So You Think The A272 Is Normally A Great Riding Road??

  1. Well, all those who have ridden it know this is true, but yesterday I drove it in my car in the dark and in the rain, whilst running late. Bloody hell, what a rollercoaster :) :)
     
  2. How far across? Its ok wincester to A 24
     
  3. A31 all the way to the A29. Did it last night in my Type R. God it was fun :) :)

  4. Too many bikes at weekends and consequently too much plod.
     
  5. night time is the answer ;-)

  6. My night vision is poor. I hate driving/riding at night and even more so when its raining. I cant see as far as i would like and I'm often dazzled by oncoming vehicles. So for me it must be daylight.
     
  7. Not in spring and summer when it has a lot of deer on the road, esp the stretch between petersfielf and heywards heath
     
  8. Oh God, i'd never do that on a bike. I'd end up in a bloody hedge :)
     
  9. On the super fast stretch after the polo be ds, you must have had the civic flat out
     
  10. Couldn't possibly comment. Saying that I couldn't keep up with the Q7 in front of me :) :)
     
  11. Even in the winter the deer at night are a problem, good luck with high speed in the dark I know two people who have had collisions one hit two deer on his GSXR600 the other had a young deer roll up the bonnet and smash the front window!


    What's with the adverts under posts on the forum?
     
  12. Oneof the DD giys pickedup his monster frm snells, whipped down the A32, hit deer at 80 and ended up having hip rebuild and traction

    Early morning runs are great. And at least you have a chance of seeing something coming from left or right in a field of hedge
     
  13. The adverts pick up on recent browser history. IF you've paid a sub, those shouldn't appear
     
  14. Paid...haha... no comment. The add's used to be at the top, no prob.. I can handle looking at hot models ;)
     
  15. Well at least youre still red blooded dear boy ;-)

  16. A272 not my first choice by a long way, but if you get it with no traffic than it is good, but so many speed limits, now and double whites, and Mr. P just depends how much you want to abuse them.
     
  17. Bradders, have you tried posting comments in hyrogrifics as I'm sure they'd be easier to interprete than your iPad induced youff text?
    I've just worked out that if I'm in the inter web and I get an email my iPad drops its sign in memory, pain in the bloody Harris.
     
  18. I really don't like it at busy times too many idiots and avoid it now if possible


    Shame as the road itself is ok

    Deer are an issue even in daytime

    Prefer to head west of Salisbury or France ;)
     
  19. It's a good road, for sure. I liked it when I rode it back in September :)
