I would love to ride up there, but too concerned about an oncoming driver in my lane when I come around a corner.  Not much room for error up there.

Not sure if you realize that you pooped in a motorcycle thread.
The irony isn't lost on me.

Nothing in AZ beats having breakfast in Tortilla Flats.

Go in pairs on those roads. If you can.
We were headed back from a successful hunt and one minute we saw somebody draggin their knee, the next he was gone.
About a 75 foot fall. We helped stop traffic for the bird, which half hovered half landed,
and helped the rescue with their ropes while they dragged what was left of him and air evaced him to the closest hospital.
If we weren't there at that exact moment, they may have never found him.

That's half the excitement. staying in my lane and hoping around the next corner there wasn't an accident or someone isnt crossing the lines. I can be a thrill junkie.

Somehow I ended up with some Caduceus wine.

3rd time through Paulden but first time I realized the world famous Gunsite is in that podunk town.

Anyone know what that "Liberty" building in Jerome used to be?

The road going in is trashed, and this time of year, it's all boats all the way to the bottom. I'd rather ride up north, if given the opportunity.

I guess you don't get out much. The food sucks, the service is slow and that road is only mildly interesting if you just started riding. AZ has so many other beautiful roads both tar and forest roads to be discovered.

Up through Yarnell to Prescott is fun, but I also like the ride up to Payson. Lazy turns that I can do at speed. Went all the way up to the Crater once through Winslow. Long ride, but damn, it was fun.

1930 directory says 2 business named "Liberty" in Jerome: Liberty Garages & Liberty Theatre.  Been so long since I've been up there, I don't know which one you might be referring to.

It's behind a Hotel Connor. I'm thinking maybe theatre. It has an outline of where a huge eagle emblem might have been on the side of the building. Looks neat.

I always wanted to go to 4 corners... I believe there was a route 666 up there (since renumbered) that is supposed to be good but that's way out yonder in the Chattahootchie.

Exactly. But yeah, Jerome as a whole, awesome trip. Don'tt forget to try out Maynard's (from Tool) wine while you are up there, Caduceus. It's made right in the valley there.

Jerome, then blow through Sedona, then the old highway to Flag. Fucking awesome ride. Whaever that old route is through Oak Creek makes Jerome roads look tame and short. I miss my Z2000

I think that is 89A if I am not mistaken, and yeah, one of my fav highways here in AZ.

Was talking to a guy who rode his BMW  " through Az" , and commented on how boring it was .
I said "You never left I-17, did you.".

Yep, he never did.  Took my pulling up Google Earth, and showing him the "fun route" from Flagstaff to Wickenburg to convince him.

If you want a good ride on a bike head up 266 from Safford to Riggs Lake.  On a street bike you'll be good until the last 12 miles, which is dirt, but the ride up to that point alone is a blast...
