 |
|
Guys,
Does anyone know of any nice bends such as this one?
51.295055,0.145698 (Copy and paste into Google maps)
The problem with this one is once you have done it you have to travel 10 mins to get back for another go.
Does anyone know of any similar type bends good for a bit of lean angle practice ? (apart from a track). It will probably be joining a motorway/dual carriage way which is fine if there is an exit straight away but also has the added bonus of being one way.
Cheers
Neil

Nearer to you, the roundabouts at Ebbsfleet are popular with people who like to go round in circles lots... videos aplenty of both Shoreham & Ebbsfleet on Youtube

No, that one's tiny... it's the ones further south.... HOWEVER... I do recall hearing that "drifters" were putting sand / detergent down to help their interest in a lack of grip. Add to that the proximity of the A2 & diesel I would treat Ebbsfleet carefully. There was talk of CCTV there (no point really, seeing as it was all available on Youtube  ). Take care out there

the junctions on the a3 @ Petersfield, Liss, Liss Forest R/B, Bordon and Liphook provide umpteen oppurtunities for cornering left and right - turn around and try the other way.

Just be careful for the reasons mentioned below...
1/ CCTV.
2/ Chavs lubricating the road so they can "drift" their wanky little cars
3/ Locals fed up with the hooligan element regularly splatting themselves.
4/ diesel and rutts from trucks
Although Wivvy's suggestion & mine are further away, they will attract far less attention than Ebbsfleet.
