    The best kneedragging road in the world

    Forget travelling across Europe in Lamborghini's, Porsches, and a DB7 - just give me my scoot, new kneesliders and a tank of gas....

    Imagine this scene nor even an hour ago:
    30kph hour corners. Hot, sticky tarmac. For almost 20 kilometers. The road is about 4k's out of a town called Mossman, (near Port Douglas in Northern Queensland), and it goes to some lookout or another. Seriously, the road winds uphill, with no more than 50 meters between corners. The road is smooth, the traffic light... The local council here must all be bikers to make a road like this.

    Downside is that I rode it in a rental 4x4, with MadBikeBabe riding shotgun. And she gets carsick...
    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

    The Stelvio Pass is not bad (the road in my avatar) but one of the best is a 60k loop out of Lamastre to a lookout and back to town, fooking amazing.....and FAST

    Latigo Canyon, off PCH going up into the Santa Monica Mountains in California. 118 corners in about 9 miles (15k's). Think of the northbound climb out of Tairua and multiply by around 5; but with no camper vans or milk tankers coming the other way.

    Many of the local bikers choose not to ride it- too scary.
