I've ridden 5 of their top 10.

Although the Pig Trail is nice, it's not even in my top 5 favorite rides in Arkansas!

While the 3 Sisters is the best ride in TX, I don't at all see how that would beat out The Blue Ridge Parkway or the Dragon (or the Snake in Kentucky, or even Hwy 28 from Deal's Gap going down into Georgia!)

Any of these your favorite? Any other favorites that should have made the list?

    I've ridden 3 of their 10.

    The Skyway is a really nice ride, I really like 28 as well, and have also been on the Snake. Warwoman Rd. off of 28 is also pretty good if you like the twisty stuff.

    Did the Dragon back in August.

    I'm lucky enough to have the NC mountains 100 miles from my backyard. Although The Dragon is a right of passage, I think it is a bit over rated. 441 from Cherokee to Gatlinburg is my favorite!! 276 is an awesome ride also. Once you hit the NC mountains there is days and days of good riding.

    Haven't been on a single one of those rides and I've been riding for over 40 years. Did the Reno Run last year. Doing the Hollister run next year. Doing Sturgis in 2015.

    You should plan a trip to Bikes, Blues, and BarBQ here in NW Arkansas!

    That's a long ways from Portland, Oregon, brother. Maybe in a few years, when I retire, I plan on travelling the country. Bikes, Blues and BBQ are three of my favorite things. Throw in Cigars and Bourbon and I'm sold.

    Only have ridden one of them. Needles hwy in SD. My recommendation, DO NOT schedule this ride during Sturgis Rally unless you enjoy sitting on your bike for long stretches of time due to the traffic. Tour buses still run and it makes it a pain in the butt. Much nicer to ride any other time.

    When I come to Sturgis, I'm gonna look you up.

    Probably going to wait until I retire though, so I can get there a week early and stay a week later. Been looking for homes on Homeaway that I can rent for a month.

    I haven't done any of those either. But then a '96 Sporty isn't very conducive to long distance riding.
