Kansas Motorcycle Rides

An equal distance from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, Kansas is located deep in the heart of America’s vast farmlands. Although the state is one of the nation’s top producers of crops such as corn, wheat and soybeans, agriculture is not the only thing you will find in these roughly 80,000 square miles of land. To the east of Kansas’s great plains are forests and rolling hills cut into the earth long ago by glaciers. Kansas’s roads might not be the most technical or exciting, but there are certainly some fun and scenic motorcycle rides in Kansas, The Sunflower State, that are worth riding.

Tips for Riding in Kansas

Kansas’s hot summers, somewhat cold winters and pleasant spring/fall seasons mean that you can ride here pretty much any time of the year. If you plan to do some winter riding in Kansas, take a look at the forecast and try to plan your riding on days that aren’t too cold. Be prepared for low temps by gearing up with a base + mid layer underneath an insulative, wind-blocking jacket/pant combo, and don’t forget some warm gloves . The spring and fall seasons are great times to explore Kansas on two wheels, just be prepared for any wet weather by packing in some rain gear . Given that Kansas is located in Tornado Alley, always take a look at the forecast before heading out on the bike to make sure you don’t run into any of the nasty storms that can batter this part of the country from roughly April through June. During July and August, temperatures frequently reach into the 90’s. If riding in Kansas during this time of year, be sure to utilize hot weather riding gear and stay well hydrated by increasing your water intake in the days before your ride in addition to packing water with you via a wearable hydration system or similar device.

Kansas Attractions

Motorcycle enthusiasts who are visiting or passing through Kansas should place one particularly relevant attraction towards the top of their destination list: The Evel Knievel Museum. Located in Topeka, this museum contains and interprets the largest collection of Evel Knievel memorabilia in the world. While in Topeka you can also pay a visit to the Combat Air Museum. Here you can view a diverse collection of combat aircraft and related artifacts dating from World War 1 through the Cold War. For a truly unique museum experience, head to the Strataca Salt Mine Museum in Hutchinson, Kansas and head 650ft below the surface. Deep within one of the world’s largest deposits of rock salt, you can tour a cavernous mine via electric minecart and learn about the unique challenges and work involved with mining rock salt at such a depth. In the very southwestern corner of the state is the Cimarron National Grassland. These 100,000+ acres of natural terrain are a great place for hiking, picnicking, and fishing on the Cimarron River.

Rides and Destinations: Flint Hills, Kansas

Rides & Destinations: Flint Hills, Kansas

On the first Sunday of every month from March to November, Cassoday, Kansas, in the heart of the Flint Hills, wakes up in a big way.

Green and lush in the spring, the Flint Hills in eastern Kansas offer some of the best motorcycle rides in the state and the Midwest. Photos by Rachael Gonzalez.

By the Motorcycle Classics staff May 2017

Ya gotta love scientists. Always on the lookout for ground-breaking studies, a group of researchers at AIR, the Annals of Improbable Research , applied spectography to answer the age-old question, “Is Kansas as flat as a pancake?”

We applied our own research to answer that question, aiming our sights for the Flint Hills and Cassoday, Kansas, once the self-proclaimed “Prairie Chicken Capital of the World” and one of the best motorcycle rides in Kansas. With barely 130 souls to its credit, Cassoday defines small. But on the first Sunday of every month from March to November, this quiet little town in the heart of the Flint Hills wakes up in a big way, as up to 3,000-plus motorcycles converge on its two-block-long Main Street and the now-famous Cassoday Cafe.

The   10S headset   from Sena Technologies is ideal for rider-to-rider communications and hands-free phone calls.

It all started in the mid-1990s when a group of riders from Lawrence, Kansas, picked Cassoday for their Sunday morning ride. The Cassoday Cafe, pretty much the only operating business in town and normally closed on Sundays, agreed to open if enough folks showed up.

And show they did. The first few years found 100 to 300 riders carving their way via Highway 177 through the lush hills of Chase and Butler counties for the monthly breakfast run. It was a relatively low-key, semi-local event. And then the word got out.

A recent Sunday found bikers from across the region descending on the town for a happening that borders on a festival. The Cassoday Cafe gave up serving everyone from its small kitchen years ago, and these days food is dished out from surrounding tents.

Sunday morning rides to Cassoday, Kansas, the self-proclaimed “Prairie Chicken Capital of the World,” started in the mid-1990s.

Mobile kiosks now regularly make the scene, serving food, selling accessories and tending to torn leathers. On our visit there was even a mobile dynometer from a Wichita shop on hand, with bikers lined up for a chance to test their metal as the sounds of wailing engines filled the air.

So what about the folks at AIR? According to their study Kansas is even flatter than a pancake, or at least flatter than what you order at your local IHOP. Maybe, but we think if they made a run to Cassoday, they’d reassess their conclusion. MC

The Skinny Where: Cassoday, KS When: The first Sunday of the month, March through November. Be there by 9 a.m. Why: Small town, big bikes — and lots of them — make for a great Sunday morning ride. The cycles: Lots of late-model Hogs and Hondas, but the classic element is always strong . The scenic routes: Highway 177 through the heart of the Flint Hills. It’s a ribbon of blacktop unraveling across the plains. Riding the Flint Hills is like setting off across the ocean — except you won’t get wet. The watering holes: There’s only one, the Cassoday Cafe. The fare’s limited, but hey, that’s not what we really ride for. Best-kept secrets: Heading south from Interstate 70, Highway 4 is a must. Almost no traffic, stunning scenery and enough curves to make you forget you’re in Kansas. Avoid: Watch for cycle cops: As the event grows, so does the chance for an unwelcome “discussion” with local law enforcement.

Kansas & Missouri

Susan Dragoo

Rolling past the Mid America Dragway near Arkansas City, KS, I felt Bill roll off the throttle of our 2001 Harley-Davidson Super Glide Dyna Sport. The venue was packed and machines were pouring in through the gates. “We should stop and race,” said Bill over the Cardo Packtalk Slim units installed in our helmets. “Wouldn’t it be a great way to commemorate our first date?” I smiled and shook my head in his mirror. “I wish we had the time,” I said and we accelerated back to highway speed. He would have stopped with the slightest encouragement. Our first date was on this very bike, 17 years ago to the day … At the drag races.

Bill shrugged and replied in his typical boyish way: “I had to try.” With the help of Greg Huntsenpiller at Harley-Davidson World in Oklahoma City and our local machine shop, Folks Machine, we had just rejuvenated the bike with significantly enhanced performance. I must admit, I too was tempted to test its limits.

Where It All Began

It was a warm night that late September in 2003, when Bill and I arrived at Thunder Valley Raceway south of Norman, OK. The Harley-Davidson drags were underway, filling the air with the smell of race fuel and the sounds of powerful motors at redline. I watched Bill race the quarter-mile and come ever so close to winning his class. The rest, as they say, is history. We married a year and a half later.

That ride to Thunder Valley Raceway was only the first of many adventures for us, from trekking to Mount Everest Base Camp to hiking China’s Tiger Leaping Gorge and Italy’s Cinque Terre, to exploring the American West and Baja California on both two and four wheels. A few years after we wed, I was browsing the dusty book shelves of a junk store in central Oklahoma when a title caught my eye: I Married Adventure. I thought: “Well, so did I!”

The book, a bestseller published in 1940 and written by Osa Johnson, told the story of two young Kansans—Osa and her husband Martin Johnson—who pursued a lifetime of high adventure in their explorations of then highly exotic spots in Africa and the South Seas. Their groundbreaking films made them celebrities and Osa’s autobiography prompted me to realize that I was not the only one who had married adventure. This week, Bill and I were on our way to visit a museum preserving the Johnson legacy in Osa’s hometown of Chanute, KS.

Not The Kansas of Oz

The Flint Hills offered a pleasing background for our route to Chanute, which, granted, we were pursuing in a roundabout way. While widely renowned and too often ridiculed for its flat terrain, Kansas indeed has hills in its eastern reaches, named for the flint eroded from the bedrock. Some of the last intact tallgrass prairie in North America is also preserved there.

It was lunchtime when we reached Arkansas City (pronounced ar-KAN-sas, since it’s in Kansas), so we stopped for a sandwich at the Steamy Joe Coffee House and Deli, enjoying a cup of their signature brew with chocolate chip cookies for dessert. It was a beautiful, early fall day and we dined on the front porch of the converted bungalow. The Harley-Davidson awaited us within sight, on the grass under a shade tree right in front the building. It was an unofficial parking spot that nobody seemed to mind, including an amiable state trooper who stopped in with a feigned threat of a parking ticket.

Stonehenge, Sow Belly, and the Tallgrass Prairie

After lunch, we picked up the Flint Hills Scenic Byway at Cassoday. It was a pleasant ride through gently rolling hills carpeted with waving, amber grass and the dark green contrast of trees in the vales. The northbound two-lane Hwy 177 took us through the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve and past a Stonehenge-like structure made of railroad ties. The Rail-henge turned out to be part of a walking trail associated with Matfield Station, which formerly served as bunkhouses for railroad workers and now provides Flint Hills lodging for those who want to walk the prairies and watch trains. Some time and 47 miles later we reached the end of the byway at Council Grove, an important stop on the Santa Fe Trail—the famed 19th century trade and emigration route that connected Franklin, MO, with Santa Fe, NM.

It was early evening and daylight was waning as we rolled into Council Grove. We’d made a frustrating error in timing, because the town brims with historic sites and we could take in only a few, including the stump of Post Office Oak. From 1825 to 1847, this massive tree had a cache at its base that served as an informal post office for travelers. The Last Chance Store, built in 1857, provided the final opportunity to buy beans, sow belly, and other supplies before venturing into what were then long miles of wilderness. We like to think of ourselves as adventurers, but we must still marvel at the hardy souls who trod the Santa Fe and other emigrant trails in the 1800s. What challenges they endured!

35 Bucket List Motorcycle Rides

We all have a bucket list of motorcycle roads we’d like to ride before we highside off this mortal coil. Here are 35 recommended by Clement Salvadori, arranged alphabetically by state or country.

The longest stretch of genuine old U.S. Route 66 is in western Arizona, running 90 lonely miles from Seligman to Kingman alongside the tracks of the Burlington-Northern-Santa Fe. Railroads came in the late 19th century, and automotive roads followed in the early 20th. In Seligman lives Angel Delgadillo, who was born there 88 years ago and has been instrumental in preserving the legend of old 66.

2. Arkansas

The riding around the Buffalo National River in the Ozark Mountains provides endless amusement, and many chances to wash the dust off your wheels. The Newton County seat of Jasper, on State Route 7, provides a focal point, and little roads go off in every direction, including through the Ozark National Forest. A word to the wise: If you are faced with fording a river, best to walk the distance first, just so you don’t end up with a flooded bike.

3. California

The Big Sur Highway , carved out of the coast along the Santa Lucia Range for a hundred miles between Cambria and Carmel, is my own favorite road, being almost in my backyard. It’s an all-year ride, presuming that winter rains do not cause landslides. Two lanes with an uncountable number of curves, the mountains on one side, the surf frothing along the short on the other. Don’t try sightseeing from the moving motorcycle; stop and then look, it’s safer.

Go way, way east to Nova Scotia, and there at the tip of Cape Breton Island is Cape North, the farthest you can ride on the North American continent, 3,922 Mapquest miles from San Diego. The road looping around the Cape Breton Highlands National Park is called the Cabot Trail (after the 15th-century explorer John Cabot), and in good weather the 135-mile loop is one of the more divine rides on the continent. Bad weather? Don’t go.

5. Colorado

Schofield Pass (10,707 feet) is not for the faint of heart, being one of the toughest rides in the Rocky Mountains. Back in the 1880s, when silver was king, the 5-mile Gothic Road was built between the mining sites in Marble and Crested Butte, much of it merely a shelf blasted out of the mountainside that just drops straight down into the Crystal River Canyon. It’s a dangerous ride, and only the really, really competent should try it (according to Wikipedia, the pass has claimed 12 lives).

The Chattahoochee National Forest is one of the great motorcycle playgrounds, and the Two Wheels of Suches Motorcycle Campground & Lodge is the place to stay. Founded in the early 1980s by Frank and Jeanie Cheek, the original Two Wheels Only (T.W.O.) Motorcycle Resort hosted well over half a million motorcyclists. T.W.O. closed down in 2011, and the property was later purchased by motorcycle enthusiast and local resident Bill Johnston, who expanded and renovated the facility. It re-opened as Two Wheels of Suches in 2014. There are hundreds of miles of two-lane roads to ride, including the Georgia Triangle : diabolically twisty Wolf Pen Gap Road (State Route 180), State Route 60 and U.S. Route 129, to name but a few.

For my money, the most fun and least populated island in the archipelago/state of Hawaii is Kauai—and motorcycle rentals are available. There are only about a hundred miles of paved road on the island, which covers some 550 square miles. However, the 20-mile run up Waimea Canyon Drive to the 4,000-foot Kalalau Lookout in the Kokee State Park makes at least one day’s rental essential. The ride is best done early in the morning, before the tourist get out.

The 160-mile Salmon River Scenic Byway runs along State Route 75 and U.S. Route 93 from the southern terminus of Stanley, in the Sawtooth Mountains, up the Continental Divide crossing at 7,014-foot Lost Trail Pass on the Idaho/Montana state line. The river is this great north-flowing cascade of water, paralleling much of the route, shared by fisherfolk and rafters. The forests are full of moose and elk and deer, so best be wary, especially at dawn and dusk.

Related Story: Riding the Alps of Idaho

The 9,045-foot Stelvio Pass may be the most famous pass in the Alps for motorcyclists, with 48 hairpin turns on the northeast side and a lot of curves and tunnels on the southwest slope. The road from Bormio to Prato alla Stelvio is about 30 miles, and was built back in the 1820s to enhance trade. Nowadays it caters mainly to motorcyclists and bicyclists (a hardy lot), with some cars and a few tour busses.

If you want to take a 1950s trip across the Great Plains, take U.S. Route 36 across Kansas, about 400 miles from the Missouri River to St. Francis as the eagle flies. Back 150 years ago, much of this road was a major route for wagon trains and even, briefly, the Pony Express. Nowadays it offers the best of small-town America, with friendly folk serving up eggs and homemade sausage in the cafés, and clean and inexpensive motels when you need to sleep.

U.S. Route 1/State Route 3 from Bath to Bar Harbor is only about 120 miles, but if you ride along all the little side roads the trip could take you a week. A dozen or more peninsulas reach south into the Atlantic Ocean from the main road, and they all have roads that are well worth exploration, whether it is to Boothbay or Port Clyde or Stonington. Good people will greet you, and the food is excellent—presuming you like fish and lobster.

12. Massachusetts

The Mohawk Trail, otherwise known as State Route 2, runs 40 miles west from Greenfield across the Berkshire Mountains to Williamstown. This is a short ride, but the trail has dozens of little side routes to places like the 5-mile Hoosac railroad tunnel, an engineering marvel in the 1870s, or to the top of Mount Greylock, which at 3,491 feet is the highest point in the state, offering stunning views.

Copper Canyon figures large in the minds of those who want to take a trip to Mexico—and it should, as it is a lot larger than the Grand Canyon. The independent travelers can take a ride on their own down to the colonial mining town of Batopilas, or one can opt for a guided tour with a vehicle to carry the baggage. Most riders use Batopilas as a turnaround point, but the truly adventurous can leave the canyon by fording two big rivers on their way to Urique.

14. Mississippi

The Natchez Trace Parkway runs 450 miles from Natchez, Mississippi, to Nashville, Tennessee, and the most fun is down where it starts alongside the Mississippi River. There is gambling and drinking and all sorts of goings-on down on Silver Street, just like 150 years ago when the riverboat fellows would get paid off and go and have a good time before making the long walk home up the Trace.

15. Missouri

A hundred-mile portion of the Great River Road runs on the west side of the Mississippi River from St. Louis northwest to Hannibal, and it is a cheerfully slow road to ride. St. Louis is a big, bustling city, but as soon as you turn onto State Route 79 that is all left behind. You can ride out to see three of the river’s dams and locks, browse through some 50 antique stores and art galleries along the way, and end up in Tom Sawyer’s hometown.

16. Montana

The 50 miles of the Going-to-the-Sun Highway in Glacier National Park is best tackled early in the morning before the motorhomers get up and clog the road. And the quasi-inevitable construction crews start their work, as they have a short season to keep the road in good repair. From Logan Pass and the Continental Divide, at 6,647 feet, are great views from 10,052-foot Mount Jackson in the south to 10,479-foot Mount Cleveland in the north.

U.S. Route 6 through the Silver State is the true loneliest road—U.S. Route 50 has probably five times more traffic. U.S. 6 runs roughly 250 miles from Montgomery Pass near the California border to the town of Ely, over in the eastern part of Nevada. It’s all high desert, over 6,000 feet, as the road crosses the Great Basin, with hardly a curve to be found. Once you get to Ely you can continue on U.S. 6 all the way to Provincetown at the tip of Cape Cod.

18. New Hampshire

Every motorcycle rider should run up the Mount Washington Auto Road at least once—though one might have to try several times as the road is closed when the weather is acting up. Which it often does; it took me three tries to get to the top of the 6,288-foot mountain. The 7.6-mile road first opened in 1861, and the toll-ticket (in 2015) is $16 for a motorcycle and operator, plus another $8 for a passenger. In June, two “Ride to the Sky” days are offered—for motorcyclists only.

19. New Mexico

Taking the back way from the town of Shiprock, New Mexico, to Canyon de Chelly National Monument in Arizona along Indian Route 13 is a beautiful ride. Out there in the middle of the desert is Shiprock itself, named by the emigrants with the 8-mile-a-day Conestoga wagons because it looked, from a distance, like a ship at full sail, as it reaches nearly 1,600 feet above the desert floor.

20. New York

The run up Whiteface Mountain is an absolute must. State Route 431 is a short 8-mile road, off State Route 48, with a toll to get in, but the rewards are tremendous, especially if you make the effort to walk, or take the elevator (I kid you not), to the very top, giving you a view across hundreds of square miles of upstate New York, all the way to Lake Champlain. This is at the north end of the Adirondack Park, easily accessible from Lake Placid or Saranac Lake.

21. New Zealand

Two big islands make up this country, and I find that the South Island can provide me with endless motorcycling pleasure. There are few people, little traffic and great roads through great scenery—the New Zealand Alps, Milford Sound and the ever-entertaining resort town of Queenstown, where you can jetboat or bungee jump. Being on the same southerly latitudes as the United States is northerly, it’s a great place for a winter vacation.

22. North Carolina

Taking State Route 12 the 90 miles from Kitty Hawk to Ocracoke includes a couple of ferries, which is all to the good. Most of the real estate falls in the purview of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, so habitations are few. Most tourists congregate around the northern towns, like Kill Devil Hills, where the Wright brothers flew their airplane in 1903, so I advise the motorcyclist to go south, where there are unimpeded roads and views.

The Historic Columbia River Highway is a class ride; this old road (and it is old, being built between 1913 and 1922) runs for 15 miles between Corbett and Dodson. It was built to attract all those folk who drove a Model T or rode an Indian PowerPlus, winding up to 700 feet at Crown Point. Today the trucks and motorhomes are all down on Interstate 84, whereas this original has been well-maintained as a scenic route.

The Millersburg Ferry is certainly an old-fashioned way to cross the Susquehanna River. Ferry service began operation in 1807, with the stern-wheel paddle ferryboat coming along about a hundred years later. This contraption conveys people and vehicles across the river from Millersburg to near Liverpool, with a motorcyclist paying $7 for himself and machine, an additional $3 if there is a passenger (in 2015). This is a fine piece of living history.

South America is a big place, and for my money Peru is the most interesting country to go to, with stupendous geography and fascinating history. To ride east from Pisco (home to the Pisco sour) on the coast through to Cusco high in the Andes and back down to Manu National Park in the Amazon basin is more than 700 rugged miles. Sorry, no road goes to the fabled Macchu Pichu; from Cusco, it’s a walk, take a train, or go by helicopter.

26. Portugal

Following the Douro River the hundred miles from Peso de Regua to Porto, on the Atlantic Ocean, is to relish the past. Roads run along either side of the river, often high up, and little cafés offering tripe dishes are in every town—as is the famous port wine, a sweetish wine, both red and white, that the British made famous 200 years ago. Down at the mouth of the river the city of Porto has great history and even better tasting rooms.

27. South Dakota

The Black Hills are definitely worth having a look at, covering some 5,000 square miles in the southwest corner of South Dakota. If you like to share the roads with 100,000 other bikes, go during the annual Sturgis rally in August. I recommend that all motorcyclists witness the event at least once. For a more leisurely approach to the history and beauty of the area, go some other time of year.

28. Switzerland

There are three ways to get from Airolo to Andermatt. One is to take the 10-mile road tunnel under the 6,900-foot St. Gotthard Pass, another the relatively new road over the pass, or better yet, take the old road. This was a footpath as long ago as the 13th century, became a road that a carriage could use in 1775, and was paved with cobblestones in the late 19th century. Today that old road is definitely the most interesting way for a motorcyclist to get over the pass.

The Big Texan Steak Ranch is in Amarillo, built 50 years ago to cater to the traffic going by on old U.S. Route 66. The Panhandle is the easiest way to cross the Lone Star State as it is only 180 miles wide, with Interstate 40 being the fast route, old U.S. 66 the slow. That free 72-ounce steak is a real deal—if you can eat it all in one hour. The restaurant says that more than 40,000 people have tried, and the success rate is about 1 in 6; I usually pay for the 8-ounce sirloin.

Riding the Friendship Highway 800 miles from Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, to Kathmandu, capital of Nepal, is a very adventurous trip, being mostly a dirt road, often mud, going up over half-a-dozen very high passes, 16,000 feet or more. Several motorcycle tour companies have, in the past, run trips along this road, but much depends on the current state of political affairs between China and the Tibetan people.

After the inevitable crowds at Zion and Bryce Canyon national parks, it is nice to find a stunningly beautiful and under-visited Cedar Breaks National Monument just a few miles away. My favorite way to get there is taking State Route 14 (Markagaunt High Plateau Scenic Byway) east from Cedar City, and after cresting Midway Summit at 9,900 feet, take a left onto State Route 148 (Cedar Breaks Scenic Byway) which runs into the monument. Leaving, I take State Route 143 east toward Panguitch, a very hospitable town.

32. Vermont

State Route 100 runs the length of the state, but the best stretch is the 130 miles between Waterbury (home to Ben & Jerry’s ice cream) and Wilmington, a mostly two-lane road that runs along the east side of the Green Mountain National Forest, and half of the fun is taking the little side roads that run over places like Appalachian Gap and Lincoln Gap. The region offers lots of rustic beauty and the occasional general store that makes great deli sandwiches.

33. Virginia

More than 200 miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway runs through western Virginia, and it is a ride that every motorcyclist should do at least once. This 469-mile road along the crest of the southern Appalachian Mountains between Shenandoah and Great Smoky Mountains national parks was essentially a WPA project during the Great Depression, and proof that good things can come out of bad times.

Crossing the Cascades on U.S. Route 2, from Snohomish to the pseudo-Bavarian ski-resort town of Leavenworth, is a delightful way to add 100 miles to your bike’s odometer. From sea level the road climbs up to 4,056 feet at Stevens Pass, then descends toward the Columbia River. Little side roads run into the Jackson Wilderness or Alpine Lakes Wilderness, with camping along well-named sites like Icicle Creek—yes, it is cold.

Beartooth Pass (10,947 feet) provides some very stimulating riding. I like to stay in the town of Cody, Buffalo Bill’s old stomping grounds, and head out over Dead Indian Pass (8,071 feet) on the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway (State Routes 120/296). Is there a Dead White Man Pass somewhere? Then hang a right onto U.S. Route 212 and climb up over the Beartooth Mountains on a road that was opened in 1936—unforgettable!

I’m sure these are amazing rides and roads… But a bucket list must have the KKH on to do list.

The highest altitude paved International highway, on the Karakoram mountains

Thousands of twisties… Numerous lakes(dudiputsar lake, mahudand lake, saif-ul-muluk lake, lulusar lake, atabad lake, ansoo lake, shangrilla lake etc.)

Babusar pass(13700 feet).. Kalapani… Deosai… Burzil… Skardu…Hunza

These are just a few places en route… And by far the most breath taking places I have ever seen… People forget the Swiss alps on this mountain range.

Maybe these names are just new and unexplored by many but google and you will find abundant pictures.

PS. Not my intention to undermine the effort and thoughts put in by the writer/composer.

Hopefully the road up whiteface mnt in NY is better. 5 yrs ago the road moguls were so bad I joked I should have ridden my dirt bike rather than the cruiser!

Yes the road has been recently redone but the route is off 86 not 48 so no one gets lost.

Agreed. Went up it 5 years ago at Americade and almost wanted to get my toll money back.

Bikings best kept secret – Gran Canaria sushhhhh

We went there for a KTM press launch earlier this year. Yes, Gran Canaria (as well as Lanzarote and Tenerife) are fantastic motorcycling destinations!

Umm Nova Scotia is on the EAST coast of Canada…. if you go “way west” as you suggest, you will be in British Columbia, the opposite side of the country

Not sure how to get to Nova Scotia by heading “way, way West”—the last time I checked the sun rose in the East and that is where that wonderful province is—East from anywhere on the North American continent. Fog was invented there, so be prepared. But regardless of the weather, the people are motorcycle-friendly and the food is filling.

You are correct, that was a typo and it has now been fixed. Thanks!

I am only 61 and been riding for many years. Been to a lot of places on my bike. So was excited to see the 35 and how many I have been on. Disappointed it was only two! After having a hard down a few years back and losing my bike. I cant wait to recover financially to get that new bike and try to make the other 33 on this list!!

Farthest you can ride in North America? Anchor point, ak (west). Prudhoe Bay, also (north). Lodge bay, Labrador. I’m sure some of our readers/riders have been there

Disappointed that all I could see was one paragraph and a picture. No description of any of the journeys.

We’re not sure why you can’t see it Russ. It’s all there and we’ve received many other comments about the article, so we know others are seeing it. If you continue to have trouble, please email us at [email protected] and we can find another way to get the article to you. ~Heather

I’m not able to see the full story either. I’m using Google Chrome on an android device. Is the page “mobile friendly? “

The pre-sunrise colors at Meat Cove on the northern tip of Cape Breton Island were the most spectacular I have seen. Be sure to ride the Cabot Trail in both directions. The Pacific Coast Highway is incredible if you’re from the east .

Not sure why Alaska wouldn’t make your list? We have over a week’s worth of the most incredible, cool, scenic riding. 20 hours of rideable daylight in summer, very diverse landscapes from vast ocean views to the highest majestic peaks in North America. Not to mention abundant wildlife viewing. Except for occasional road construction, the highway conditions are great. You could do an entire article on riding in the Last Frontier!

Starting in British Columbia do not miss this circuit: Vancouver to Lilliouet then down to Merrit about 400k without a straight section then instead of taking the connector to Kewlona or the Coquihalla Highway south to Hope BC unless you want to do more going east along the lovely highway 3 you could go south by just taking twisting 5a to Princeton then head east to Penticton or Osoyoos and head north thru Kewlona to Vernon and on to Lumby BC, gas up and then head east over the Monashee Mountains to Nakusp and on to Nelson BC. Then south to the usa to meet highway 20 and head back west thru Republic and Winthrop Wash over the Cascade Mtns to the coast just a little south of Vancouver. This is a few day circuit, check your maps with no super highways, no boring stretches, just ocean, curves mountains, lakes, curves and forests, even a desert. And little traffic. Not to be missed check your travel guides and images. A couple of thousand kms.

Love that route! I do some variation of it every couple of years. Usually in early Oct. Fires have caused issues in recent years. We’ll keep our fingers crossed for this year.

Clement, Thanks for your most interesting and well-written articles. Especially enjoyed “Adventuring We Will Go: Part III”.

They say that the creator had lots of left over roads, so he crammed them into Tasmania.

Little traffic, good cambers and surfaces, no straight bits..

Sensational.

Nice suggestions. If I may I would add the Tail of the dragon at the end of the Blue ridge and the Kank in NH. Great bucket list.

I certainly agree. Not sure how it could be left off of any “best rides in America” list.

sea to sky highway vancouver canada to whistler canada. breathtaking. bass lake calif, through yosemite national park and out 120 to sonora calif in the winter.

What a list! I am 67 and got my license when I was 50. Rode Harleys, Ultra Classic and a Road King and one year Gold Wing. I have ridden more than 90K miles in the USA. I have checked off the bucket list, 16 places. Every state was more beautiful than I could have imagined. Rode Rt66 from Chicago to LA four times. Great Memories.

In Texas there are the 3 Twisted Sisters in the hill country (FM 335 336 and 337), and El Camino del Rio (FM170) between Lajitas and Presidio to mention the top 4 paved roads in the state. So, where do you pick to put for Texas in the 35 bucket list? An over rated touristy piece of highway kitsch, located on what is probably the most boring section of interstate in the country if not the straightest. That selection makes me doubt any other selection on the list that I’m not already familiar with.

Yep!!! I’ve done the sisters and river road. Way better than 40. The author just hasn’t been to Big Bend or the Hill Country yet.

This article is AWESOME! I’ve already tackled four of these excellent routes. Planning another expedition next Spring, a ride to Maggie Valley, NC over to Georgia. Thanks for publishing this!

Portugal was awesome. Since my mom was born there and her/my relatives still live there, I’ve visited all my life. But back in 2012 I flew over and rented a BMW GS650F from Lisbon and went out discovering the country alone for a week. I would occasionally stay with relatives or campgrounds. Man, lots of great twisty asphalt roads and way out there dirt roads. This is ADV heaven. Sierra Da Estrella is a moto playground.

If you are going to Eastern Canada, keep going to the most easterly part of North America, the beautiful province of Newfoundland. The people are wonderful and so is the scenery.

In Colorado one must ride The Million Dollar Highway. One must not forget about Pikes Peak and Mt Evans.

So many beautiful places in North America to ride!

I can’t believe that you left out Tennessee altogether. What with the TAIL OF THE DRAGON,DIAMOND BACK, THE RATLER, THE SNAKE, AND THE BACK OF THE DRAGON. Not to mention the Cheraholla Skyway. And several other roads that have no name that boarder Tennessee and North Carolina. Some of the most twisted and hairpin turns that I have ever encountered.

Your rides seem to be about the scenery, and if that’s why you ride, then that’s great, but what about the Tail of the Dragon in Tennessee or the Million Dollar Highway in Colorado. I know that everyone rides for different reasons, but for those of us who love the curvy roads, this article was such a disappointment.

You got it right! Several years back I wrote a ‘favorite ride’ piece for Rider on the Three Sisters so I know they know about it! And where is the Million Dollar Highway? Please, the steak place in Amarillo or the MDH? I’ll take the ‘dollar’ any day!

The Million Dollar Highway is part of the incredible Alpine Loop. I live in Durango and you can access it from here or Marcos a few miles west. Durango-Silverton-Ouray-Ridgeway- Telluride- Rico- Dolores-Mancos-Durango. Spectacular one day ride or two days with a stop at one of the hot springs in Ouray or Ridgeway. This is all paved and not just for off readers. Enjoy when you can!

Not to mention Stoner CO. lol

Great list. But the brief passage on New Zealand did little justice to the place that was made for riding. It’s a must to spend 2 or 3 months once in a riders life. Riders Heaven. Mostly ocean side, twisting, pothole free. I’d live there if I could!

Route 66 extends into southern Indiana and is a very beautiful road through the rolling hills of the state with many curves and vast forest to enjoy. If you ever get a chance to ride from Evansville to the Louisville metro are you will enjoy.

THE DRAGON NOT MENTIONED? I’ve ridden it, twice. Come on…..

The Tunnel of Trees is worth the ride up to Northern Michigan and runs from Harbor Springs to Cross Village. Lots and lots of some very tight twisties, unbelievable scenery, especially in the fall and great views of Lake Michigan.

Another must ride in the Alps is the Grossglockner High Alpine Road in Austria. It’s privately owned and there is a toll but worth every penny

The number one motorcycle destination in the country according to the Department of Transportation website is not even on the list. “The Tail of the Dragon” in Tennessee at the NC border. 318 curves in 11 miles with no intercepting roads.

I guess no one ever invited you to Ohio, Mr. Salvatore. Southern And southeastern Ohio are a rider’s paradise. One area in the Hocking Hills, north of Athens, is where Car & Driver magazine brings cars for a test drive, or a “thorough butt-whooping” if you ever drove or rode those twisty hilly roads. There are many beautiful (and technical) stretches of highway in the area, some long & some short, that offer challenging riding, light traffic, excellent surface conditions & beautiful Midwestern scenery. Consider this your personal invitation to come to Ohio and discover the wonderful riding available here. Feel free to contact me and I will personally guide you to some of my favorite places. (I too ride an ST1300 and am a little grey around the muzzle. ????)

Great list, I have completed all those rides and some several times with the exception of those out of the country. We can all ad more of our favorite, some of mine would be in the Yukon and Alsaka but all in all Clement very cool stuff.

Michael Farabaugh

All but 6 and though I haven’t ridden in Portugal I have driven there. Will have to do something about that going down the road???? BTW … The Isle of Man is a super nifty place to ride.

So, a Bucketlist of 35 destinations, and only 5 of them not in the USA? Not much of a Bucketlist. I’ve ridden most of Europe and the US, and many destinations in Africa and Asia, and I can tell you US roads are the most boring, and mostly for cool HD cruising in a lazy speed.

At best this Bucketlist lacks ambition.

Sheesh, will you whiner trolls just relax? Of COURSE there are many many more beautiful roads to ride than what can be put in a reasonable article. Don’t put Dago down for omitting your faves, just go ride the ones you haven’t seen yet and that will make you smile and stop complaining.

As much as I have traveled I still enjoy reading hints of other places, or things to see on the roads I have ridden that I may have passed.

I understand that the list is limited and there are endless great roads. But to include Rt 12 on the Outer Banks while missing so many great roads, is ludicrous. It’s a great place for a vacation, but it’s NOT a motorcycle destination.

Also, Stelvio Pass in Italy needs to go in favor of almost any other mountain road in the Dolomites that doesn’t break up the flow of a nice road with switch backs (speed bumps).

Here’s one that definitely should have made the list. It makes almost everyone’s list. Transfargaran highway in Romania. It does have a few switchbacks, but it’s also over 50 miles long.

Back in 1996 I strapped a tent and sleeping bag onto a rented BMW F650 in Sydney, Australia and rode a 6,000 mile loop around the eastern half of Aus. Some roads were great, some were boring, but it was really the best moto tour I’ve ever done. For 20 years, I’ve wanted to go back to Australia, and ride a loop around the western half. Maybe some day…

Some good rides there but you forgot Vietnam! Awesome riding on or off road. The Ma Pi Leng Pass is one the most popular for good reason. Have a look…. https://viettracks.com/ma-pi-leng-mountain-pass/ Apologies admin if the link is not allowed, please remove it if so.

This year my Wife and I completed a life long tour of North America. In Aug.2019 we crossed into the North West Territories. As we stood at the sign welcoming us, My wife started to cry. We now had ridden our Motorcycle to every Province, Territory and State in North America. All starting from the Kingston Ontario area and never trailered our bike anywhere. Took almost 30 years of two week vacations to complete all of North America. The trip to Alaska, Yukon and NWT. was a 4 week trip and the one to California was a 3 week trip. In 2016 I was told I would never ride again after a “distracted driver” went through a stop sign and I was badly hurt and my leg and arm almost ripped off.. Nine surgeries later I started to dream about riding again. Not only did I ride again, but rode the Top of the World highway and the Dempster highway on a 2017 goldwing with my wife. Which are Gravel!! LOL Doctor’s just don’t understand that “You can’t” doesn’t apply when you love riding more than even pain can stop! I have ridden almost all the North American roads mentioned here except the Millersburg Ferry… Well there is always next season to do it.. BTW I have no favorites they are all beautiful in there own way.. Although going through Toronto, LA, New York city and Chicago during rush hour kinda suck…. Take Care

I’ve been riding for over 60 years now, 5 years in the dirt, 55 years paved, dirt roads and four wheel drive roads all in the Western United States, I still haven’t been on all the roads and that was on my bucket list, I find it incredible and wonderful to see so many other places people have been able to experience, not to sure about riding Texas though, to far between the twisties😁

Nice article, but dude needs to go to South Africa, or broader horizons beyond North America. The western cape is stunningly beautiful, with roads for every appetite. I can’t wait to ride a 1200 GS there and be able to do both road and adventure riding. Beware – stopping frequently to take in the sights is the only safe way to drive! (And the food and wine are out of this world)

I was surprised to see I only ‘captured’ 12 of the 35. But I’ve ridden a number of those that were suggested by other readers so I consider my bucket list better than Salvador’s! Sorry bud!

Kinda sad the Big Texan steakhouse and I 40 were picked for Texas. The only reason to hit Amarillo is for the businesses on old RT66. (support them plz) Otherwise Texas riders avoid that area like the Plague…. er, the COVID 19 Virus!

It’s clear that any Bucket List (no matter how lengthy) will miss rides that are truly memorable. Western North Carolina contains several in this category that Rider has noted over the years, including The Tail of the Dragon and the Cherohala Skyway. Thanks for the new suggested rides that I will add to my personal Bucket list.

Great list…I’m curious how Clem kept his beret on during his bungee jump.

Reading all the comments about the roads not on the list tells me that after 60 years of riding , I would need another 60 to run out of great roads!

Talihina ok to Mena ark via the winding staircase is not on the list give me a break. Also twisted sisters in Texas. Plus Dragon Tail at Dragon city tennessee

Talamena deserves a mention, for sure!

The author not only describes the challenges and highlights of the trip, but also offers helpful tips for other would-be adventurers. This is an enjoyable and inspiring read for anyone who loves to travel or ride motorcycles.

Another great contribution Clement. Keep em coming! And thanks for your service to our country. Chaplain Bob American Legion Post 107

I just road the Pyrenees from Barcelona to Bairritz and back, crossing the Spanish/French border several times. Best riding I’ve ever done.

Leaving South Africa out is a big mistake. We have among the best biking rides in the world with beauty that is breath taking.

The ultimate guide to thrilling adventures on two wheels. From winding coastal roads to mountain passes, these rides offer the ride of a lifetime. Get ready to experience the freedom of the open road

Wow, these “35 Bucket List Motorcycle Rides” sound exhilarating! I can’t wait to embark on these thrilling adventures, from cruising the Pacific Coast Highway to conquering the Tail of the Dragon. Each ride promises breathtaking scenery and unforgettable memories. Time to rev up those engines and check off these epic journeys! 🏍️

You post Tibet but not Tennessee?? Some of the best MC roads in the country!! ?

Fun Motorcycle Rides in and Around Wichita, KS

Some say a motorcycle ride is more about the journey than the destination. Others say the places you go, the sights you see, and the people you ride with make a motorcycle ride worth it. Whatever  you  say, motorcycle rides in and around Wichita, KS, offer the best of both worlds.

Kansas is famous for its wide-open, breathtaking landscape—perfect for the great American road trip. You can enjoy the journey with well-kept roadways and a smooth ride. Below, you’ll find some of our favorite roads to travel in the Wichita, KS, area.

Scenic and Historic Byways

There are nine scenic and three historic byways in Kansas. Each has its share of the open road and beautiful scenery, giving you a grand tour of the Sunflower State.

We love the byways because they flow with the prairies and cliffs. Scenic routes like the Native Stone Byway provide stunning views and a thrilling ride around fun curves. Historic areas like the 167-mile-long Frontier Military Historic Byway take you through quaint towns and battlefields from the mid-1800s.

Historic Route 66 is one of the most recognizable roads in America. This byway runs through part of Kansas and showcases the Midwest’s natural beauty and charm. You can ride across the Marsh Arch Bridge and witness the inspiration that led to movies like Pixar’s  Cars .

U.S. Route 24

U.S. Route 24 allows you to travel faster than the scenic and historic byways but not as fast as the interstate. You can experience the best of Kansas, traveling through various communities and cultures on a more direct route.

Interstate 70

When imagining fun motorcycle rides in and around Wichita, KS, you probably don’t think of Interstate 70. However, I-70 allows you to travel through the entire state in a single day while enjoying an easy ride. You can start the 400-mile trip in Goodland and end in the bustling metropolis of Kansas City, riding through the heart of Kansas past plenty of gas stations, restaurants, and roadside attractions.

The Attractions

Your motorcycle trip through Kansas will lead you to many sights and attractions. There’s always something fun and relaxing if you need a break. When it comes time to drop the kickstand, here are two of our favorite off-road activities and places to visit.

Kansas Motorcycle Museum

We recommend stopping by the Kansas Motorcycle Museum if your motorcycle ride brings you through Marquette, KS. This museum lets you walk through motorcycle history and see over 100 vintage and rare motorcycles, including a bike Elvis Presley owned. You can also experience the incredible legacy of Stan Engdahl, learn about his outstanding career and life work, and see his Harley-Davidson KR up close.

Kansas city royals at detroit tigers odds, picks and predictions, share this article.

The Kansas City Royals (16-10) and Detroit Tigers (14-11) open a 3-game series Friday at Comerica Park. First pitch is scheduled for 1:10 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Royals vs. Tigers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Tigers won 10-3 in 2023, including 5-1 at home vs. Royals

The surprising Royals took 3 of 4 games from the Toronto Blue Jays, cashing each of the past 3 outings as a mild underdog as the Under cashed. The total has gone low in 5 in a row for Kansas City, while cashing the Under at a 9-2 pace in the past 11 games dating back to April 14.

The Tigers were tripped up 7-5 against the Tampa Bay Rays in the 3-game series final Thursday, as Tampa salvaged a game after Detroit won the first 2 games by a combined 11-3 score, both as an underdog. The Over-Under has split in the past 4 games for the Tigers.

Royals at Tigers projected starters

RHP Seth Lugo vs. RHP Reese Olson

Lugo (3-1, 2.03 ERA) makes his 6th start of the season. He has a 1.19 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 4.1 K/9 in 31 IP.

• Last start: Loss, 5 1/3 IP, 4 ER, 9 H (2 HR), 1 BB, 1 K in 5-0 home loss vs. Kansas City Royals on Sunday
• 2024 road splits: Win, 7 IP, 0 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 4 K in 2-0 win vs. Chicago White Sox on April 15 in his only road appearance to date

Olson (0-3, 3.80 ERA) makes his 5th start. He has a 1.45 WHIP, 3.4 BB/9 and 7.6 K/9 in 21 1/3 IP.

Royals at Tigers odds

Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook ; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 5:51 a.m. ET.

• Moneyline (ML) : Royals -105 (bet $105 to win $100) | Tigers -115 (bet $115 to win $100)
• Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS) : Royals -1.5 (+155) | Tigers +1.5 (-190)
• Over/Under (O/U) : 8 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Royals at Tigers picks and predictions

Royals 4, Tigers 3

The ROYALS (-105) are a solid play as slight underdogs in this matinee series opener against the division rival Tigers (-115).

While Detroit dominated the series in 2023, this is a new season. Kansas City has fired out of the chute and played good baseball to date, and it is a solid play behind Lugo, who has allowed very little so far this season.

Run line/Against the spread

The Tigers +1.5 (-190) will cost you nearly 2 times your potential return if you need a little bit of insurance, and you just cannot fathom the idea of taking the Tigers straight up.

If you like the Royals -1.5 (+155), they’re quite a tempting play. However, while they won the final 3 games of the series against the Blue Jays, each of the victories were by a single run.

UNDER 8 ( -110 ) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The total has gone low in 5 straight games for the Royals, while going 9-2 in the past 11 outings since April 14. The Under is 6-1-1 in the past 8 road games for Kansas City, too.

For the Tigers, the Over-Under has split in the past 4 games. However, at home, the Under is 4-2 in the past 6 games. The total has gone low at a 3-1-1 clip in the past 5 games inside the division, too.

Rock trailblazer Heart reunites for a world tour and a new song

NEW YORK (AP) — Heart — the pioneering band that melds Nancy Wilson’s shredding guitar with her sister Ann’s powerhouse vocals — is hitting the road this spring and fall for a world tour that Nancy Wilson describes as “the full-on rocker size.”

“I’ve been strengthening. I’ve got my trainer,” she says. “You go one day at a time and you strengthen one workout session at a time. It’s a lot of work, but it’s the only job I know how to do.”

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers who gave us classic tracks like “Magic Man,” “Crazy on You” and “Alone” will be playing all the hits, some tracks from of their solo albums — like Ann Wilson’s “Miss One and Only” and Nancy Wilson’s “Love Mistake” — and a new song called “Roll the Dice.”

“I like to say we have really good problems because the problem we have is to choose between a bunch of different, really cool songs that people love already,” says Nancy Wilson.

Like “Barracuda,” a sonic burst which first appeared on the band’s second album, “Little Queen” and is one of the band’s most memorable songs.

“You can’t mess with ‘Barracuda.’ It’s just the way it is. It is great. You get on the horse and you ride. It’s a galloping steed of a ride to go on. And for everybody, including the band.”

The tour kicks off Saturday at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina, and will hit cities including Atlanta, Boston, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Detroit, as well as the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado. International dates include stops in London, Oslo, Berlin, Stockholm, Montreal and Glasgow.

The band’s Royal Flush Tour will have Cheap Trick as the opening act for many stops, but Def Leppard and Journey will join for three stadium dates in Cleveland, Toronto and Boston this summer.

Ann and Nancy Wilson will be filled out by Ryan Wariner (lead and rhythm guitar), Ryan Waters (guitars), Paul Moak (guitars, keyboards and backing vocals), Tony Lucido (bass and backing vocals) and Sean T. Lane (drums).

The tour is the first in several years for Heart, which was rocked by a body blow in 2016 when Ann Wilson’s husband was arrested for assaulting Nancy’s 16-year-old twin sons. Nancy Wilson says that’s all in the past.

“We can take any kind of turbulence, me and Ann, and we’ve always been OK together,” she says. “We’re still steering the ship and happy to do it together. So we’re tight.”

The new tour will take them to Canada, which was warm to the band when they were starting out as what Nancy Wilson calls “a couple of chicks from Seattle.” She recalls Vancouver embracing Heart, and touring in one van across Canada in the dead of winter on two lane highways.

The Wilson sisters broke rock’s glass ceiling in the ‘70s and Nancy Wilson says they only had male influences to look to, like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and the Moody Blues.

Now she says she looks out and loves seeing generations of female rockers. “You have boygenius and you have Billie Eilish and you have Olivia Rodrigo and so many amazing women — Maggie Rogers and Sheryl Crow, who calls us her big influence. And then Billie Eilish might have Sheryl Crow as her influence. So it’s a really nice legacy to pass along. I like to say we’re the OG — the original gangsters — of women and rock.”

Heart has made it into the Rock Hall, won Grammys, sold millions of albums and rocked hundreds of thousands of fans but Nancy Wilson has one place she’d still like to shine.

Next year will mark the 50th anniversary of their debut album, “Dreamboat Annie,” which was the same year that “Saturday Night Live” started. “So we’re actually kind of putting it out there — Heart never played on ‘Saturday Night Live.’ But what about the 50th birthday party with Heart?”
