As
a member of the military since 1986 and having moved 10 times in
my first 20 years, I've lived a lot of places and put a lot of miles
on motorcycles exploring different parts of the country and finding
out first hand the diversity of our country's roads. Any of you
who have spent a lot of time on a motorcycle know that "not all
roads are created equal" and there is nothing like a great motorcycle
road. Unfortunately for me, every time I moved, I was faced with
the sometimes challenging task of finding good motorcycle roads
in the new area. Making matters worse is that like many of you,
we find ourselves having less time to find good roads as family
and/or career responsibilities increase and free time decreases.
So back in 1999 I decided to start MotorcycleRoads.com as a way
for all of us to quickly and easily find quality motorcycle roads
in whatever part of the country we live in. And MotorcycleRoads.com
goes beyond just providing you with a list of roads to try … it
goes further by giving you as much information as we can about that
road often times including pictures or personal accounts of someone
who's taken the route. In fact, each of our road/route descriptions
provides you with information regarding a motorcycle road's three
most critical factors: scenery quality, road quality, and roadside
amenities.
Some
riders focus on roads that travel through areas with beautiful scenery.
Other riders want roads that challenge their driving skills and
allow them to push the capabilities of their motorcycle. And other
riders look for roads that offer plenty of things to do off the
bike for them and a riding partner or passenger. These people enjoy
roads that offer access to museums, shopping, parks or other forms
of entertainment. And, since every MotorcycleRoads.com route describes
and rates these three key qualities, you will be able to find roads
that match what you are looking for. Not only do we describe the
route but we give you vital information including directions to
and through the route (written directions and a map), we provide
you with demographics of the contributor such as name or nickname,
when the route was contributed, and the contributor's motorcycle
type. We also let you know the length of the route, tips about what
there is to see or stop at along the way, and even give you a link
to the route's real-time weather forecast (weather forecast for
the start or end point).

And
we get our road information from the best sources in the world --
riders like you and I who have traveled the route first hand and
know just what it has to offer. We are all out there finding great
motorcycle roads bringing them to MotorcycleRoads.com and placing
them at the fingertips of fellow motorcycle riders. For this reason,
we encourage you to keep the contributions coming in and help us
all increase our love and enjoyment of what only two wheels, an
open road, and the wind can provide!
