lol iam only playin . big kid with bigger toys . lol .

its not a road . its a single / smaller than a single line road . / pass . put it one way its a first and second gear only road . and on two r three of the corner u need to have full lock one way then reverse op lock . so u would have to get of yr push bike and push it up and down a 20 r 30 degrees hill . coz u will not have a bigger lock than a mini wen only doin 10mph . u will fall over . lol . p.s. there is not one bit of straight road to open yr throtle . so should be fun . wen u do this road in a car u learn how to slide the car around the corner and proper power slide . lol . thats y every one burns ther brakes out . cars and bike . :lol: :lol:

I have been down that road on my cbr, Unbelievable road, some bits are super slow, less than 5mph. but some straights are very fast, about 145mph but it would be interesting to see which was faster overall, would be very close!! :?
