Your favorite corner? - SV650.org

Just been looking at some ariel photos of some good corners!

This is my favorite at the moment, a sliproad off the A419 in Swindon - called the rat trap.

closely followed by these two on the way to avebury.

No so much a corner but it is a bend, but along the embankment at one point if you are going briskly enough, you can even on the SV get air on the front wheel and i have had both off the air once (i know because the revs shot up).

Are we talking off roading here,as most of your bends seem to be in the middle of fields?

On the A82, between Glencoe and Tyndrum going south, is the Descending Right Hander That Never Ends. Fantastic bend, big descent, perfect visibility, nice surface... Lovely. Either that, or the two right at the end of the A821 before Aberfoyle.

A30/M25 Juntions (favourite on/off ramps)

We did some of mine on AR06. Remember the bends between Churchstoke (where we stopped for a bit) and Craven Arms? The closer you get to Craven Arms, the tighter they get.

Mudford to Marston Magna, a long straight about a 1 mile into a series of 3 bends, a right, a left and then a tight right then the road opens out with a left and then a right and a left again.

Sherborne to Bishops Caundle, pretty much all of it.

On the A30 to Shafestbury, after the Blackmore Vale filling station, a series of left and rights all taken at speed, class.

Zig Zag hill, Voted britains twistest road.

I also really like the Sliproad to get back on the M27 at Cosham, by the Big Tescos, Junction 12 it is I think...

Nice

The Alton Road. Don't know its real name, but that is the nicest road I have ridden on in quite some time.
