I prefer nice smooth back roads. As little traffic as possible. However, as most people have stated, I have to use the main highway to get to some places.

It's all good, as long as I'm riding. Rush hour through Atlanta can even be misconstrued as enjoyable. I love to ride.

Both. For reasons already stated. However I do like the Interstates in the summer time. Especially from Orlando to Daytona. Don't make swim suits like they used too.

As others have said, I love the back roads but if I've gotta be somewhere I've gotta run the super slab
