The Serpent of 62 and Other Great Roads Around Madison, IN

This is a story about a lifelong love of motorcycles and an appreciation for curves. It’s also a tale of how I was lucky enough to end up living in the midst of some of the best roads in the country. 

Madison, IN, is known for a lot of things, from its historical architecture to boat racing and a lively music scene. What it’s not as well known for (although that’s about to change) is its wealth of twisty and scenic riding routes, traversing everything from smooth sweeping highways to rugged gravel country lanes. 

I’m a lifelong motorcycle fanatic. I have never not owned at least one bike my entire life, starting with that first obligatory mini bike at age of 12. Today, I have a vintage BMW road motorcycle and a Honda dual sport.
