Default Mountain drive

I’m looking at getting in some mountain roads before leaving northern GA next week.

this one seems the closest.


I drove this a couple years ago in my 6spd JSW. It’s pretty good and I think I can snap a good shot of the S with a waterfall backdrop.

Anyone have any suggestions?

This is what the Google told me

Think I got a good route here. I’m not 100% if I can drive the route north from Springer.

Not sure the source of your maps so this may be redundant:

The website "motorcycle roads" has many wonderful roads for the S2000. Glacial loading on my system. Just give it a chance.

I used to love taking my motorcycle up US 129/19 to Vogel State Park, crossing on GA 180 to Suches, and heading back down GA 60.

Then I moved to Idaho, where the roads aren't nearly as fun.

Yep that loop is great
I also used to do 60 up Suches, wolf pen gap to 348, up 180 to brasstown bald for pictures, and down 17 to helen
Can't go wrong in the area.
Has been quite hot from what I hear over the last few years with police presence.

The Wolf Pen Gap route mentioned above is great. You can swing into Bridgemoto Cafe as well which is a motorsports themed cafe & shop.

trip was amazing! Can’t wait to do it again when my son gets his license


Great time wrapping up a track night at Road Atlanta.

Hill crest at turn 11, best roller coaster drop.

Made it up to Springer Mountain

Fall high in the distance

It’s really pretty country in this part of GA.

This little guys was Tuckered out and we ended up not making it to Wolf Pen gap. There’s always next time.

Very cool man. I'm looking forward to the day when my son is old enough to ride in the AP1.

Yeah, we had a good time. I let him drive on some of those back roads, he likes the S but still rough on the clutch. Good thing I replaced it last year.
