      Looking at the road map they showed, there are a lot more turns on the road from Canada to the Dragon than there are from Oklahoma.

        Hi Greg,
        Come on UP any time If you have the time we can find you a route up through WV and PA that is seldom straight as you rise and drop over the hills and mountain valleys of Appalachia.

          That makes two of us. I watched it all too. Actually was not bad at all.

            From here in North Georgia, you can pretty much ride into Nova Scotia until the pavement ends and not run out of curves. A more westerly route will have you twisting and turning until Western New York. To Oklahoma, not so much.
