Let me know when you're around Santa Cruz area, I'll take you around local rides...

Kam

I will, my uncle lived in Capitola, beautiful area!

S Indiana near Louisville ride every day rarely gets below 10 degrees and Ice is only on road more than 3 days a year lots of farm country and rolling hills.

Good point.

Talihina, Oklahoma.

I looked this area up, asked my brother in law about it. He doesn’t ride, but he said as long as you don’t get too far off the beaten path ( he said the marijuana growers in that area will shoot you it looks very nice!

Ecuador

Let me know when some of us who are interested can go there with you 👍

I sit around and ponder stuff like this, too, from my home in Tennessee. ;-) On my previous bike, a K16GT with great wind protection and heated everything, I could extend the season here just a bit more than I can on the GS.

My guesses would have been SoCal and Las Vegas.

I loved Tennessee. Followed the Blue Ridge Parkway from Tennessee to Virginia a few years ago.

I think the consensus says that San Diego area is the best for year round riding. I mentioned this to my buddy and he said as soon as California falls into the ocean I will want to move to Durango CO for the beach front property.

Baja and Mexico.

Baja and Mexico.

Let me know when you’re there..love to meet someone who know the area

North Georgia. Hardly ever snow, or extreme cold. Close proximity to the mountains, lots of fire roads, Cherohala Skyway, The Dragon. Can't beat it.

San Diego...the riding sucks when you head west though.

Southeast Oklahoma is a relatively decent part of the state that isn't all flat with roads on a grid system, and for in-state riding, by far my favorite part. However, I think I would give up my nearly "year-round" riding here to be able to ride regularly in Colorado during the riding season. In the past 2 weeks I've ridden 3 times and it's snowed twice, which is about par for Oklahoma winters (maybe not the snow, but ice or below freezing temps), but unless you are in SE OK, it's generally flat and straight roads.

The topo map says it all.

20 years ago I lived in Wichita and rode a few times into Oklahoma. The flatlands have their beauty but not much for elevation or twisties in the west and central part of the state.

25 years ago I visited SE OK in college. I was amazed how great the landscape and roads were. All goes well this Memorial Day I'll be back there on the bike. Covid-wise the lack of people there is a bonus. A Northern Colorado trip is on the list for this year too...

Went to and stayed in Blue Ridge Georgia, which is where you mentioned. I agree. North Georgia has sweet riding roads and proximity to the surrounding states. One can never run out of riding roads and off roads up there. Get up there mid week and avoid the Atlanta weekend crowd.

Seems like everytime I see winter weather in OK its an ice storm?

great!

If anyone is interested I’d be happy to show you around Colorado. There are very few places I can’t tell you where I like to eat and stay, and the reason why, plus where to camp.

Definitely the case in Northern Okla...even Dallas gets ice at times. When I lived in Wichita the one benefit was snow/ice typically melted fast.

Northern California (no, not Bay Area), in the valley offers riding weather year-round. From this morning's loop:

 

[Motormike]

Southern California if you can afford it and tolerate the politics. Northern Georgia isn't too bad, good roads, low cost of living, but January and February are pretty cold most of the time.
