From what I've heard of the Gap, I'd say anywhere but. LEO, semis, lane crossers, etc, etc, etc, in 10x the numbers you'd find anywhere else doesn't sound like fun to me.

Well when you have a seasoned gap local like me and a lot of forum members that have been to the gap by now, it's not a bad place. We make sure we do gap runs when leo's are at a minimum or nonexistent. These times are also during slow times in the gap where what you describe is rare. Most semi's are escorted now. It's not as bad as you hear. Plus that is one road. This place is filled with roads that aren't packed during the middle of the day. It's paradise down here.

There are better roads than that like drewpy's pancake road and the little dragon. Riding out to highlands is always a blast too.

Go further north? Why the hell would we want to go where it's cold??

Besides.. coming from Texas (or anywhere west) is WAY farther of a drive than you pansies up north.

Y'all could always come south... we have a track (hosted by our very own Azoomm) and lots of twisties.
