40km/h limit at winding

[kawashima]

My favorite winding road near my house is 40km/h limited.
To tell the truth, most of winding road here are 40km/h.
(You can see "40km" paint on "Japanese ghost rider" youtube video too).

How can we enjoy or practice winding riding below 40km/h?
I'm not good at cornering. To practice at winding I need to ride faster than 40km/h at winding but this risks my license
Most of driver and riders drives at 55 or 60 at 40 road. Even police car is driven at such speed(with red light flashing). (They can drive faster with red light). This is apparently speed limit is too low here. I'm envious of NSL road in UK.

Unrelated thread hijack here.

You posted a video ages ago on here. Off youtube, a motorbike going along a road you called a "skyline". I can't find it anywhere. I remember it being a really good video.

To enjoy sub 40km/h is hard. That is tractor speed here

[P.]

40KMH!!!!

Christ, that is so slow I can't see how you have fun at all at that speed

So once pulled over at 70kmh at 40kmh -> licence suspension. Boo.

Never took any notice of the 40 limit (neither do most of the Japanese to be fair) when I lived in Japan unless I was in town or on a national route. Used to head to okutama & Hakone regularly in my RA STi and regularly do triple the limit in the mountains. Was pulled and fined twice in Tokyo, but for really petty things that would only get you a warning here. Had to go to watch a safety video at license renewal and that was it. Wouldn't let me have my gold license either so had to stay on blue for 4 years.

This is a (bad) pic of my favourite road in okutama;

The car

Used to be a toll road I think and hardly any cars on it at any time of year. About 20 km of twisty mountain roads with no junctions or lights. Heaven!

What are these gold and blue licences you speak of? Sounds... shiny...

That does sound harsh. We often forget that while road riding in England's not great for most places, in a lot of places it can be a fair bit worse.

I never switched to a Japanese licence the entire time I was in Japan and they couldn't handle my international one. I basically had a licence to speed. They only 'caught' me twice anyway.

Mt Heisan in Kyoto was similar to the one posted in the OP, though with less long straights. T'was a glorious 10km of madness much loved by all the Kyoto nutters (both cars and bikes).

Have you considered going back to a smaller, slower bike for riding those roads? I can't imagine it's much fun doing that speed on the TDM.

If it's a max speed of 25mph, then even a FS1E is probably going to feel a bit too energetic!

Then how about...
