:cry: sad news indeed

Good advice Pete

I was the same as you as a teenager. Got ribbed for not pushing the envelope enough. One of my mates who did the ribbing ended up wrapped around a lamp post and was DOA at the hospital. Now I am a forty-something with 3 kids, including a son who has an SV and an 8 year old daughter who's the apple of my eye, so I have many reasons to take extra care.

This is sad indeed.

Having ridden that road with Peter I can say that it is damn difficult and not for the faint-hearted (ie me). The road surface is excellent but there are unfenced drops over the edge - scary - and car drivers tend to go too fast.

The thought of that sent shivers down my legs... scary stuff...

...and in places the drop is several hundred metres :shock:

Hell all the armco sections do is catapult you up in the air even higher on your way to the bottom of a ravine! :? :shock:

sorry to read about these tragic deaths peter :cry:

spring is fast approaching guys, the temptation to wind the throttle open a bit more after months of tiptoeing around will be there, so just take care and think twice before you do so.

Sorry to hear about your friends Peter.
