Where did you find the picture? Original link and/or filename? I might be able to hunt around.

There's not many roads that can glow a sportbike's brakes, but that one has potential!

Actually, I think Top Gear decided this was the best road on earth:

Stelvio Pass:

Makes me want to hit US40 from I-70 to Winter Park. :) Not nearly the same, but at least it's relatively close by.

This road is considered for experts. I have taken that road many times in a car.

It is about 40 minutes east of I-25. Once you are on I-40, it is about 5 miles in.

This road is between I-70 and winter park.

Which road? I thought Stelvio Pass was in the Italian Alps too?

Moep was responding to my comment about Gotthard making me want to ride up to Berthoud Pass, not that Gotthard is here in CO. :)

Berthoud Pass - As I said, not the same, but at least it's in a locale I can get to.

Looks like a lot of fun until you get to Lake Ruby. I suppose that's not a bad place to turn around though. ;)
