Gulp! Indeed it must. What an amazing feat of engineering.
I could see myself nursing an old Royal Enfield up this one, just to maximise the sense of achievement.
Any other steed preferences?

You couldn't get a lot of speed up or down, the runs are just too short. That means a light, nimble, overpowered machine with brilliant brakes and a LOUD exhaust to make you feel you are going hell-for-leather.

So, that puts it into the silly two-stroke bracket.

My choice for a few laps up and down would be a Suzuki RG500 or even a Suzuki GT380. And a petrol tanker of fuel

Cheers, SB

Going up would be handled quite nicely on my DRz400. My bike of choice for going down would be my Raleigh M700.

A C90 would be fun (challenging), up and down.

Ok TBT.


You on your Raleigh and me on my Gary Fisher mountain bike.

The challenge?

We meet at the top of the run.

Then we remove the chains.

The one who uses his brakes the least, wins
