...I hate you
Down in Essex we're stuck with pretty boring shite roads, you however are blessed with some of the best riding roads I've ever seen!!
Of special mention is the A5 running right into Snowdonia (where we camped this weekend at Lynn Gwynant) and it was amazing! Wide roads, long sweeping bends, tight apexes, surrounding mountains and beautiful scenery and running through mountain passes. It was a pretty decent riding high. Not to mention the abundance of other bikers that seemed to be enjoying the good weather.
So envious rant and coolstorybro.jpeg over, where else does BCF get envious of around the UK/World?

The A5? Seriously, the A5 is one of the best roads you've ridden?
The A5?
*shakes head*
Sucks to be you!
There are far better roads in North Wales, some of them are actually off the A5. Boy do you have a lot to learn.......... ____________________ Sod falling in love, I wanna fall in chocolate.  |

I thought that too.
Just got back from a week in wales, a week in which I didn't have my bike. Was taunting seeing nice roads whilst being stuck in the passenger seat of a cage!
Can also +1 to North Yorkshire, the dales are great to ride in... whilst it's not raining! Except then you can just pull in to a pub and everyone's really talkative and friendly... unlike the Midlands where sitting and having a conversation with somebody that you don't know is practically unheard of. Me and my ex did that after a long and rainy trip through the dales, we were freezing. Sitting by the wood fire drying our gear with a cup of tea and talking with the locals was brilliant.  ____________________ 2004 R1 & 2018 XSR900 |

I moved to central Manchester from the middle of Snowdonia 2 years ago. The roads in and around Manchester almost make me cry at their blandness compared to some of the stuff in North Wales. The A5 is also a bit rubbish for actually riding but does have some excellent scenery so if going a zillion mph all the time isn't your thing then it'd be a good road to ride (but not on a bank holiday weekend). ____________________ Now: '00 Kawasaki ZRX1100R - Past: '84 Yamaha DT125, '89 Kawasaki KLR600, '97 Yamaha XJ600N

We just had friends visit us and they were describing the lovely scenery they saw on their drive down to see us. Though I suppose if you live in Cannock, a trench full of burning cattle would also be 'lovely scenery'. ____________________ Previous: 2002 Honda CB500 (sold), 2007 Suzuki SV650SK6 (crashed), 2005 Yamaha FZ6 Fazer (sold).

This is true, drives me absolutely bonkers, its my pet hate. Didn't realise it was only Wales though!

It'll suffice, but you really want Finest. |
Having tried both, this is also true, the Highlands are utterly fantastic, and mostly deserted. But i'll take 15 mins travel over 8 hours any day
