Yeah it was a bit slippery in places. Before today, the last time i had been up there ( in a car ) was 4 months ago, and all i remembered was that it was a windy road. lol. Oh well, it was a good ride anyway.

Yeah roads a bit narrow and covered in ice grit

the bike slipped a couple of times too

though did look like an ok fishing spot.
The rest was a good ride, cheers.

I actually didnt really mind the narrow road. Yeah it was a bit slippery in places but i just dodged them. On the way outta there i had a good time on those corners, i certainly wasnt going slow ( for those corners anyway ) on the way out lol. My bike didnt slip around at all.

Anyone been into Honda GP lately? They have three old World War 2 looking German sidecar bikes in there. The lady in there told me Ural ( russian company ) was making them after the war and now the Chinese have got the plans off them. So they are brand new German / Russian / Chinese bikes which look 60 years old but have just left the factory in China. God damn they look cool, but errr, Chinese motors... not my favourate.
