Bookmark the world’s best motorcycling roads
What a brilliant idea - Wired magazine’s Autopia has started up a Google Maps service where bikers all around the world can tag their favourite roads and learn about where others go to thrash their pride and joy.
Of course it’s unmoderated, so you’d want to do a bit of research before you turn up to a spot where some joker has tagged a 500km straight freeway, but as a starter spot to check out your local area or somewhere you’re planning to visit on two wheels, it’s a great idea.
Check it out and contribute your own roads after the jump.
You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site.

This is good and bad….we all know what has happened to Rt 129.
Although this could save a lot of time and gas, finding a road the old fashioned way adds to the ride exponentially while keeping the crowds and cops at ease.

Absolutely agreed Hoyt - but there’s another side that says if I come visit Houston or Edinburgh and I’ve got one day on a hire bike, I’d love to know where to point it…

I think the pashnit (pashnit.com) site had this feature for quite some time.
