    Favorite driving experience roads?

    I was reminiscing about Monterey, California in a recent thread and got to thinking about all the cool roads I've come across over the years. Obviously the Tail of the Dragon is one but I'm talking about those local roads that aren't well known. Please post up your favorite routes, the ones you use to test out your suspension or a new mod or just for the scenery.

    California:
    1. Laureles Grade between 68 and Carmel Valley Rd. 6 miles
    -This one is close to "home" for me.

    2. 198 between Coalinga, CA to San Lucas, CA. 87 miles
    -Found this one by accident one day but used to drive all the way from Monterey to drive it and back.

    3. Any part of US-1 coastal HWY west coast. XX miles

    If any of these are blocked due to the music in them let me know and I will upload the version without music. Obviously these are my previous Viper.

    OH yah, Rte 66 forgot about that one! I did a stretch of that in my 66 Mustang about 10 years ago. Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon. Great B&B in Williams, AZ.

    If you like the Tail of the Dragon, here's a mini version without the tourist. http://www.thedevilnc80.com/

    Awesome curves, with a 2000 foot elevation drop. Best of all its only 3 miles from my house.

    That's route 666, from safforf arizona to up by the mines to alpine Arizona where the big fore was a few years ago. It also runs through New Mexico a bit.. They have changed most of the signs though because people keep stealing them. That road is frickin intense man. The turn where my back end comes out in hat video is littered, I mean seriously littered with motorcycle parts.

    I live on Hwy 33 and its awesome 99% of the time unless a knee dragger goes over the side like this past weekend... Jalopnik even loves them some 33 http://jalopnik.com/americas-greates...ret-1736302708

    The other one I love is Angeles Crest Hwy (2) from La Canada to Wrightwood CA - I also like making the turn to head over to the 14 FWY at Acton on this road too... be sure to check the DOT road site as its often closed due to landslides... http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/roadinfo/display.php?page=sr2
