RE: Touring vs Twisties

I prefer the backroads to the interstate. Have quite a few state highways, but not a whole lot of twisties around here. KS is layed out like a piece of graph paper.

RE: Touring vs Twisties

Right now, for me at least, any riding I get to do is the most fun you can have with your clothes on! Although I do prefer the roads less traveled.

Hands down for me it's back roads and twisties. That really is more what the sporty was made for.

RE: Touring vs Twisties

Twisteis!!! Unfortunately, I seem to log many many more miles on the slab. But sometimes, that's just to get to the really good twisties. Have rode over 1,500 miles the last 2 weeks. Only about 300 of that I'd say has been backroads.

RE: Touring vs Twisties

I hate the highway, bores the **** out of me. I usually go out of my way to get places just to avoid it.

Weekends and joy rides: avoid the interstate as much as possilbe if at all possible.

Work commute: 45 minutes on the slab each way or 1:15 on backroads each way, i'm split 50/50 cuz i'm always runnin late!!
