    Best local "photo" road opinions!

    Alright guys, the majority of us have hit some pretty good roads during our time on two wheels. Here's a good question though. Of all those roads, which ones can you remember having at least 1 perfect turn that would make it the ultimate spot to set up a film/photo crew?

    The perfect spot would need at least (but is not limited to) a few of the following. . .

    1) Good runoff (zero runoff being unacceptable for this application)
    2) Lack of housing, or any other means of creating much attention
    3) Good to great pavement
    4) Good to great line of sight through the corner
    5) A spot for a truck and/or several bikes to park
    6) A nice smooth, flowing radius (better for knee down antics)
    7) A good straight away at least on one exit (for good power wheelie antics)
    8) A location known for little to no traffic.

    You get the idea. Anyhow, for any ideas, try and find your little gem on Google Maps and then post the link to it. We'll all discuss what's posted and then I'll start a list of these spots in the bottom of this post.

    Tip: once you find something on Google Maps, in the top right hand corner will be a link that says "Link to this page". Click that, and the address bar at the top of your browser will now contain the link directly to the spot you have found

    There is that left hander on Brooks hill that I alway can touch down on but its a two-lane highway and traffic is too heavy to set up cameras.

    I've been on Elmira circle or what ever that 1.5 lane road that goes to Elmira church is called. I had some decents turns and straights and with the leaves off the trees you can see around most corners.

    I thought about Elmira too, but doesn't that one have a decent concentration of houses? I've only been down it twice, and both times were FAST. So I don't remember the actual surroundings too much. Either way, may be worth checking out

    There are some houses out on it as you get closer toward 44. The end by Brooks is pretty bare IIRC.

    Mt. Elmira wouldn't be bad in a couple spots. jsryzf600 was telling me about a road he found up in In. but I can't remember what it was called. I think he said it was up around Heneryville.
