Between Buxton and Macclesfield in the Peak District. A nice road, but you could say it's spoilt by the 50mph limit and intense police presence whenever the sun's shining. There are better (or at least as good) roads in the area which are more biker friendly.

I really fail to see the point in KD (yes, I know, it's been said a thousand times). Why pay more to replace knee sliders, when you can just tuck your knee's in.

As for that R1 rider, I KNOW I've been cranked over more than that in the past, without my knee touching down, and the more you lean, the faster you can go around the bends (until you reach the point of lowsiding). That being said, the R1, with power output, would kick my whatsit anyhow.

As for Cat & Fiddle / Snake Pass. Must get back out that way at some point, those be nice roads...

Yeh i know, i wud never want to get me knee down on the road really.. not much point, i'll do a track day at some point too test out my skills, see how useless i really am .

It'd be cool to go a 'org meet up at the Cat. I'm only 10 mins away so if anyone is heading up that way just drop me a line!!!

You could say the same about wheelies and stoppies. There's no real point but it's fun to do.

I figure that if I get me knee down, then thats no bad thing, but I'm not activly hunting that elusive moment

But i would love to hear the scruuuuuuuuuuueeeeeeessssssssssssshhhhhh of footpeg and toeslider draggin', which i heard alot of when i was training (my instructor riding round the outside of me in my blindspot to emphasise the importance of shoudler checks...)

Still a way to go!

Maybe if theres enough of us, the police will shut the road off just for .org members
