Urban corners

[FreshAL]

Yeah, we all know the countryside twisties are great, but are there any superb corners in the town/city near you?

There's a series of bends in town near me which are usually chock full of traffic, but late at night (if you catch the lights right, or just ignore them) it becomes a sharpish left up and over a bridge then a wonderful right hander, nearly a full 180°.

I hadn't realised how good this corner could be till I saw a post-haste courier fly round it scraping his panniers. I'm not mad enough to try it in traffic, so I came back later on one evening, and it's very fun.

Any good urban corners where you are?

I always find those curved motorway sliproads designed to slow cagers down bloody enticing.

This is a relatively popular little "track" as it were with a few of the faster boys

I'm in Milton keynes. It's all pretty straight roads and roundabouts. Fun for some, not so for others. Hard acelleration, hard braking, quick flicks through the roundabouts.

Mind you, Bradford city centre was "fun" to weave the bike through what with it's big sweeping multi lane roads and lots of ups and downs...

The yellow bit (sundown drive) used to be an ace run after dark, but they have filled it with traffic calming obsticals now, so the lines from corner to corner are screwed up

All chavs in this part of Essex will know about Festiva Leisure Park. Its on a two laned carriageway thats a couple of miles long and has 5 or 6 large roundabouts on it. Traffic lights are at either end (start or finish) and no speed cameras except the odd mobile.

The A666 in Bolton through to Darwen and Blackburn is a bit urban in places

Other than that Moss Bank Way in Bolton can be a lot of fun even with the traffic there as there is ample room either side of the traffic to nip round at speed

[tokarev]

Just as you leave the big roundabout at Battersea Park heading south there is a really smooth s bend which you can take at a decent pace and it feels good when you do!

Totally offtopic but that was surreal. I looked at the map in Als post and thought "that looks familiar". Then I realised, I used to live on Fatherson road (just off that map). Used to be a cracking little Thai restaurant on the tow path along the Kennet.

You can tell drivers from swindon, they're pros on roundabouts.
Anybody from here ain't really bothered by it bar being on test, but everyone else goes WTF!!!!!

Potterow corner in Edinburgh is (in)famous. Especially hitting it uphill. A sharp, two lane left hander with DEEP ruts in it from all the buses going round. You have to hit it on the outside of the burm and it is like going round a wall of death. Come over the top of the burm and you are straight into an armco barrier, sideways.

Used to stand and watch the pizza delivery mopeds flying round in a shower of sparks off the centre stand.

Road from Mablethorpe -> Louth (think it's the B1200) is basically a farm track and that's got some awesome bends.

Ditches either side if you run off.
