Fast sweepers or slower tight curves

[smileyman]

Fast in the fast stuff, slow in the slow stuff. I have no preference as each has their challenges but i do like 2 things...
1. I enjoy a clear line of vision and
2. I enjoy alot of character to the corners, i.e. Different banking, weird radius, and close left right combinations. Makes me feel more like a pilot than a rider...

I'm nowhere near the skill level I'd need for Bogie or Mosport. I'm tentatively making plans to hit Calabogie late August next year, but only if I get quite a few days under my belt.

I'm with him... but being from I have no idea what tight technical roads are like if they are not on a track.

Tight and quick, I like the constant movement. Places with wide open sweepers (like the skyway) make me nervous. I have an ingrained fear of guardrails and mountain sides...

I like both, but prefer tight and technical - just more fun to me. I have a favorite pattern I like to ride that starts with mild sweepers, has a ton of tight turns going through the mountains, and then lets me blast down 400/19 from Dahlonega all the way home, with lots of sweepers.

That is because you have no girth.

Then you may like the road up Mount Evans. None of those stinking guardrails. Just don't look down the thousand-foot drop offs like the passenger in this photo is doing. Some of those bare spots in the distance are old gold mines above Idaho Springs.

I was waiting for a smart comment like this.... only took 3 pages or so.

I would have to agree, somewhat.

I hate close left right, right left combinations. I suck at them.

I didn't get to ride Mt Evens when I was out there, i needed one more day!!

That looks a lot like the road over Independence Pass though, and the one in Rocky Mountain National Park. Absolutely the most beautiful roads and scenery I've ever ridden through! I want to go back again, and again, and again

Legal or not I just could not bring myself to ride without a helmet
