Kingman  AZ. to Topoc AZ.  Mohave County 10 (Oatman Road) / Mohave county 153  (Old Highway 66)
125 curves  (or more , the map isn't easy to figure , I'll have to ride it again) ;D
53.5 miles  1hour 55 min.
Twisties 65
hairpin turns 15
sweepers 50
Twisties to sweepers ratio, on the first 30 miles is probably, 80% twisties , including the hairpins.
The ratio on the second 23.5 miles, is 85% sweepers 15% twisties.
The 8 miles before Oatman, passing through Gold Road, are the most challenging.
Impressive desert mountain scenery , old mining operations , "ghost" town of Oatman. The part of the road through Gold Road  is the hardest, as your watching the road for donkeys , donkey poop, and trying to keep an eye out on the ruins of old miners shacks and mines. Some of this area has been used in several movies , including "How the west was won"
The part from Golden Shores to Oatman  has lots of whoop t doos. I have run through there around 105 and carried the front wheel off the top of the whoops. Great fun!!! :o :o :o :o ;D
This road is a great combination of  super sharp turns, white knuckle sweepers and  straights, that will test your top speed!
