Those who ride motorcycles already know that a motorcycle can take you most any place you want – including Happyland (Oklahoma). And who would not enjoy a motorcycle trip to Loveland (Colorado)?
You can also ride to Hell (Michigan) and, if you go in the winter, you might actually see Hell freeze over. Other devilish places to visit include Hellhole Palms (California), Hell Hollow (New Hampshire), and Satans Kingdom (Vermont).
Of course there are also places that have heavenly sounding names such as New Haven (Connecticut), Paradise (California), or Eden (Mississippi). Riding to Paradise just has a nice ring to it!
If naughty is more your style, there are places with very suggestive names which can provide tons of fun such as Desire (Pennsylvania), Hooker (Oklahoma), Intercourse (Pennsylvania), Climax (Georgia), and Conception (Missouri). After all that, you may need to visit Embarrass (Wisconsin).
The United States has more than its share of places associated with animals. From Chicken (Alaska) to Camel Hump (Wyoming), there is never going to be a shortage of towns with animal magnetism.

There are towns with creepy animal names that might make one think twice before stopping for a picture at the town limit sign.
