Thanks! Yes the road is really amazing - and so is the weather: biking heaven. The other bike is a 929cc Fireblade.

May I suggest: keep in a lower gear longer; don't be in a rush to change up so much on winding roads; get your braking done before your gear change; try to avoid changing gear in a bend; and drive through every bend with moderate acceleration. Leave the higher gears for the motorway stuff. The riding lines looked ok. Great road. Great vid. I watched it all - jealous as hell.

hi i'v done the Picos de Europa four times its a fantastic place for bikes, infact most of spain is, the roads, the people, and food and beer, and cheep when your out of the tourist traps, i have rode in quite a few countrys and spain does it for me, theres a road called the cm412 near hellin south of albacete really good mountain roads well worth a try, happy biking bob.

@X32TOH Hi, I see that you know about motorcycles, I would ask what you think a VFR800 as a first bike? Greetings and thanks for your reply.

what a fantastic road - enough corners to make you dizzy! And plenty of decreasing radius to keep you on your toes.. great.

Thanks for awakening wonderful memories of a beautiful journey I made on the same road many years ago.
