One of the best roads on the other side of US....
is down near the Tennessee and North Carolina border. Try this URL:
www.tailofthedragon.com
It has 318 curves in a 11 mile stretch on US 129. My wife and I drove it this summer and it is absolutely fantastic!! I definitely recommend it.
Also, the Blue Ridge Parkway is tough to beat as well.

i love driving around my parent's house in upstate NY. it's farm country with lots of back roads that are in good shape with no cops around anywhere! that can also get you in trouble though as i found out recently. beware of blind hills!!!!

It's 99 from Howe Sound (North Vancouver) to Whistler. It will be redone for the 2010 olympics. I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing.

I have to agree with russbert. The roads here in Western North Carolina are a hoot to drive. I've only been living here for about three months so I haven't gotten a chance to try many, but one that I especially enjoy is N.C. Highway 221 from Pineola to Blowing Rock. This road parallels the Blue Ridge Parkway but has probably 4 times as many curves with many switchbacks. Deals Gap and the roads around there are on my list for next spring.

California 1 (PCH) almost anyplace from Santa Monica north to whenever you get tired. US 395 from San Diego north, in particular north of Bishop. California 49 (Gold Country).
