BOOM! 2.45 is where I had my first ever crash, hot into the corner knew I could make it tipped in & found aload of loose gravel. lost the front end stright into a 2ft ditch. The sign for the right hand isn't there anymore though.
I won't be doing this road again, my favourit is Jodrell Bank or Snakes Pass.
Nice video, good quality considering it was 4.5years ago.
@makyme i do pay to use track, but its alot of money, and there is thsands of miles of unchartered tarmac im entitled to for my £50 tax on my doorstep
@makyme i live about 10 miles from this. before i even get to this i can scrape my knees on a YZF 125 on thed a6. It's almost boring before i get to New Mills!. exept, the road takes me to Glossop and turn right , pass the golf course and lets all have a pint in the Sanake !. BTW, i averaged about 40 on the cat.
Prolly had a bigger smile on my face than most of the 'Big boys'
@makyme the point is.. this isnt a track, it's a public road and on a track you can only show yer riding skills .not your capabilty of riding a bike when the chance of geting hurt is multiplied by everything that comes into your vision,. Ifv you're that good a rider prove it and dont do it with the safety of a gravel slide off.
omg i f***ing hate that corner at 1:38 you cant see on the vid but a double drop into a left that i lent into too early and had the back out not nice only corner that needs changing though
Honestly think as soon as the emergency services get the call saying someone has come off his/her bike... they should automatically be moved to bottom of the triage list.
13 million smokers pay £2 a day in tax..how much per year ???
I have nothing against bikers, i do however have something against the arse holes that force me to swerve towards a verge etc just so i dont end up making their familys have one less present to buy for xmas
very nice riding mate...i cant wait to do it when i get my new bike this summer. But they've now changed the speed limit to 50 and they're putting average speed cameras in, but it will still be nice to ride :D
Nice video. Is that an SRAD model. Sold my mille a year ago for a house, thinking of buying an SRAD 600. They say that SRAD power is all up top but you seem to be moving very swiftly and the needle isnt that high on the rev counter. Enjoy those roads.

Makyme, what exactly IS your problem with motorbikes? And your comment about the dead man is just beyond contempt. Justify yourself.

Great idea, lets use the same logic and do the same for smokers with lung cancer and Drinkers with liver disease eh?

Take care guys!
My uncle died on this road yesterday :-(
He was a very experienced rider and I'm gutted.
It's the one's you leave who suffer!

So sorry to hear that matey. Thoughts are with you. Only comfort that we can take is that he was having fun doing was he obviously loved.
yachtymadness 2 years ago
Thank you, trues, he was enjoying what he loved the best, even at 60 he had 2 1000GSXR's and an R1 track bike.
It looks that the idiot that hit him (an inexperienced rider) was on the wrong side of the road, not that any of that matters now.
Just all take care!

ermm??.. obviously loved using his head to scrape the floor with ??. or knowing that his "love" was about to destroy his family forever ???...

Ferlin Husky's "Slow Down Brother" would be a far better song for this video, especially the last verse;
If you're hittin 90 and tempting fate,
You will soon be knocking on them Golden Gates,
Cos' them hills and curves are graveyard bait,
Brother, you'd better slow down.

My advice would be to spend a bit more and get a K1.
Power is much more useable..
