Zero memorized.

As the redneck oil pourers at the gap proved, the roads surface can change even thought the turns don't.

Like Karl says, you never know what's around the next corner. And most of them are blind around here. The memorizing helps me know where a safe place to pass a car is located.

I have certain corners of certain roads some what memorized but nothing in full detail. I used to know the roads better but since I don't ride on them every weekend I can't remember.

I might agree completely with this list. But I have 1 of the 3. I just need the other 2.

I used to have 1431 out to Marble Falls memorized when I first started riding. Someone told me it was a great beginner road. I worked at a golf course at the time and if it was even a little cold, I didn't go to work. So at least 3 or 4 times a week I would hop on my ninja and head out there.

Since I never really rode with other people I have no idea if I was fast or not. I just went as fast as I felt comfortable.

I'm extremely familiar with GA 9 all the way up from my work to 129 / Blood Mountain. Getting familiar with GA 129, 180, 60.

WHOA... we just need to live closer and get a vrod. Then we'd be set! Maybe tell Uma its for her... then we can just borrow it. SCORE!
