Long straight roads - boring unless your destination is the purpose as opposed to the ride. Stop light to stop light - boring and frustrating. Showing off - that's not a ride, that's parking.
Nope, has to be twisties. Doesn't need to be a switch-backed mountain road (although those are fun), but a country road with sweeping curves, tight blind corners, and hilly terrain is just the perfect ride.
I agree 100% there is nothing better than a winding open road away from traffic. Riding creates awareness of the surroundings that you just don't get in a car, this includes the sights and the smells (and the occasional taste).
I like slow windy roads in the mountains, 20-25 mph, no traffic someplace where I can flip my helmet, smell the pine trees and just immerse myself if the moment.

Twisties. No question.

Give me twisties any day! Echo everything Canajun said already.
