    Found a great road by accident lastnight, coming back from the ferry I ended up in Petersfield (don't ask), the A272 from there to Winchester is as twisty as a twisty thing 8-)
    It's proper lush!!!! Bit of a ride but there are lots of pubs at the other end, possible destination for a ride??

    Anyone fancy a pint?

    The A272 used to be an immense road.

    Been along there a few times to Loomies and scenic routes to Boxhill.

    A bit over policed and speed restricted these days though
    Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

    yeh Loomies cafe is down that road so would be a good rideout destination.

    Edit: Richie just got there before me. ;D

    Is a regular haunt for alot of bikes, so yes is heavily policed at times.
    Pop down there for coffee and a spin out now and again, is a lovely ride and nowt wrong with taking in the scenery for a change

    The A272 is a legend!! and the police know it!! Keep you speed down, enjoy th tunnel, and wonder at the corners.
