quit Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Depends what you want Got a good top speed run near me that the top secret supra got caught on
Gaulson Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Can't beat roads in the Yorkshire Dales... just about any road around there is great. Same with Scotland as they look after their roads. In the Lakes I really enjoy the road that goes past Buttermere... when my Subaru is back on the road I shall go up there and get a video :)
scoobyranger Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 Road trip today I think. Gonna try Wolds I think to louth circuit back round from grimsby/cleethorpes then head completely opposite way either peak District or Yorkshire dales.
quit Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 got a good stretch near me of twisty B roads then a massive long strait of about 8-9miles but its pretty busy and some bad accidents happen along it so gotta use it at right time
stants Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Not seen that supra vid for ages always makes me laugh ! Have the Yorkshire dales 20mins in one direction peak district 40 mins in the other and north York moors an hour to the north east, spoilt for choice round here. 1
quit Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 yeah, my mates dad used to work for max power, i was 14 when it happened ! remember the news the following day lol
stants Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 What happened to the car, I presume the old bill seized it ? Always asked the question of why didn't he just smash it down the autobahn ?
quit Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 he went all over the world, if you youtube him he has been to most countries to just cause havoc, Saw one of him in a R35 being silly No idea! , Remember the max power lot getting accused of all sorts and the police at the offices in peterborough
stants Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Just trying to find out the fate of said car, just says he was locked up for the night, fined £190 & deported. Bet the look on plods faces was hilarious.
WideSam Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I'm about 45minutes from dartmoor. Empty roads and you can see along them for miles. Perfect combination!
Jay762 Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 yeah, my mates dad used to work for max power, i was 14 when it happened ! remember the news the following day lol How old do I feel now :P
confusedbrog Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 I do need to try the dales at comes point. If anyone is up cumbria way I recommend penrith to hartside, Alston, Middleton in teas dale then back to the a66 at Brough
Dino Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 M11 - you can boot it for miles without s-trap or cop$, especially after dark when they're all in the cop bar. 1
DaiP Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 There's a great bit of road near me which goes between the A470 in the Brecon Beacons to a place called Penderyn. It's open moorland so you can see along the road for miles with nice fast flowing bends. There's even a whiskey distillery at the one end. I love to ride or drive it early on a Sunday morning when there's no-one else on the roads. Just got to watch out for sheep and the occasional pony wandering out.
david1972 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 The road from Alston to Penrith is a fave of mine....can't remember the name but there's only one, so Google maps will reveal all lol Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk
Dino Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Found this... it's a good read for neat bits of road to try out. http://www.speedlimit.org.uk/drivingroads.html
Rizmo Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Snake pass and Cat and Fiddle pass in the Derbyshire Peaks can be "interesting", especially if the bikers are about! Lot of the main roads in the High Peak are 50 limit, but still great scenery, with twists and turns and some steep hills. Just don't go during school holidays, as the roads are full of tourists and their caravans. Must add I have nothing against caravans, but they do get in the way of a good run out. 1
richr Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Kirkstone Pass and the road that the slate mine is on Both in the lakes we had a bike meet up there a few years ago with single cylinder supermotos mucho fun was had
Dino Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 This is worthwhile looking at: http://www.msn.com/en-gb/travel/adventuretravel/5-breathtaking-road-trips-in-england-and-wales/ar-AAaWg8u?ocid=HPCDHP#page=1
confusedbrog Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 I can recommend number 3 is hartside pass. I usually go to brough after Middleton in teas dale instead of carrying on to Haydon bridge 1
