AMA: "Best Place to Live as a Motorcyclist?"

[James Burleigh]

I went onto the AMA site this morning to see when the next Superbike race is ('cause the Speed Channel website is so lame :glare: ), when I came across this photo in their "Backfire" section:

Here's the page link.

Hmmm... I think I've seen that bridge before. Now where was that...? Oh yes--on the way home up Hwy 1 (Pacific Coast Highway) from the Magical Land of Creston (photos by Silent):

I guess the AMA's made up their mind, correctly of course.

The only reason the Pacific NW didn't win is because they are biased against rain!

 

[spklbuk]

And the Appalachians didn't win cause AMA is apparently just plain prejudiced against TREES!?

 

[FJRBluesman]

Oh come on!

When the AMA and JB are right, they're right. Live with it.

Yep that would be the Bixby Bridge near Big Sur B)

In the winter no less!

Looks purdy.

I kinda like it right here in between the Ozarks and the Ouachita's tho.

Smokey Mountain area is my favorite trip out of town.

Some day I hope to get out west and check it out.

Hello?

The only state in the union that allows us to use our motorcycles to actually get through traffic?

It's a no-brainer.

And the forum-famous shot of us being followed by TWN on one of the more scenic of California's byways, taken by the legendary OrangevaleFJR:

Buy one yourself and support the Forum, right here!

Its hard to argue that CA isn't in the top 10. I wish Kansas was in the top 40.

 

[Silver Penguin]

Beautiful pix. Thanks for sharing. We sure do live in the best place in the world for motorcycling.

I grew up just outside of Newton. The one thing you have to say about riding in Kansas is that you can get very proficient at going in a straight line really, really fast. Something I never did, not even once, Officer Goering...!

ain't kaliforny that place where all the assless chap wearing fairies live????



y'all need more busch beer drinking rednecks out y'alls way :lol:

 

[ShinyPartsUp]

I like it in Southern Oregon. We can visit California, then we get to leave.........

 

[FJRBluesman]

We'll just let the photos speak for themselves.

 

[sonicspeed]

i'll admit that anywhere is better to ride than west tennessee

I'd say we are- less than 1 day to the Ozarks, Colorado, Utah, Kentucky, Tennessee (most of the east coast, really), only 2 days to just about anywhere in the U.S., northern Mexico, or southern Canada (3 to Alaska). How much better can you get... . We're riding FJR's, we've got the range.
