Best Corners!!!

[carelesschucca]

Whats your top three sets of corners on public roads...

Mines are (in no particular order)

1. The right hander then long left on the M876 just after the Kincardine Bridge I love them...

2. The Curve at the end of Loch Fyne (Clachan) A long sweeper (just great)

3. the last three corners going into St Fillans along the A85, fast sweepers.... Hmm sex!!!

The sloping hairpins at the end of the Duke's pass proper... The shellgripped left hander at the bottom of my road (corner of Riccarton Mains Road and the Calder Road, by the park and ride) and... Hum, not sure. It's almost certainly on the A470 between Newtown and Dovey though.

To date...

The 2nd last left hander before the Bein Inn on the glenfarg road heading south. 1st and only knee down on a cbr125 (I'll get my coat!)

Spooky woods descent glentress, large sweeping berm leading into 4foot ramp with 12 foot air. Specialized Stumpjumper full sus, full body armour, 1 manpower (It is a corner after all - I'll get my ther coat) 8) 8) 8)

Pillion on 99 fireblade, on the a82 just past bridge of orchy heading towards glencoe. It's the uphill corner series past the concrete bridge. It was that what got me hooked on bikes.

Caputh to Miekleour a984 just passed spittalfield - long straight, kink left before long sweeping right hander. SV last Thursday. So good, u-turned and did it again.

The left hander on the A7 just after Heriot if you're heading north. You can see everything for miles, so no worries about being caught out by some corner cutting Corsa. 8)

Heh, I think that's where my mate Chris broke his collarbone :)

Yes!!! Had my toes down there a couple times :lol: 8)

If you are going down the A7 to Galashiels, the last left hander just before the 40mph sign as you get into Gala :thumbsup: It goes on forever!

There is a combination of corners on the A68 going uphill just before you crest (with the burger vans at the top) and cross into England. There is one very sharp left hander just as you get going which is a lot sharper than you think and you touch down in an effort not to run wide :lol: :lol: It's worth visiting England for (for all those who hate the English)

Well there was one on Sunday morning, maybe someone from the Central Belt can confirm.

1) Coming from Doune on the A820 to head northbound on the A9, you exit the roundabout and short straight into the corner before you hit the dual carriageway. A lovely constant radius downhill left that becomes the sliproad onto the A9. I overtook a 5 series Beemer halfway round it at gawd-knows-what-speed leaning like a demon. :twisted: If thats the place, i wanna go back!

2) Not entirely sure about the location of this one either, did it about three summers ago. The A95, heading for Glenfarclas Distillery from the south. From looking at the map... i think it might be Bridge of Avon at Delnashaugh Inn. It's an uphill left, quite steep and tight but not a hairpin and smothered in shellgrip. Lurvely.

3) A87 Dornie bends. A series of left-right-left-rights with good vis. Purists would say do it heading south. I do it any old way! Especially when testing bike setup. Caution: local racers & chav hangout, casualties/fatalities not unheard of. :(

I like that one too, but you gotta watch out for the 40 at the end.

For No. 2) I think this is it. An absolute corker. Actually theres loads like this in the Grantown/Speyside area.
