Its posts like this that continue to remind me how much I love Colorado. As an Ohioan that lived in southeast Texas for a while, this is my bumper sticker...................

Side-splitter for sure!
Go easy. I came from Maine, we have some twisties (way more than the maps on that link) but nothing compared to here. This past weekend I took my CBR from Thornton to Winter Park, over to Estes and down through Nederland back on 72. HOLY JEEZ THERE ARE TWISTIES IN COLORADO. I loved it, I had never been able to lean the bike over as much as I did on the hairpins up the mountain to WP. I was so neverous (but determined to let it all hang out) that I was curling up my toes so they didn't drag. Awesome, just be humble to the poor riders that don't have what we have out here.
Lol Fuck...

Those roads look awesome. Try checking out a map of north dakota sometime. I. Want. To. Shoot. Myself. In. The. Head.
I actually am thinking about selling my bike. Its not fun riding here. At all. Maybe ill gear up for the yearly ice harvest this winter. Yaaaaaah.
Don't get married to a woman who's family lives up north. She'll drag you kicking and screaming.
Heh if you're up there it looks like dualsports and dirtbikes are your only salvation!
Phoenix is the same way but in the city even those would be useless...
Srsly, look at a map of Phoenix. Perfect grid pattern, 1 mile by 1 mile for main roads. Never seen so many squared off tires in my life.
I have to say that I am disappointed with the roads here in CO. I was excited to move here from VA with the mountains so close and expected more twisties to be closer. I had one of the best stretches of asphalt 5 miles from my house in VA. route 619 (Joplin Road).

Yeah, I expected closer access to good roads when I moved to CO. But I'm far from disappointed with what is here. Sure, it might take a few miles to get to the sweet stuff but...
Anyway, The season is winding down and only a few lower elevation roads will be ridable all winter so don't sweat it right now. Next season, do some long range exploring. There is a lot of good riding in this state!
