Another:

Northeastern, route 917. Twisty, low traffic density, excellent road quality. This road starts in Mansfield Tx., which is just south of Arlington (suburb of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex). It has continuous twisties, and once you cross over I-35, the road has been recently paved, and is very very nice. Most of the corners have a lot of visibility, but be careful the first few times down this road. Because of the visibility, you think that some of the corners are faster then they really are. Learn this road and you will love it time and time again. NOTE: There is one corner that is labeled _20 MPH_ heed this warning, it really is! Heading down this road from Mansfield, its a VERY sharp 90 degree left hander. Have Fun and Keep The Rubber Side DOWN!!!

I'll probably have the bike built and on the road by the time we're ready to hit Austin:

Another:


Take 455 off I35E north of Denton and stay on it for a 69 mile ride thru sweeps and long hilling straights with no intersecting roads for miles and miles or nothing but miles and miles.

Kick ass Chris, I actually spent a couple of days looking for a similar website. Where did you find this link?

This road is all of a 20 minute drive away from me. We usually ride through this area once a month or so. Just some things to watch out for on this road are: loose gravel on the road(not always but sometimes there is), the few cops, and definitely do NOT cross the center line through the turns as the few cars that travel the road sometimes do not stay in their lane completely. Otherwise its a great but VERY technical road.

157 looks to be a more technical but I'll have to check out both this weekend.

[bobber]

Is the state fuzz out there or something?

The road quality of the first one (697) sucks ass.
