Anywhere in Ohio. Ohio has a bit of everything. It has the hills on the east side and is flat on the west side. Motorcycles are very popular in Ohio, and living in central Ohio gives you access to a lot of variety. I am so itching to get the bike out. I just wish the snow would melt.

we spend alot of weekends the past few years riding in Ohio. Luv the hocking hills area and along the ohio river down by the border with VA/KY. And having the choice regarding wearing a helmet is a plus for those of us in Michigan. Many weekends we'll ride to the first paved road south of the border with MI and head west for an hour or two just to ride without our helmets.Thats how I found out about the antique bike show/swap meet and races in wauseon, just going for a ride one day and met up with a guy on a panhead at a gas station and he told me about it.

Moved to Ohio 3 years ago and am still enjoying the scenery although I do wish I could start my rides out about an hour south! It is not so pretty getting to the pretty areas down south!

Some of the best roads I have found anywhere is around Marrietta in the extreme SE part of Ohio. Just across the border of west Virginia!

The Mohican State Park area is my goto riding spot. Good roads and cool little places to eat! Come on Global Warming!
