Southern riders are the best....

Southern USA!!!
Just look at the roads we have to endure...
(BTW...No one can deny we ride on the RIGHT side of the road)

So the further south you get the better rider you are,
lukemillar must be in the Casey Stoner league then

Maaaaaan, your line is all wrong in that photo (if that is indeed you?)
Proof indeed that southern (USA) riders are NOT the best
And I bet that photo doesn't show the road either side of that bend (probably goes straight on for hundreds of miles in either direction )

Mind you, you DO have some decent traffic laws over there

lovely bends, you even get them cambered for you!

That's not me ...I took the photo.
Must have been some chap from the north!

That's a picture from The Dragon (aka: tail of the dragon,the Gap, Deals Gap) in North Carolina.
318 turns in 11 miles!!!
Some lovely off camber turns as well.

I guess the construction crew who built that road were drunk ... or bikers

I've ridden The Dragon (and Cherohala), lovely road (the whole of the surrounding area is great too). Fewer knobbers pushing their luck than you'd get in the UK (still saw some cabbage on Ninja chuck his bike down the bank), but generally the pace was much slower and riding much more conservative than you'd get over in Blighty.
