What would be your "ultimate" bike ride?

Question

Mine -full chat round the Island on a "Manky Norton".there is one to be viewed at Bakewell at week-ends at the m/c exhibition.C,mon wiggy!

Answer 1

I have to admit passing my test on my DT50M back in 1981 was pretty d**n cool, moving up to a DT125LC at age 17 was a dream come true also. Almost 30 years on I would have to go with the Manx or maybe one of the last 500GP bikes. I raced a TZ250 a few years ago, that was pretty cool. I now race CB350 K4s here in the US, not so cool but cheap and great friends have been made.

Answer 2

Well you got me going on this one !!

My ultimate bike ride : - 1) Honda RS 250 on the

A488 & A489 Shrewsbury to Craven Arms -

Challenging but rewarding, nice and bendy through

Hope Valley - An excellent Cafe usally encrouched

with all Biker persona's to finish off - HEAVEN

My other ultimate bike ride is not to ride at all -

but to be on the BACK of my chopper, riding into

the warm sunset - my thighs tightly gripped on to

the back of my main man (no not 'im in-doors) -

1st choice Vale of course and 2nd (just as unlikely)

Sam Elliott - x*x -

(lol) Cheers for that - It's been a while since

the old heart pumped that fast !! Phew - x*x -

Answer 3

Ultimate ride? Good question!

For the road, the A170 from Helmsley to Stokley. More popularly known as the North Yorks TT.

For the track, I would have to say its a toss up between an RVF 400 at Cadwell Park full circuit, or a day out at Spa.

Spa is one of the greatest circuits in the world, and chasing after the 500cc lap record ( still held by Barry Sheene MBE ) would just be a fantastic ride out.

In close second I guess a track I have never ridden. The Nurburgring.

Answer 4

I would like a go around the Island on a good old fashioned V4 500 Yam. just to mix the mountain air and 2 stroke oil.

Or just a blast around Donny on Casey's monster just to see how scary it is. or how far around I can get before binning it.

Answer 5

to just grab a credit card with no limit, get on my bike and take off for a few months, no destination , no time frame, just ride wherever the whim of the moment takes me. That would be the best ride ever.  

Answer 6

im not really into the dakar rally of trips like that i ride atvs, my best day in riding would be at glamis (a very popular 83 square mile sand pit) on my race ready 08 honda 450r with a sunny day of course

Answer 7

To be in the first South American "Dakar" rally in a few months time.

The Isle Of Man on a Manx Norton would be brilliant as well, so I would happily join you in that. The other dream bike for me on the Island would on the Britten - just fantastic, or a genuine Mike Hailwood Ducati.

Philip Island on just about anything would be a dream.

Answer 8

I would go for the island and give it the wrath of thou on me gsxr
