Ride thread idea?
Hi all,
what does everybody think about a thread with ride routes for their local area or just rides thay know are great twistie or very scenic bike roads?
Just an idea we don't need to start it here, I was just wondering what you all thought of that? 
Thoughts please.

Don't torture me.
Here in South Florida we have 3 roads: Flat, Straight, and Hot.
You always hit all three on every ride.
Great idea. Wish I could contribute something  .

Great Idea Dave.
I have just been up to Melany through Mt Glorious and Mt Mee with welshrob, Richard /1050POME (both on those hooligan S3's) and a T.rat lurker called Merrick (07 Tiger).
Great "spirited" ride through some of our best SE Qld twisties. IMO.
This is our patch of heaven. A fantastic ride to blow the cobwbs out. The hooligans were trying to minimise wear on their front tyres by studiously keeping them off the ashphalt.. The weather was our "typical" winter weather - 20 degrees and dry again!!

Our corporate HQ has moved to Orlando and I get the feeling they want me to relocate, by the sound of things it's a bummer! Might take the redundancy option instead!

Great idea Dave and with Google maps and similar you really only need to post the link and the route map will redraw and not put a big overhead on the site.
Go for it - give away the route to those tyre shredding rides

Great idea Dave, I would definitely contribute.
I can see your post now "follow the black rubber lines until you come across a Capsicum Blue Sprint ST"

Yes Great fun was had today. Steventhechef is looking to become a hooligan and buy a Speed Triple. Alternatively, he`s also looking at doing some more off-roading, a Tiger, would be very handy when you overcook a bend and do some impromptu off road riding!

I suppose I could contribute a lot, but I don't think anybody would be interested...

Moving to Florida makes anyone redundant.
