Pfft, US1 in the Keys has more fatal accidents per mile than any other highway in the US.

I've ridden that piece of highway too. Never did see any accidents on it. Leon told me it would take forever to get to Key West. Guess I got lucky.

Holy hell did it ever stink though!!

Accidents happen at certain times, most often when the bars close. I've seen a couple nasty ones there. One was bad enough that they closed down the highway and people pulled grills and coolers out of cars and partied on the Highway.

Saddle Road on the big island rules! Only done it in the car though.

Scary paved road? Parts of the road coming down from Mount Evans, Colorado. Thousand foot drop offs, no shoulder and no guard rails. Steep and twisty? The road from Evergreen to the road going up Mount Evans.

I'd put I-85 in Atlanta in there somewhere. 85-95mph in a 55 won't even grab a cop's attention.

Seriously I would love to check out those roads. Only one I haev is the Gap.

lol highway 1 is right next to me i ride down there all the time sign says 75 miles of curves ahead in carmel its awesome. Not too many accidents but when there are they are fatal, 500+ foot drop offs onto the rocks below

Seems I remember a few on 129 from the overlook to the lake, and on the other end going down to the lodge, but the only ones I remember through the gap were around Suzuki. But I'm old and haven't been through there but once in the past 10 years. They were never painted Federal Park brown. I wished I had picked up one of the old black and white posts that used to be in the curves.
I just didn't want to get caught with one in my truck...
