Default Best back roads?

I live down in Springfield for school most of the year, but am back in Mexico, MO for the summer. Last summer, I got spoiled by some of the great roads down there, but don't know of any good ones up here. Just looking for suggestions as to where to find some twisties.

There are tons.. Mexico is a little north but if you get down on the other side of the river pretty much every road is good :P

I'm up in Mexico a lot for work, you'd be hard pressed to find a decent road up there. Come down to Como sometime or like Cody said, south of Jeff and we'll show you some of the good stuff

You really don't need to cross the river to find good twisties. A lot of the roads south of I-70 can be kind of fun. If Callaway County did a better job of keeping up with there roads some would be really fun.

really, when I said cross the river, thats exactly what I was thinking, to get south of I-70 is more accurate~

Lots of good stuff twoards Hermann, but again most of the good stuff (that I know of anyways) is south of I-70~

Just open a map, go down the road, and mark it good or bad. Thats what we always did down here around Jeff City. You never know you might find something nobody else knows about, that and the experience of just ridin with no destination
