Highway 25 is great if you can manage to run it without getting stuck behind a car.
SR176 is absolutely beautiful. It's north of Gadsden.
SR281 up and down both sides of Cheaha are also great fun.

I've been going up there quite frequently... it's not so bad. Certainly enough grip to have fun.

I've met some sport bikers up there who complained a bit... I honestly can't tell the difference. But, while I do burn off my chicken strips on that road, I don't treat it like a race track.

[Mykl]

[machburger]

Thanks, I'm gonna check out some of those. Found SR176 on the map and it looks good. I figured there were some great roads heading north toward lookout mtn.

Nice bike Mach, I haven't even laid eyes on one of those yet.

Only thing about SR176 is that there tends to be a lot of gravel thrown at very bad places. So run it once at a sane speed so you can get the feel for where the spots are. The pavement itself is excellent.

Overall it is a very fun road and it's so tight that you can't really get much speed up on it. The main limiting factor is vision, you just can't see very far around most of the curves. Still, it's a beautiful road with very nice scenery if you care to stop at one of the many overlooks.
