Oh yea, agree. Followed a guy down that road who knew it well, me on my drz and him on a wr450. We both had knobbies but he railed that road.
My shitty old motorhome did not like it too much, could smell the brakes.
The most challenging motorcycle roads?

Fish and chips at the place on the bottom made it worth the trip.

:confused I thought the thread title said "challenging roads." :confused It's a pretty road. It's a scenic road, but the most challenging thing about it is avoiding a performance award from the local CHP.
I was already twitching a little bit about the inclusion of Titlow Road, which is fun, narrow, and remote, though I'm not sure I'd call it challenging. But 70 through the Feather River Canyon, I'm pretty sure about.

Highway 70 is not challenging at all. It's pretty and fun and fast. I was just up there last weekend.

There have been Two Extremely Challenging experiences.
1. Was OMG strong and gusty Wind. In Utah, coming West out of Ogden, crossing the salt flats, just before getting to Wendover...I was the only one on the road (and on my motorcycle) every other vehicle was parked.
Between strong gusts, I could get "up wind side",on the road...
Then during the gust, which knocked me down flat, and pushed me across two lanes...
I would come to just a few inches of being completely slid off the road.
2. was on the crest of Ebbetts pass (Hwy 4) under a storm cell that was dropping so much water, everything just turned dark grey...
Road, Rock wall embankment, Drop off on the other side, Trees... Everything looked the same dark grey... Only saving grace was the rapid fire lightning strikes giving the flash's that reflected off the smooth/flat surface of the road, and making that stand out, a bit.

Next week I'll be back riding the most technical paved road I've ever ridden, Hardknott Pass in the UK. The video should start at 1:46, and take you right into it.

Ask me about my B-1-D
I nominate Salmon river road, from Cecilville to Forks of Salmon to highway 96
1 lane wide,
2 way traffic,
goaty twisties,
no guard rail at all,
anywhere from 30 to 300 ft above the salmon river,
cut into the edge of a cliff,
and several spots where it looks to be one good winter storm from disappearing entirely.
I love it!

Not my kind of challenge. Cliff's.. one way... no real pace to be had. Did it once. Never again really.
To me challenging needs to include some fun.
Glad you love it though Simon!
:laughing
But but... :laughing
