Default What's your favourite US state to ride in?

I've ridden my Dyna in 22 US states and the one I enjoyed the most was California. A close second would be Arkansas and then Tennessee.
CA has the great weather, coastal roads, mountain roads and desert roads.
You can also split lanes and move up to the front of the line at a stop light in any city or town...what could be better?

Yep, like Cali, Washington and Oregon. Colorado is good as is Utah. Northeast states generally have pretty good roads. Hard to pick a winner.

When in Ontario, I always liked riding in PA, VA, & NC. Now that I'm in AZ I'm lovin' it here, especially in Dec, Jan, Feb, & March.

You haven't been to New Jersey? No speeds limits (that anyone observes), no motor vehicle regulations (that anyone observes), and feel free to text, tailgate, apply makeup, have sex, eat a sandwich, play a musical instrument and much much more, without any fear of retribution, at least on the major roads. But, don't even think about the secondary roads in the municipalities, where the cops would give their mothers a ticket for all or any of the above...or maybe nothing at all, and you can get to argue with the judge...
