I Got snapped on the Cat on Saturday...

My favourite bit is the hairpin outside the pub, I watched a mate on his R6 save a lowside with his knee there, the front hit a lump of sheep-**** - the one and only time I've ever seen that done on the road.

[G]

Yeah that part is as bum twitcher if your going down the hill, up hill isnt as bad.

Near the buxton end there is so many dips and bumps that if your going much over the national speed limit you will get air time , only ever happened in my car though, didnt fancy doing that stretch quick on the bike lol

You're kidding, aren't you? Hooning up and down the A54 in the company of well ridden R6 is one of the highlights of my motorcycling career.

The air-time is what makes it fun - front wheel or both wheels airborne over a blind crest knowing there's a 90 deg bend 50 yards over the other side is what makes it exciting.

LMAO at that R6 rider on the wrong side of the road and not leaning!

You did well


i ride my r6 proply!

Too many blind crests and dozy sheep for my liking. Some of it's alright, but the stretch from the hairpin pub up to the junction at the top is a bit deadly.

You mean the guy on the fazer i think it is? I would be a bit like that if a Busa in race colours and aftermarket cans just busa'd under me into a corner lol.

Oooh, the hairpin bit is great, especially coming down to it when you see the road going up the otherside of the valley. Did that bit myself on Saturday afternoon on the way home from the Cat.
