What's the curviest road you can find on google maps?
I JUST found this road in Finland surfing around on google, and I dare you to find a curvier one.

Couldn't find it on google maps, but I dare say the section of road in Custer State Park in South Dakota where the pigtail bridges might be a nominee.

Ok, so it's on google earth, but it works right?
This is just one small area of Japan's many mountain roads. http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...g?t=1192875078 Every yellow line is a road btw. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...%22%3E%3C/a%3E |
I want my driveway to look like one of those roads... :)

Owned a motorcycle in Tokyo a couple of years and 40 mins West of the city (Hajioji & Okutuma ?spell?) there were superbly maintained roads that had extra textured surfaces (like sand paper), and mirrors showing the opposing traffic, on the hairier/blinder corners. Also the double yellow widened, sometimes with pylons, on these corners. Best yet was that you never saw a cop and any slower traffic you came up on would simply pull over at the first opportunity! |
Mmmmm.... 318 curves in 11.5 miles.....( Mouth watering ) 13 days until our Fall Dragon run...... Twisties are your friend! (But, the THP ain't.)

Give me a constant pace twisty like Deals Gap any day. Perhaps it's just me, but these famous European mountain switchbacks look like nothing more than a bunch of straight-aways connected by 1st gear U-turns. And I doubt anyone would dare push it because an error would result in certain death :eek2:. Sure, great sightseeing road.... but NOT a fun drive :no: (IMHO).

That's where Top Gear went and tested the Auston Martin Vanquish 8 Race car, the Lamborghini Gallardo, and the Porsche 911 GT3 RS.
It's episode 10x1 I believe...they went on a search for the "World's Best Road." -Cody |
yep finding tons all over the world LOL... it's crazy! Of course I am finding the most I am interested in in Italy!
