I took a slow ride up the A39 over Porlock Hill, through Lynmouth and onto Woolacombe last weekend with my local HOG.

I mounted a cheap digital camera on the bars and took some film. The sound is awful but the roads are good.

Porlock is the steepest class A road in the UK at 1 in 4 (25%). It's a lot steeper than it looks in the film. It's got a couple of nasty bends with negative camber. Good fun on a big Harley.

This is the ride up Porlock:

great vids

 

Good vids,and I see anything wrong with the sound, but my gosh those roads are narrow,and no offense ,but Yall drive on the wrong side of the road(hehe)All kidding aside I really enjoyed them.good job

 

Thanks Danielo.

That's an 'A class' road. If you think that's narrow you should see some of our 'B' and 'C class' roads. Driving on the left goes back to the time when we rode horses. Right handed people could draw a sword and defend themselves against a bloke riding towards them. Sometimes I wish we could still do that now.

 

cool vid
