Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Stumbled on this clip that highlights the mountains road I live on. I’m at Kurrajong Heights so about 20km up the 75km road just after the sharpest climb the road has, roughly 1300 ft over 6 km. Nothing compared to some of the European roads but still a bit of fun to play on each day.

Some of you guys must have some nice runs in your local area, so post them up

And this is the local a km away from home. Weekends see this place with the carpark full of bikes.

Except it’s all 60/80 km zone to my house so I some times have to be a little naughty

I need to get my cameras back from Cav. There's some really nice back lanes near me I keep meaning to video.

Yes

I'm working on dates for a BBQ and thinking of inviting you lot along with the guys I do trackdays with. Going to try for middle of August

That looks stunning mate. Thought I'd check it out on google maps and look what I found

The closest and the most famous road to me is the Cat & Fiddle, I'm about a mile away from the bottom of it.

Sadly it's got 50mph average speed cameras and lots of dickheads on it! It also goes past the highest village in the UK, so frequently fog bound and closes a lot in the winter.

Snake Pass is another famous one and a lot better than the Cat, but really bad for traffic at the weekends

If you look closely you might spot Blade's layby.

Not mega close to me but it used to be my staple.

From 5:20 it's the nice part of the Kington-Crossgates road

I think the Longhill A5004 layby is on Montys way home and I've heard of a notorious Black Golf GTI with a Hulk Hogan look alike, being a regular visitor

Silver/white/grey GTI. I do hope you’ve not been flashing the wrong car!
