Just one corner? Favourite twisties, more like. And that has been done well to death. At least once...

Last corner you do coming from Whitford back up to Howick, a long uphill, cambered right hander. Perfect for getting right down to the pegs.

Rimutakas, uphill, featherston side, tight left, with camber swap on exit, going into 2 lane tightish right hander on smoooooooth tarmac. Great place to nip up the inside of those pesky 600's.

Valentino Rossi is coming to New Zealand to take my favorite corner as fast as he can - will he do the same for your corner?

But he's not going to is he? He's coming over to drive a rally car on my favorite Waikato gravel roads.

At this stage in my newbiedom, any corner I make sucessfully around is my fav! But the one I remember most so far, was on the KB ride down Wellywood, when I was going around a nice corner and my bike then decided it was a good time to conk and sputter! Rode the corner around, fumbled for the reserve switch and watched bikers zip past me! :doh:

A two lane S bend halfway to hamilton from raglan in the valley. recommended speed 35.
I've seen some shocked faces as I've ripped past some cagers.

Years ago I had a favourite corner, a sweeping bend then, (Princess ST/ Bayly Street, Waitara). The corner as it was no longer exists but I used to go through there four times a day at speed. The lunch time trips were performed before an attentive audience of high school kids. I'd like to think they were admiring my style but more likely they were waiting for me to bin it...
Don't currently have a favourite, but there is one near home that I use everyday which bothers me and I'd like to sort that.

Fav corner on race track.
Manfeild- Esses. (splash) Awesome, Can make up soo much time on the other guys into that one. Quite technical to get it just right as well.
On road. - Takas. Hutt side. right hander, passing lane. decreasing radius with a nice camber. Beautiful corner if done right!!
