Try driving in Montreal.

First time I did it, I was in the fast lane following a pickup in a Mazda Mystere doing about 140-145 and I come around a corner and traffic was stopped dead. I was on the brakes as hard as possible and stopped with my bumper so close to the truck I was following that I turned to my gf and actually asked, "Did we hit them?".

Done it in 1988 on a Guzzi V50



2) Stelvio Pass, Italy



Located in the Eastern Alps in Italy, the Stelvio Pass Road connects the Valtellina with Merano and the upper Adige valley. This mountain road pass is situated at an altitude of around 1.7 miles above sea level. The road is particularly challenging to drive due to the presence of 48 hairpin bends, with the road becoming exceedingly narrow at some points, and some very steep inclines. With a height of 2757 meters, it is the highest paved mountain pass in the Eastern Alps and the second highest in the Alps, after the 2770 m high Col de l’Iseran. While it might not be as dangerous as the other routes, it is certainly breathtaking. The toughest and most spectacular drives are from the Prato side. The mountain pass is one of the best continuous hairpin routes in the world.

To be honest, I rode so many awesome roads during this time, that they all "blend" together: I had a couple of weeks off and just headed south to the alps and road as many German, Austrian, Italian, Slovenian and Croatian passes I could find on the map. I ended up spending a few days in Croatia on the beach and made my way back "sideways" through the Alps. Since I rode mostly by myself I did not take many breaks and just rode.... picked another pass, rode, camped, rode.... and rode.... good times

That would be an amazing trip. I've done it twice in the Blue Ridge and Great Smokey Mountains and had an amazing time... just thinking of doing it in the Alps makes my hair stand on end.

Damnit....I read it in an article and having trouble finding it. I'll work on it.

PC might know.

Any freeway in Atlanta should be on that list as dangerous as hell. Eff that.
