southern riders are the best

[Frank]

Im sorry to admit it ,but dont you all agree that people in the south make much better riders
while you northern lot are hiding away from the snow and frost we're riding around in the sun getting in loads of practice.
Plus we're rich ,therefore the roads are muuuuuuch better

Well seeing as I am more southerly than you, does that mean I'm a better rider than you are then ;)

[the_lone_wolf]

No:Im a hard northerner with b*lls of steel who is used to rubbish roads and bad weather:smt064

[Ol Boc]

Southerners do more miles on their bikes because they have to ride further to find a good pint of beer or a good bag of chips.

Also we have to ride further to find good roads, where you have them on your door step.

[Tim in Belgium]

The roads are so good round me I don't need to go out on them. I just open the garage door, look at the bike, turn and look at the road and I'm done, saves loads on petrol and tyres too.

Southerners, predictable if nothing else.

[Tim in Belgium]

Watch out for the mud in Watchett though.

[Rich]

bridgewater to minehead along the Quantocks

Great route, apart from being stuck behind a three mile long traffic jam. Hope the suns out tomorrow :D. Watchet is as you say abit muddy. Too much farm traffic. Southern riders rule, :safe:

[Frank]

[Tim in Belgium]

I was talking about the estuary, I mean Bristol channel, with regards to the mud.

I get the best of both worlds when i go stay wi me dad in notts. (I'm from up north too) I think the road surfaces are rubbish up there for bikers. They only just managed to sort out snake pass and then a landslide put that back to the state it was in i expect.

[hovis]

1000 sheep road

[Rich]

unless you nasty southerners are watching me push

Hey i thought you were over that by now :(. I never found out the reason for your pushing anyway, what was it?

[Frank]

Just look at the roads we have to endure...
(BTW...No one can deny we ride on the RIGHT side of the road) :smt042

Maaaaaan, your line is all wrong in that photo (if that is indeed you?) ;-)
Proof indeed that southern (USA) riders are NOT the best :-P
And I bet that photo doesn't show the road either side of that bend (probably goes straight on for hundreds of miles in either direction :smt042)

Mind you, you DO have some decent traffic laws over there :thumright:

[Warthog]

lovely bends, you even get them cambered for you!

That's not me ...I took the photo.
Must have been some chap from the north! :p ;) :D

That's a picture from The Dragon (aka: tail of the dragon,the Gap, Deals Gap) in North Carolina.
318 turns in 11 miles!!!
Some lovely off camber turns as well.

I've ridden The Dragon (and Cherohala), lovely road (the whole of the surrounding area is great too). Fewer knobbers pushing their luck than you'd get in the UK (still saw some cabbage on Ninja chuck his bike down the bank), but generally the pace was much slower and riding much more conservative than you'd get over in Blighty. :)
