depends on how you define "crooked"?

Probably one of the most famous ones, ridden many times.
Lolo Pass.




This one I saw and turned around being on the Goldwing with a passenger. Next time it will be on a V85.

Geoff from Almonte had told me about the Snye Rd up in the White Lake area, I might be hazy on the details, but something like 100 curves in 10 kms?

This picture is at the start of it, Geoff was right, it was a 2nd & 3rd gear only rollercoaster ride.

as you've probably found out, that road is really in very good shape and the turns are easily done--it was originally meant for large, heavy equipment, after all.  Your Goldwing would have had no problem.

Sorry, this is off-theme, but it is at least a sign and it's a good example of what happens when town* maintenance is put off year after year...  I'm sure the people who live here know what street they're on.
