Favorite roads

You know, in this country we have some of the finest motorcycling roads known to man. Depending on what part of the country you are from you may have heard of The Dragon, The devil's Backbone, The Strand, The Blue Ridge Parkway or, one of my personal favorites, The trip through the Great Smokey Mountains. But I've come to realize over the years that there really are more interesting roads around than I probably ever will know about. You know the ones I mean. The little "alphabet" highways and secondary roads that are off the beaten path that only connect small town to small town, many of which don't even show up on state maps. My own home field (Missouri) is loaded with them. Winding little asphalt threads that break off the main routes and twist through the hills, forests and sleepy little villages. One of the finest motorcycle roads in the U.S. is actually right out my back door. It is Missouri route 32 begining from US Route 63 in Licking, MO and running east to US Route 67 at Park Hills, MO south os St. Louis. That little route is about 80 miles of hills, sweeping turns, a few tight switch backs and beautiful scenery. The traffic is usually fairly light, especially if you can make the ride during the week, and picks up to moderate on the weekends during the summer. Lot's of good opportunities for passing when encountering that traffic though that are scattered between sections that are tight and challenging. Missouri Highway 32 has been listed as one of the top ten in the US by a couple of motorcycle mags in years past and we have had out of town tourers stop by Interstate Motorcycles and ask how to find it specifically. As a bonus there are plenty of great roads around 32 and lot's off appealing ways just to get you to it.

How 'bout you? Got any favorites you'd like to share?

Jammin' with Slam 12-30-05: Does Val REALLY have more tattoos than Slam?

Slam's getting ready to hit the road with his lovely wife, Mary, and head for parts south (where it's warm enough to ride a motorcycle!). He wouldn't leave without a good story, however, and this one's a doozy, so if you missed it live, listen to it HERE!

Jammin' with Slam 12-23-05: Slam gets a call from Kim in Albuquerque!

As Slam continues his NYC biker story, he gets a surprise Merry Christmas call from Kim Bloomer in Albuquerque, NM. Kim's a co-podcaster with CoolCast where she has a show called Animal Talk Naturally. Let's not forget the Interstate Motorcycles Model, either. Hint: BE SURE to dial 888 instead of 800 when you call...or you'll get QUITE a surprise...and NOT from Slam!
