What’s the best bike road you’ve ever ridden? Come on, it’s a simple enough question. We all have favourites, and sometimes those favourites are not at all what someone else might expect. For example, my favourite movie is Julie and Celine Go Boating, or Phantom Ladies Over Paris. Never heard of it? It’s your loss. But I must admit that I’m the only person I know (or have ever heard of) who even likes this film.
So we’re not going to impose anything on you. In the interest of democracy, we’re going to ask you to vote instead. Oh, and I do understand that your “favourite” road might not necessarily be the “best” road you’ve ridden. If there is conflict within your mind about this, and I imagine that, as always, there will be for some people, go for “best”.
Ready to rock? Just answer this question:
What is the best motorcycle road you have ever ridden (anywhere in the world)?
Answers will appear on this website. Make sure you identify the road properly. For example, you might write “Silver City Highway (B79), NSW Australia, Wentworth to Broken Hill”. You might, but we hope you won’t because that road is so boring we’re falling asleep just thinking about it.
Okay? All set? Get your answer in soon and we’ll announce the results on this website and possibly in ARR.

The road that gets my vote is the Lake Plimsoll road that runs between Queenstown and Tullah in Tassie.
Beautiful flowing corners the wind their way through the mountains, race track smooth road surface, no traffic and awesome scenery make this a road that you just want to do again and again!
The other is the coast road from Mount Gambier To Sydney with high light being of course The Great Ocean Road.
Most of my long distance runs are two up and pulling trailer with a '99 Honda ST1100ABS which I've had for just on four years. Not to many bikes anywhere on the planet that I know of will do 400 plus kms to reserve two up pullng a trailer at 95 to 100 kph.
