Your favourite road..

and why?
I know which one mine is but I just need to fetch the map to tell you exactly in a min. It's a great monster road as far as i'm concerned and I think Crust and Ade enjoyed it too. It is in the West Highlands. Lovely lefts and rights not a bad surface and best suited to grunty monsters and a backdrop thats lovely if you can bear to stop to look. Sportbikes pah - monsters would eat you for breakfast on this road

Um, the bit of the A39 from Bideford to Bude springs to mind - some of those bends are grrrrreat!

- as long as you dont go when they are silaging etc, cos then its dodge the tractors/mud etc

The road from Woburn to Leighton Buzzard, cant remember what its called, but it crosses the A5 where Wheels Motorcycles used to be. Loads of bends and some nice fast straights too..... :burnout:

when coming back from the isle of man last year i seem to remember the road connecting chester/wrexham to mid-wales being quite straight but very long and very fast with great visibility. I think it was the A483. Maybe if there are any Gogs read this they could tell me cos i cant wait to go back there!

The arrow straight fosse way B4455 from Leicester to Stow, nice long straights that let even my old 1.4 wheezy rover cage to overtake, some nice scenery to boot.

for bends, my favourite local road is the A606 to Nottingham, lovely bends, crests and cambers, but too short, so its all over rather quickly unfortunately!

Dont have to go far for mine.

The Wye Valley from Chepstow to Monmouth. Preferably out with a gang of Ducatis on a summer's evening.

We are spoilt for choice in the Pennines but I do like the Isle of Skye road which goes from Greenfield to Holmfirth. There's a bit of everything there, nice twistys and long straights and a mix of good and bad tarmac with the odd wheelie inducing 'hump' thrown in for good measure :burnout: It is often pretty quiet as well.

The only real downer on this road is the sheep and I have hit one, very hard, and wouldn't recommend it to anyone
