...turns!

I'll make it simple: where to find some???
Leaving from London, possibly a one day trip.
London -> lots of hairpin turns -> London :augie

Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Your sincerely,

Don't come to Norfolk. :aidan

Most multi-storey car parks with a spiral ramp or a mini-roundabout, will do you.

Or Google 'hairpin roads UK' - look what I found: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/dorset/4683276.stm

Yes, there was a thread on the forum about it a few weeks ago.
Zig zag hill.

I'm planning to go to Lyme Regis probably the next week-end and that road is nearby, so I'll give it a try

I was looking for something more than "a mile" though

Lake district will be in the first weeks of june.

Ok, I'm going back...

The road into Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex. nice cafe there also.

Try Pirbright bends near Camberley, Surrey. Had fun on my GSA with a 1098 a little while back :augie

The vid is from a Lotus Elise but it will give you an idea...

I've got 1 hairpin bend where I live on the road from Banbury to Warwick
Otherwise I suggest Passo del Stelvio

On your way to Lyme Regis can I suggest to try the A339 from Basingstoke to Alton. From Alton take the A32 past Bahnstormers then hang a right at West Meon Hut onto the A272 to Wiinchester. You can carry on cross country to Lyme Regis from there

Quote from the BBC web page:

"The A4074 out of Reading isn't called locally the "Seven Bends of Death" for nothing!
Warren Swaine, Reading, UK"

It used to be called the 'thirteen bends of death' when I lived in them there parts

I suppose that's the reccession for ya :blast

Pirbright bends - this is a better vid

Cheers for the tips guys (I'll be part of the 'Lyme Regis group' tomorrow). The back route to Winchester (from Farnham, where I live) is a staple for us so we'll definitely be doing it and picking up a friend + Fireblade.

I'm quite sure your friend can easily travel as your pillion passenger... but I think it's quite complex to fix (even using the cargo net) a fireblade on the back of my S. :augie

Se you tomorrow.
