Those are the only steeeeeeep hairpins on that run. I just about managed, its not the bike, I have a phobia of steep left hand downhill bends. Everything to the right is fine, can go up them all too....just not down left, very odd, and harks back to my early days with the SV

The route we took, was Howarth, Pendle watery thing, Colne, Trawdon, Cold thingy bob, Widdop, Hebden. give us five and I'll link it up, so if you ever get down this way you can play

Nice one cheers Lou. Im rubbish on the twisty stuff still after my off just cant shake it, will keep trying though

[dizzyblonde]

We all have our demons hun, both me and smudge were nipping wide when people and things pulled quick into view. Me because of that bloody deer, Smudge because of his off.....none of us are perfect, and if we claim we are superior, and our technique is advanced.......we'd be feckin lying!
I'm just glad I can handle any bike after having the caesarian, its major surgery, and some ladies can't do anything for 12 months, I must be well hard, I got back on after six weeks! I'm physically and mentally not quite where I should be yet, which is why I enjoy the company of those riders who are just happy to enjoy a day ride taking in scenery, and not gunning it everywhere to prove a point.

Im guessing you just well hard I know what you saying as if i go out in a group i often get left behind as im not a redliner either more of a tootler anyway i better stop derailing.

What's the pendle watery thing? Tis a cracking road, done it a fair few times on the 125 now, one of mine and YC's favourite roads. If you catch it when the sun is setting the light thrown on the hills is just beautiful.

Here's a few photos from a ride Melody and I went on Good Friday, some on that same Widdop road:
