I vote curvy at highway speeds because that is mostly what I ride. BUt I also love scenic roads and the twisties too.
Sometimes I like to just cruise and forget about everything, and sometimes I like to get down and see what my bike and myself are made of. It's all good.

I answered curvy city streets under highway speeds. I like to take it easy in the curvy and hilly roads throughout my area where the speed limit is more like 35 than 65. I prefer city streets for the frequent stops, places to pull off, and life.

I'm discovering so much more of my local area now that I'm exploring a bit instead of sticking to major roads in my car.

It's a hard one to answer for me as I just love riding them all. :D But if I had to choose I'm with jonnythan's philosophy over the exploring, frequent stops, places to pull off, and life. I enjoy doing that just a tad more in the country side so I voted for Scenic as I love going at slower speeds so I can enjoy looking at and smelling* what's around me. :D

Although I LOVE the tunnels. Nothing like a motorcycle and a clear tunnel for a good loud run. :twisted:

Ummm, I guess I shouldn't be promoting that... :frusty:

Mike


* like smelling fresh hay, bread, flowers, just ended rain, etc while riding down the road...Although manure isn't all that great of a smell in the country side... thank god for visors! lol. :laughing:

I personally enjoy rural curvy roads below highway speeds. If you can do highway speeds, they aren't curvy enough :)

Mountains...
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

I voted scenic, but I really would have put down any road, if it had no traffic... :roll: :laughing:
