Lets see...We've done numbers 1,2,3,5(sorrta, rode rte 1 along the northern coast of Cali) ,7,9,11 and 12. Do I get a prize???

I've been to Colorado but not the area they mention and Texas and Missouri are on my list...

10 outta the 12 for me.

Lucky man! I have only done 4 so far. I just turned 40 Tuesday so plenty of time. (I hope lol)

Man, Crater Lake is a beautiful site! I'd be happy if I could do at least ONE of those rides, but no time and limited funds puts the brakes on that ... maybe someday. I'm a little jealous of so many of you that can do all those trips, but at least I can enjoy some of the great sites through all of your eyes so thanks for that.

Lets see, I have done the following rides:
1. Ride the Lasso out of Sturgis toward Devils Tower.
2. Thread the eye on the Needles Highway in Custer State Park.
3. Then head south to enjoy the rolling prairie and buffalo on the Wildlife Loop Road.

6. Take a ride on the Old Loveland Pass in the White River National Forest, Colorado.

11. Soak in the shades of autumn over Deals Gap in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina.
12. Lastly: once in your life, you must ride Hwy 441 through Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

So I have rode 6 of the 12 and those I have all rode more than once.

They are missing three truly spectacular rides.

Bearthooth pass from Redlodge MT to Yellowstone
Million dollar Hwy in CO from Durango to Ouray
Blue Ridge Parkway

There is also Chief Joseph's Hwy from Cody to Yellowstone

Only 7 out of 12 for me    But, as Dave said,  the Beartooth, Chief Joseph, and Blue Ridge Parkway should definitely be on the list..also, pretty much any road near Maggie Valley..

Part of the reason I posted this was to share but also to have any missing from the list mentioned. I'd like to do the list plus the extras you mentioned.

I have done a few of these, but not always on a bike. The Great Smoky Mtns are incredible. I am surprised that Beartooth Pass in Wyoming/Montana is not mentioned. Or million dollar hwy in Colorado?

Here in the Northeast there are some great rides through the White Mtns of NH such as the Kancamagus Hwy and Franconia Notch areas and Mount Washington. Also the Adirondack Mtns are gorgeous and surround the area of Lake George. Also in NY is Lake Placid with Whiteface Mtn and the Finger Lakes which is wine country

I have ridden the Pacific Coast Hwy. But also just as spectacular is the Sierra Nevada Mtn range and the Giant Sequoias of Redwood National Forest.

Any one ever ride through Death Valley?

Never rode there but spent 30 days there 4 times in the Army. Not a fun place lol.

We generally go to DV once or twice a year. Very interesting place visually but the majority of the roads themselves at or below sea level are nothing to write home about. However the roads into and out of DV are very fun. Still it's a must visit location. The best roads there are off road dual sport.  This is is Melanie and me on our dual sports in Titus Canyon DV

[Jswerve]

Dual sports i can see. But I don't think the paved roads would be too exciting.

For you riders in North Central Arizona you should ride the Coronado Trail the old Highway (666) now 191 starting in the north  at Sringerville at the junction of 191 and 60. This Trail has 460 curves over apprx. 120 miles on one of the least traveled federal highways. The twisties begin at Hannigan Meadows to Clifton. You go from palm deserts to elevations up to 6000 ft. Great ride one of the least known and heard of rides.

Actually coming over 190 into/out of DV is a great twisty road.

I drove that 2 years ago on a family vacation in a convertible. Great road
