Went and explored the Lakes today with one of my biker friends and his bike Squinty (one of the GS things....he gets upset when i say it looks like someone has just shoved something rather large up its exhaust pipe.....)
Anyway its a stunning road and would highly recommened it if you are over here! If nothing else its really funny to watch the idiots on Harleys try and fail Razz

So it is! Was that stretch of the road horrendously bumpy when you did it?

Norwegian (side)roads.

Thanks for the memory Becky - I burnt out the clutch on my first Yamaha 250 near the top of Hardknott Pass in 1980. Some eejit in a Volkswagon coming downhill wouldn't give way and trying to restart the climb on that bike with a pillion was a bit too much for it. Now for the spooky coincidence - just this morning I found a few pictures of that very bike!!

Looks a lot like South Island New Zealand country side.

Would be hard work getting a hardly up that hill or even worse down it.
