any motorcycle..

Don Fraser, 61, Garden City, Michigan, 1942 H-D WLA, 2005 H-D Ultra

Im not sure what the best place is to ride, but I know that anywhere, even the NY city area can be a joy to ride in the early morning hours when few cars are on the road. Early am crossing the NYC bridges is pretty cool.

Tim C, 41, Kings Park, vstar 1300

anywhere!

claire moser, 48, louisville,ky, honda shadow

anywhere you can ride, but I prefer the USA. No passport or translator or guide required.

Nick Puluso, 67, Wayne, N.J., '05 Honda VTX 1300 & '06 Honda 1100 S

Los Angeles, CA. Hey, laugh all you want, but if you can stay alive on the roads here, then you can fully enjoy just about everywhere else as being an easy ride. All beginning riders should spend a few weeks here in the first 6 months they are riding. You'll appreciate any other roads (and traffic) once you've ridden in LA. (Same holds true for learning to drive a car, but in New York...)

Gregg, 35, Levittown, NY, 2002 Star Custom 650

Yes I'll say it! Illinois. When the crops are coming in it is beautiful. Small towns and old barns galore. When you are tired of the flatlands find a river. The Kankakee, Illinois, Mississippi and many others have great roads along side. (Oh, and it is handy cause I live here)

Ron Walker, 53, Diamond, FLHRC, XR400R

Anywhere along or near the HWY 101 corridor north of San Francisco. Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino and Humboldt Counties in particular. The riding up here is so awesome, magazine articles frequently feature rides right in our own backyard!

Chris Daniels, 48, Santa Rosa, CA, Aprilia, BMW, Ducatis & Honda

I love New Hampshire!! From my house the beautiful White mountains are one hour away. The coast is 10 miles, Massacussettes 14 miles, Maine 5 miles, Vermont 80 miles, all country roads or highway if I need to get ther in a hurry. We even have Laconia Bike Week!! Check it out!!

Jean Psyhos, 55, Stratham, NH, 2001 Vulcan Kawasaki 1500

N GA, WEST TENN,eastern N.C. Deals Gap, (aka THE DRAGON) Smokie Mtns. I've been on the west coast, that is some pretty riding, Southern Calif. But I have to say N.C. and that area is the most beautiful and FUN. Just ride careful, and enjoy. That is where I have had the most fun in the saddle ALLDAY.

Colorado! 4 seasons every month. Ride to the one you want.

Sparky & Bear Rauschke, 52, Buena Vista, CO, TW 200, BMW R1200GS, BMW 650GS

Golly good ole England the place to be. I love a good ride through the country side to my favorite pub for a spot of tea and some tasty crumpits. I don't like helmets, i much prefer my tophat. Long live the king...!

Gilbert, 42, Liverpool, cafe racer

About eighteen inches behind the handlebars, every day, and certain star-lit nights.

John Poynter, 61, Stagecoach, Nevada, 2001 Kawasaki Nomad 1500FI

Any place that has nice roads, twisties, and awesome scenery. Of course, that's the West coast.

Brandon, 26, Seattle, Ninja 636

The good old USA. Safely roam from coast to coast, find whatever style you like (twisties, mountains, desert, mud, wide open spaces, or cities) on (mostly) great roads. No passport or translator necessary.

Chris W, 42, Springfield, IL, '06 FJR1300A, 04 TTR-225

This whole Country is great, but, there is no where like Texas. We have it all--Plains, Gulf Coast, Mountians, and the awesome Hill Country. Come see the real West. Come ride God`s Country.

Ron Gandy, 55, Crockett, Texas, HD FLHTC---Triumph Bonnville

Kanab, Utah is billed as the "Greatest Earth on Show" and is within an hour of three National Parks. Zion NP is my favorite for vistas, roads and weather.

Lenny Domyan, 61, Kanab, UT, 2007 FLSTC

West Virgina is Almost Heaven of course. Those boys know how to build some great roads for motorcyclists. On RT 50 from Clarksburg to the MD line on a couple of turn I passed my own tailight. On one turn I think I passed it twice or was that 3 times.

Mike Calhoun, 53, Cumberland, MD, Yamaha Venture

Upper east Tennessee, we've got the ideal climate, not too hot or cold most of the year. Roan Mountain, Blue Ridge Parkway, smokey mtns. hwy 421, 321, 129 are great roads. You can be in Canada or key west via scenic roads in one long riding day. Coal fields with rustic roads are nearby. Lots of lakes to meander around.

Mark Hodges, 47, Piney Flats, TN 37686, 1999 1100cc Honda Shadow Spirit

Anywhere, everywhere. Ride to any and all locations. Thats why your a motorcyclist right? Doesn't matter where you ride to, just RIDE!

Rich McKinney, 49, Denham Springs, La., '02 ZRX1200R, '04 Concours, '75 Z1 900,

Georgia -- a few hours to the coast; some of the greatest mountain roads to the north with a couple hours access to other great mountain roads in the Carolinas, northern Alabama, and Tennesse; lots of great rural riding. All this and year-round riding weather for all but a couple weeks at most.

Robert Judy, 60, Winder, GA (northeast of Atlanta), YZ400 Yamaha Majesty

The good old U.S.A.! We have it all - Deserts, Mountains, and Plains. Combine the great American roads likes Route 66 and US 6 with local resturants, motels with neon, national parks and roadside attractions. There is nothing better!

Cole Mills, 40, Cherry Hill, NJ, Triumph Daytona 1200 & 2 BMWs

Southern Mo. gateway to the Ozarks and all those windey (winedy or winedie or ???) roads.

Dan Nelson, 56, Charles Ctiy, IA, KTM EXC 525

To me the coolest place in the world would be Robbinsville, NC. This is a motorcyclist's heaven with all the twisty roads through the mountains and rivers. Sport bike or cruiser, this is a place you could ride for weeks and not get bored.

Norman Johnson, 46, Dublin, GA, ZX-6 Kaw

When theres no snow this state rocks. Road America is so much fun during race week. There is no bad ride.

Joel Patrick Brandt, 58, Mercer WI, Wing, CBR1000F, few others

Southern Germany. Well maintained roads that don't have a straight line longer than 1/2 mile. Alps within a short distance. A culture that respects motorcycling. And three hour dinners where the waiters don't try to push the check on you to get you out the door.

Seamus, 33, World Traveler, CBR1000, VFR800, FMX650

Auburn, Washington. 2 hrs to the coast, 1 hr to the mountains, 2 hrs to the dry side, and you can ride all year here, with a good set of rain gear.

David Foxley, 55, Auburn, WA, 04 Ultra Classic, Honda 750a

So far the best I've found is Beartooth Hwy and Cheif Joseph Hwy in NW Wyoming. Simply amazing!

Ed Toll, 44, Louisville, KY, V Star 1100 Classic

oregon, you have deserts, mountains and coast.

al danton, 48, PRINEVILLE, 80 xs 1100 special, 85 700 maxim x

I didn't know it at the time that the best place to live was on my parent's farm in Hazen, ND. I had over 1800 acres of the best hills and trails to ride in with no waiting. I would step out of our house, onto my bike and ride all day. My brother and I would spend the entire day on our bikes. I still go home to ride and now it is with my son who has also grown to love riding.

Dwight Albers, 47, Coon Rapids, RM 250, GSXR, 600 RM85

Believe it or not.. Minnesota! Although seasonal, there's nowhere with more of a variety of scenic rides and varying landscapes. And don't forget those lakes too! As a resident and seasonal motorcyclist for some 30 years, putting the bike(s) away for the winter only to experience the thrill of another new riding season also make it the best place to live & ride!

Jeff Sandberg, 57, St. Paul, MN, Kawasaki Nomad 1500

California Central Coast Highway 1 all the way from S.F. to Big Sur. I ride part of it every day to and from work. No better place to ride then in your own backyard.

Robert Musgrove, 40, Salinas ,CA, 07 FZ6

I've been fortunate enough to ride many great roads in different regions of our great country. First among the best are those in the Smokie Mountains -- go out my driveway and turn right and they are all there for the day, the week, or a month of good time riding.

D. Walker, N/A, Townsend TN, FLHRCI, FLH,FLSTN,K75C,KZ900LTD,Trident,

Anywhere with turns, the gold country, highway 1, any road along side of a river. All are in my back yard.

Al Enos, 64, Ripon CA, 2000 H/D Sportster, 2003 Buell XB9S

Dee, 50, Stratford, CT, Vulcan 1500, ZRX1100

Spain. Mountains! There are too many to mention. They even have a festival on the second weekend of January where people from many countries come to enjoy riding in the cold. It is called "Pingüinos" (Penguins) and it is the craziest of times. With the support of the National Police and the towns and cities where it takes place. Google the "Turismoto" and check out the videos of the past several years. I'm packing my bike for next year!

Luis Diaz, 52, Chester, Honda Shadow 750 and 1100, Suzuki GS500F

I can't see how one could overlook New Mexico for great places to ride! Pretty much year round riding, Mountians, great winding roads, deserts, a lot of lakes and rivers to ride by and to. New Mexico, truly the Land of Enchantment! Did you see "Wild Hogs"? All filmed in New Mexico. Some really good runs as well - The Red River Run, the Fire & Ice Run are two good ones! And Always a GREAT turn out for the Christmas Toy Runs!

Todd, 49, Cochiti Lake, New Mexico, '73 X90, '79 FLHC, '89 FLSTC, '99 FLHRCI

Not Central Illinois! When you've seen one cornfield you've seen them all.

Lori Taylor, 40, Ferndale, WA, KTM 200 XC-W

Easy! - Washington state! We have a vulcano that actually blew it's top! Inland deserts, the Columbia river, Palouse falls, and the Pacific Ocean! Half of us ride the whole year, the other half rides 9 months out of 12!

Robert, 41, Yakima, Washington, Honda CB750 Nighthawk

When it comes right down to it, one of the best places in the USA for great riding is the great state of Pennsylvania. From early spring to fall foliage you cant beat the rural back roads of Pa.

Dave Q., 45, Central Pa., 2008 FXDF

any where there is a good road with a lot of curves the north west Washington, Orgeon

Wesley Frazier, 70, Culver, OR, 1998 Honda VT1100CT

Right here in The Ozarks. Twisty paved roads. Miles upon miles of gravel roads. Eyepopping scenery around every corner. Mom & Pop eateries just waiting to be experienced. But Hey! Ya'll probably wouldn't like it here. Really, just head for Deals Gap.

Jay Altazan, 53, Mountain Home, AR, 2000 BMW R1150GS

North Georgia, Eastern Tenn, Western N C, Western MD, Virginia down Skyline Drive, The Blue Ridge Parkway & West into West Virginia. All great riding roads. But watch the speed on Skyline Drive (Shenandoah NP).

Ronnie Stacey, 62, Shelby, N.C., 2006 Yamaha Road Star, 1980 Yamaha 850

Tennessee, Colorado, Idaho, Washington, Nova Scotia....I'm not sure yet. But, I'll keep riding all of 'em over and over until I figure that out. I'll throw in a few other countries just to be sure I'm not too N. American centric about the answer. I should have a definitive answer in another 20 or 30 years though.

Susan S., 45, Lowell, MI, 1996 Honda VT1100, 2004 BMW 1150RT

Dennis Gass, 51, troy,ohio, 2008 goldwing

Anyplace that is a comfortable ride from the ocean,some mountains (actally high hills on this side)and has other interested in the same. Golly, sounds like where I am, Maryland close to Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia.

Ed Kriston, 58, Westminster, Maryland, 1999 Royal Star Tour Classic

Rural America of course! No city folk complaining about noise, there's less traffic, its more peaceful, and the scenery is beautiful.

Clint Schultz, 27, Elliot, IL, 1977 KZ1000, 2003 Z1000

The french Alps. Hundred of kilometers with thousands of turns and hairpin turns. Except in winter… Otherwise, Utah, near Bryce Canyon, for the scenic Byway 12. Really great !

Pierre Orluc, 44, Paris, France, Kawasaki ZZR 1200

San Francisco, hands down. North, East, South so many epic twisty road rides from SF. And then there's the coast... Besides, you can ride 365 days a year in Northern California.

Boris, 77, Russia, Ural

California! I have the option to ride up the west coast or into the mountains of Big Bear, Wrightwood or Yosemite, plus hundreds more with streaming rivers, lakes and waterfalls. I live up in the desert so no place is too far to go, even Vegas or Laughlin, NV. I also love riding in Maui and on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Terri, 44, Adelanto, 2002 Yamaha V Star named 'Freedom'

Western TN and eastern NC. The mountains are beautiful and the roads are great.

Clint Philpot, 53, Cincinnati, OH, BMW R1150RT

San Diego CA is the best. Great riding is only a few miles east, not as much traffic as LA, and its warm enough all year long. Plus they're are cycle shops everywere.

Karl Fengler, 59, Meridian Idaho, 2005 Electra Glide - 95"

South Carolina! There's beautiful country roads lined with Live Oaks and Willows dripping with moss. We have two major racetracks within a few hours drive, beach-view cruises and exciting mountain rides equally close, and the coast highways of California are only a 2100 mile jog away!

Living in LA has its pros and cons, however, we are surrounded by the beaches, canyons and deserts of California. 60 degrees is considered "cold". It's a great place to ride, year-round!

John VanHimbergen, 59, Syracuse, IN, Kaw ZG1400, KTM 250XC-We

The south eastern United States is in my opinion the best place to be a motorcyclist. Trail, street and track, it's all there and with weather to allow year round riding. When I lived my wife and I did not own a car until we started a family and we averaged 20,000 miles a year in daily commuting and casual riding. The roads, country side, history and great people are every thing a motorcyclist could ask for.

John Richburg, 43, Austin, Texas, 2006 FJR 1300

Quito, Ecuador is the best place to ride bikes. You can ride in the highlands, with amazing landscapes, and very curvy roads. Muddy, sandy, or gravel roads, very nice for all type of riders. Is trully the best place on Earth to ride.

Andres Mateus, 30, Quito, Ecuador, Kawasaki KX 125

Colorado. Riding in the Rockie Mountains can't be beat. And the climate is terrific too - not full twelve months of riding but enough mild days in the winter to get a fix and you really appreciate it when summer riding comes back.

Don, 54, Fort Collins, Ducati ST2

I agree KY has some great roads. On a recent trip South, I was really impressed by Middle TN (rt 53 & 56). Nice sweeping turns, great road conditions, relatively light traffic.

Boise Idaho is perfect for me. We have great mountains, desert rides, deep canyon rides, high timber rides and lots of twistys in any direction. We have great off road trails and year round riding. Easy to avoid the freeways and congestion. When I roll out of the garage I only need a full tank of fuel and some idea of how long I want to ride a few hours or a few days.

I am pretty partial to the southeast US. We have lots and lots of great mountain roads that are challenging and/or scenic. We have a moderate climate that usually allows us to ride all year. I've lived here for over 30 years and still am finding new roads, and I ride 20 to 30K miles each year. What more could you want? Locally we have a strong vintage club and interest. That feeds my enjoyment of the old iron. And it's less than 8 hours to Vintage Days at Mid-Ohio and 5 hours to Barber.

Based on my own experience, the Appalachian Mountain area (Tenn., N. Car., Virginia, W.Va., Kentucky, Georgia). Based on magazines, etc., Europe with easy access to the Alps.
