I much prefer back roads. Every time I ride for pleasure now days, I try to find a new back road that I've never been on before. However, sometimes you have to endure the interstates to get to the good back roads in a reasonable amount of time.

I try to take the scenic highways and byways in other states, the reward is well worth the time. Never could figure out the guys that blow thru a state without taking it in unless they have to be somewhere.

'07 Fat Boy. Much prefer back roads. In NE Ohio, we have the highest (I believe) Amish concentration/population. There are hundreds of miles of well-paved, 2-lane, twisting/turning hilly roads. If I don't have somewhere else I need to be, that's where I'm at.

Prefer 2 lanes. At night, during peak deer hit season (late spring and fall), I prefer interstates. I always laugh when a guy says a state is boring, but they were on interstates the whole time. How the he'll would he know?

Love the back country roads and twisties from here out to the Shenandoahs and down the Blue Ridge. I explored most of them within a day's ride on the Sportster and ready to do them all over again on the Road King. I have some big plans for next spring and summer that will require unavoidable stretches of Interstate and the Road King will be more comfortable for those pieces. But the Interstate would never be my first choice of a route. Just kind of boring (although probably safer without all the intersections).
