i used to do that road when i left hunters lodge and went to work in blagdon, some very tight corners that jump out on you.

If you ride like an idiot, you'll get hurt, the near misses I have seen in my short time on a bike, has 8/10 been the biker going too fast( as in seriously quick) in the conditions, weather, weight of traffic, type etc......

observation and riding to the conditions

[badgerKDD]

You could argue that every road is dangerous for motorcycles, due to the inability of so many drivers to observe the traffic around them, use indicators, mirrors etc.

I just treat every driver as a total idiot, which I hope gives me the edge, but that doesn't excuse me when I forget to plug my brain in, so we can all be idiots behind the wheel or on the bike. ;)

Roads aren't dangerous.....its the folk that use em....

Never a truer word spoken Smiler , I have driven thousands fo miles in trucks , cars , bikes , and the best times are the quiet ones with like minded people on the road , add traffic Jeremy Clarkson wannabe boy racers in high powered cars/ knightbridge tractors , andy 30 something slappers/yummy mummys putting on lipstick and answering the phone doing 120 mph in the suicide lane of a motorway that think the driving licence and Vehicle tax is a god given right to own the road and everyone else must bow down to them then it becomes dangerous ,

Breathe Merv, breathe!!!!

I'm sure I read somewhere that the M48 (takes you over to the Severn Crossing) is the safest road in the UK...its all down to the stats I'm sure, and any road that suffers higher volumes of traffic is sure to have more incidents purely because there are more users.

Mind, the M48? Not the most exciting of rides I can think of!

The A30 from Carland Cross to Exeter, now that's BORING !


Also the most 'Plod' populated part of Cornwall and Devon's road network .........unless anyone knows better ;) .............

Someone I knew from my TVR days use to speed test their Cerbera along the M48. Use to go along to the junction just before the bridge to make sure there was no cops about then floor it on the way back towards Bristol. Reckon he saw an indicated 180mph plus a few times

[Smiler]

Hooligan! I couldn't possibly condone such behaviour!

You know what, I travel that road sooooo much, and in honesty rarely see a Police car nowadays ..... (thats probably the kiss of death for me ... )

And to be honest, I quite enjoy that road ....... now the M5 between taunton & Bristol - that is a Boring road ......

I ride the A371 wincanton /s.mallet to and from hunters lodge instead of the dreaded 303 cracking road when you get to know it problem is there is some real tight bends to catch you out
