Wish I'd been on two wheels - the Leon was a bit of a handful on both.

WOW!!!!

0 mph to dead in about 1 second. I'd only try it on XBOX or if you can fit a Reset button on the SV...

Amended quote from the RAF:

There are OLD riders and BOLD riders but there are no OLD BOLD riders...

You pansy.

I did a bunch of roads like that a couple of years ago on a gixer thou with a bunch of mates. One pass (http://bit.ly/ngs3qo) started out as an enthusiastic ride and ended up as an all-out race from one side to the other. Cliff face to the right, sheer drop to the left, nothing but the occasional wooden post as a reminder the edge was there, cow muck all over the road, tyres going squidgy, brakes starting to fade...

It was one of the best rides of my life (so far). Our guide from the hotel, who we left behind part-way over the pass, said afterwards "that was great fun, but if the police had caught us..." and made handcuff gestures.

Also spent a few days last month riding from Brno to Liechtenstein the wiggly way, all roads like that, every day (once we'd got south of St Polten, anyway).

Thoroughly recommended.

I know plenty of old bold riders. They all think that saying is cobblers too.

Second one looks like something I found on the spanish / Portugese border. That had suicidal cows too. Lots of fun.

Some of them came out quite nicely:
