In a perfect world.
 

My daily commute to work would be on this road:

with nothing to worry about except a few sheep.
On a side note, this entire stretch of road appears to be one way? and my god is it gorgeous.

Incredible road, notice all the tire marks. Awesome

Damn that was pretty awesome, but wasnt that red car going the opposite way? If that guy hit someone it would have been oveR for everyone.

nope the road is two way drive (driven)
fun roads, but i think cutting corners like that is scary

btw the video is from norway, a perfect country https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif

every time I see that road, I think of how much trouble it would get me into.

This was my first time on that road back in 2003, thats why i'm hesitating in some of the turns and the fact that this is a public road!

The movie lies a little bit because the camera is mounted 20cm(7,8inch?) above the road (looks like its going fast and irresponsible)

There were no cutting of turns, or going to fast when i couldnt see at least as far as i could stop the car, really!!
The speedlimit on this road is 80km/h.

Once again, it really looks like its going faster than it actuially is! :-)

OT: Is it possible for any moderator to give me back my original account/name in this forum????
I forgot my password, and some guy in Spain stole my hotmail-account when i wasnt using it for some time...
So when i answer the secret question, the new password goes to some dude in Spain....aaarrrgghhh....

Please mods???

If you have not run this strip of road..........I would do this ASAP. Words can't even ............

Re: (Hooch'n)
 

I would think that road "tails of the dragon" would be very dangerous, isn't it extremely over crowded w/ people going way past the speed limits? I'd much prefer a wide open road with no one else on it like hondakar2's road.

PS. nice video d00d https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Sweet video! There's a 5 mile stretch of road just like that in PA on my route from Buffalo to Baltimore, God it's so much fun https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif

Ah, Europe.

I've got a friend in Norway, actually. Unfortunately for him, he's in Svaalbard, where polar bears outnumber people and there are no roads like that.

what year is your ITR?

Jack and Willard used to set up a semi-annual trek and run of this road back in the day... good times!

I've never gone without hearing about a motorcyclist dying that day on that very road... https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emsad.gif
