.
Mine is this one. - The 'Cat & Fiddle' Very Happy

The section between the pub at the top and Macclesfield in either direction as they are so different to ride either way.

The link posted is NOT me. Laughing It's one searched from Youtube.

The best section of the road is from just after 3 mins into the video until the end.

The Dalwhinie Pass,,, hardly ever police presence and higher speed cruising was always possible ...... Think we averaged 125mph years ago when we used to drive up to Wick overnight

Ignore the dodgy narrative and the fact that half the road is missing... But it's the b1176 from Corby glen to Grantham. Short and sweet

The A483, anywhere between Oswestry and Builth, with the highlight being Newtown to Crossgates!

The A44 Rhyader to Aber is nearly as good but busier.

I reckon you'd struggle to find many BAD 'A' roads in mid Wales to be honest! Quiet, usually reasonably Policed, quick...
I love the area on two wheels - hopefully the weather will allow some travel there this year!

I'm quite familiar with Wales, its a good playground for me only about 40 minutes away. I was seeing a girl who had to work in Brecon for a while, I did a few early morning commutes Brecon -> Worcester in a very silly amount of time.

Beginning roughly at the reservoir (nice view) then onto Bourton-on-the-water. My favourite because i know it so well i guess.

My usual trek is from Devon to Shropshire. The choice between the log slog up the M5 then round Birmingham, and M6/M54 A5 or across the Severn Bridge then Chepstow, Abergavenny, Builth and then north on the A483 is usually easy - although ii find it wise to be a bit careful across the tops. I've got pictures of the ZZR sat by snow when the Brecon road was dry and warm enough for just leathers, no waterproof jackets or undersuits!

After much thought the best road that I have ridden is Le Puy to Mendes to Arles in the Ardeche region of France.Excellent scenery with a stop at the top of the pass for a beer - or two Twisted Evil

A32 in Hampshire, and the roads that surrounds it. Been a long time since I've ridden on it though Sad

Yet to find one to rival it in Essex.

Never ridden or driven it (as a driver at least) but the Snake Pass over the Pennines. Just don't fall off the edge - you won't live to tell the tale!

Country roads in my area are not too bad. They allow you to be as close to the nature as you can get. I would prefer a bit more twisties though...

I ride down there about 10 times a year. Thumbs Up

My favourite road, is actually a byway just off of the B660.

Most of the roads I've been on have been pot hole catastrophes, however the best road I've been on or the most peaceful was the A34 between Stafford and Cannock. The road surface is actually really good and some nice bends.


This one right here https://goo.gl/maps/GN2NM

The old Coventry to Tamworth road has some fun bits, especially going past Daw Mill Collery. The road drops away down the hill a fair bit and the first few times you ride it you think Fuuuuuuccccccckkkkk!!! Very Happy
