Bennetts insurance of the United Kingdom conducted a survey to see what are the most desired places in the world for motorcyclists to drive, according to Motorcycle News.
The winner was the Great Ocean Road, a 250-mile stretch along the southeastern coast of Australia.
Not far behind in second place was Route 66.
Not the Pacific Coast Highway. Not Highway A1A in Florida. Not even any the spectacular coastal highways of Europe.
It was Route 66.
That’s great. But next time, we need to take it to No. 1.
Even though we were second, I can personally attest to that Great Ocean Road drive. It starts west of Melbourne. That is some of the most striking scenery I’ve ever seen. Plus, the Twelve Apostles rock formations off the coast.
Interesting to note third place as the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Some of our soldiers got to do that one during the Vietnam War.
