hey, anyone know of any twisty roads on LI or queens? preferably one thats a decent length....?

the only one that i've found, which really isn't GREAT is post road, north of jericho tpke (after westbury HS)....

I usually "play" on the twisty roads in Brookville, Upper Brookville, Old Brookville, etc.... area. Heading west on Northern Blvd, I usually hang the first right after 106, and head towards the Arboretum. Follow the signs to the Arboretum and you will find some nice twisty, narrow roads with almost no traffic (the one that actually passes the Arboretum entrance is especially fun). Especially fun at night, but don't wrap yourself around a tree. Eventually you'll get to Chicken Valley Road, which has a lot of smaller roads branching off of it that are fun.

Luckily this route is on my way home from work, so i usually drive through there to unwind.

...werd im down to cruise a nice road.

buster71

Hell ya. Spend an hour blasting down your favorite twisties, clear up your mind, and all it costs you is a gallon or so of gas. Well, a heck of a lot more if you get pulled over by the fuzz...

kocho333

well cmon now thats not even supposed to be talked about...its bad luck.... when u guys gonna drive over there again?

i was down there my first and only time about 2-3 wks ago. definately a nice cruise. dont remember where it is exactly but i look forward to the next time i find it

buster71

OOOOoooo, last Sunday I got myself lost in Locust Valley, Bayville, Mill Neck, etc... Defintiely some nice roads to play on there. Some of those roads up by the shoreline are pretty hilly and extremely twisty. Too bad I really had no idea where I was so it will be hit or miss whether or not I can find those again. North Shore LI is definitely a fun place to cruise through. And those houses are unreal....

i never went as far north as bayville but im def going to try to cruise it this weekend after i install my intake. so far its the best place ive seen on LI for joyriding

kocho333

I personally like the drive from glen cove road on the service road out to route 25 by home depot.
and if you really want a drive out in suffolk on rt 25a in miller place all the way out to riverhead and then from there to montauk....

jkuz99

yup its a good drive as long as you have the time cause its definately a long one.

El_fuego

Here's a video representation of the route I enjoy taking on my way home from work:

Heading west on Nothern Blvd (25A) make a right onto Mill River Road for this:

Then make a right at the T-intersection to connect back to 25A.

Happy driving...

Cool vids man. This area looks soo familiar but everytime Im driving on roads in this area Im never sure of the names of them.

hey buster, how'd you mount the camera?

buster71

i used a Gorllapod (www.joby.com) wrapped around my passenger seat headrest. The Gorillapod is pricey, but useful if you are into photography.

I work at the Mill River country club which is right there, and thats the path I take to get to work (coming from glen cove). Quite honestly, those roads aren't that fun compared to what else is around, plus its A SPEED TRAP...I hope people read that before that go and have too much fun over there, you can even see the cops radar machine in the 1st video from Buster.

Anywhere around old brookville is NOT the place the speed - you tone it down there and do the speed limit b/c they will hit you with a ticket for nothing. This is 21 years of experience talking and EVERY member of my immediate family (5 of us) has gotten a ticket there and not 1 deservedly so.

(not that you were speedy buster, this is the other guys who think they can toy around over there)
