Honestly I like them both. With friends the twisties I like better. My normal driving is from point A to point B. I am not one to drive for the sake of driving the bike. I like to go to a destination.

I score that response a "10". I'm sort of the opposite as, primo. For years I was a get on the slab, and GET THERE kinda guy. Now I really would rather cruise the back roads and check out the scenery, the locals, Momma likes to stop at little shops, and can say, I've come to really enjoy that myself. (Plus it gives my ol' **** a chance to recuperate) As to the twisties,we REALLY enjoy the run up the North Shore of Lake Superior. (In the daylight) Justa super enjoyable ride thru curves that runs for 100+ miles. Got a watch for motorhomes, but a GREAT ride.

 

I ride mainly secondary roads. Twisties make me think and react and become one with the bike. I will ride the slabs when I have to go somewhere and have limited time. [sm=massbounce.gif]

 

I like to use the slab to get to an area if time is short then hit the backroads. When the wife is with all super slabs are off limits so we always take the long way. She don't like twisties either so won't she be surprised when we do the Dragon in May.

 

Kind of relate to this answer as well. I guess what I really don't care for anymore are the mountain roads with switchback after switchback after switchback.

A good country road or scenic drive like marcss mentioned above(395 or Hwy 1 out here in Calif) with long stretches of 2 lane hwy with funky out of the way stops are pretty enjoyable.

I like tha slab with less variables than the twisties. I'm into speed. If I had a sportbike I think it would be neat to put it on a track though. Would have to have a suit of armor though for when i went down cause I know I'd be pushing it to the limit and over.

 

I know that road - first time I road a bike was my brother's Yamaha 850 in 1987. I borrowed it for the summer awaiting my transfer to Germany. Stationed in Tucson, but from Phoenix, I rode I-10 every weekend back/forth. Got bored one afternoon and hit Mt. Lemmon Hwy. Beautiful ride. Will do again someday when I make it back out west. Have to stick to VA I-95 and a few nice country roads for now.

 

What's a twisties? Down here in Fla. we ain't got no twisties, just long flat staight backroads! Kiddin', love the backroads over the super slab, unless I gotta be there in a hurry. Better twisties in North Florida.

 

Twisties and secondaries for me. I'm never in a hurry and get bored on the slab. Whenout for a day ride*I am always looking for nice county roads and have found a few cherries! It's about the ride, not how fast I get there. If time is important I take the car.
*a day ride for me is 8-9am till dark 2-300 miles. friends call me "short ride"
