Where is Biker Heaven?

Biking heaven to me can be a new and undiscovered but very technical road.

For me its right from when I take the bike out of the driveway.
















Al that in one afternoon

+1 for Mark's POV. My best times on a bike are too disparate (both geographically and in terms of time/type of riding) to all occur in any one place. The other thing is you tend to take stuff on your doorstep for granted, it's when you see it as a tourist it blows you away. I know someone who lives on a hill with the 2nd best view I've ever seen, but she doesn't think it's anything special because she grew up there. Same with riding; I know a couple of lads who live near tail of the dragon, to them it's just irritating that their local road is full of k****ers crashing their fast cars and bikes and hence drawing heavy police presence. Many outsiders however, would describe it as biking heaven.

Bike Heaven? My house, end of discussion.

(those that visit will agree)

Ace roads on the doorstep (in fact the lane comes out B5105 - N. Wales TT)
Oulton Park 45 mins and new Anglesey track an hour or so(?) Donnington Park an hour and a half.
NOT near any big towns
BEST OF ALL - miles from London!!!

Who cares, im going to hell...thats where my mates will be

Biker heaven?

Its the other way.

The Road To Hell is the best road out there. It covered with shellgrip, is twisty, enternally long and has lots of run off areas!!

I like to think it's somewhere around Mongolia/Siberia.

I'll let you know when I've found it!

;o)

To be honest, I havefound my biker heaven right here on this Island. ( apart from getting spares ) There are loads of twisties and the vew from some places is just breath taking and in the years that I have been here, I still find places where I have not been. Over the winter month a mate of mine comes out from Germany and brings some dirt bikes with him in his van and in those 4 month we go off the beaten track and explore more places. Have not sat in my car for weeks......... wonder if it wil start hmmm. Ok there are no tracks here but i don?t care much about that in any event. I used to go to Assen when I still lived in Germany to watch the TT races but after going there for 12 years in a row I now watch it on TV. An average of 6 days of rain per year ad snow if I want it over the winter to play about in, when one gets cold all one has to do is drive down the mountain back to the beach for a warm up and a beer. I for my part love it

Downside is, after all that time here I am probably useless in the rain even though i make a point of riding when it does rain...... never know if the itch gets to me to take a trip up north and then it will come in handy.
