Get Your Motor Running: 10 Can't-Miss Motorcycle Rides.
Posting this because I think it would be fun, and in the spring we are buying a can-am spyder
so it will be a good starting point for us.
Get Your Motor Running: 10 Can't-Miss Motorcycle Rides
A motorcycle driving down a clssic motorcyle route.
Whether or not you were born to be wild, you and your motorcycle can't help but answer the call of the open road. Allstate motorcycle insurance offers policies to protect you and your bike so you can safely enjoy America's can't-miss motorcycle rides.
Beartooth Highway
This all-American road offers you a pass through three national forests on the highest elevation highway in Wyoming and Montana. Surround yourself with glaciers, tundra and alpine forests and then slip off into Yellowstone National Park to see the West at its wildest. This seasonal road closes in the winter, so plan for a trip in the spring or summer.
Blue Ridge Parkway
It's no wonder why the 469 miles of this road are known as "America's Favorite Drive." As the connection between North Carolina's Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Virginia's Shenandoah National Park, it's the most visited part of the United States National Park System. The maximum speed here is 45 MPH, making it all the easier to take in the scenic views.
Cherohala Skyway
Before 1958, the roads that connected eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina were only fit for covered wagons. Today, you can cruise above the clouds from Tennessee's Cherokee National Forest to the Nantahala National Forest in North Carolina, taking in views of Bald River Falls and Indian Boundary Lake on sweeping curves.
Tail of the Dragon
At the end of Cherohala Skyway, you're faced with some choices: do it all over again, take off on highway 69 or ride the Tail of the Dragon. Also known as Federal Highway US 129, the Tail of the Dragon was originally a heavily traversed buffalo trail and has since played host to moonshiners and adventurous motorists. Today, motorcyclists enjoy conquering the fabled 318 curves in 11 miles just south of the Tennessee/North Carolina state line.
Going-to-the-Sun Road
It's a national landmark, a Historic Place and a marvel of modern engineering through the heart of Glacier National Park and over the Continental Divide. As the only road through Glacier National Park, this winding two-lane road has plenty of scenic viewpoints along its 50-mile span, giving visitors plenty of opportunities to take in the natural wonders around them.
Great River Road
The mighty Mississippi is the guide for one of the longest and oldest scenic byways in North America, winding 3,000 miles through 10 states along the Mississippi River Valley.
Green Mountain Scenic Byway
ou think Florida is completely flat? The Green Mountain Scenic Byway will prove you wrong. It's only 12 miles long, but this road winds through the hills of the Lake Wales Ridge and along the shore of Lake Apopka. Riders can take in historical landmarks, endangered wildlife and the Orlando skyline.
Natchez Trace Parkway
Formerly known as "Old Trace," this 444-mile span of road is a piece of history that has been used by prehistoric animals, Native Americans, European explorers and settlers. There are plenty of reasons to get off your bike and explore: from Civil War battlefields to scenic views.
Pacific Coast Highway
California, here we come! From Morro to Monterey, this 110-mile stretch of California's famous Route 1 brings you breathtaking ocean views and a cavalcade of quintessential California scenery from Redwood forests to 18th century Spanish missions. Pack your SPF 30!
The Million Dollar Highway
It isn't paved with gold, but the 25-mile route from Silverton to Ouray, Colorado, began as a toll road to connect these two mining towns. The road is known for steep inclines, hairpin s-curves and a lack of guardrails, ideal for the adventurous rider. Riders will pass by the remains of the Idarado mine. What's that glittering? Is there gold in them thar' hills?
