First Lot – A great set of photos from FullChatter member Dave Robinson.

They lead to a few questions though ….. 1. For starters what year? 2. Is the Texaco jacket available on Ebay? 3. Is this the TV version of Kickstart? 4. Did he marry her?

Not much we can say of it only that if you are planning to ride in the area then we’ve been told it’s worth slotting into your route.

If you’ve ridden it, perhaps you’ll leave us your comments below.

We’d also like any photos or video of the road/run, if you have any you’re prepared to share. Email them over to us.

When we get a road recommended to us, but have no experience of it ourselves, we like to do a post and hope that any members who have ridden it will leave their comments below.

If you can recommend a Youtube vid for us, to go with this post, we’d appreciate it. Unusual but we couldn’t find one. Something amusing or informative will do until one of the run turns up. Email a link to us now.

Not a road that we’ve ridden but one given to us for our collection.

We are told it’s a good one!

If you’ve ridden it, perhaps you’ll leave us your comments below and/or send us any photos that would go with this post.

Our Youtube selection is by ‘TheUntamedBiker’, a pleasant sunny day on the B660, and we love the running commentary. Clearly TheUntamedBiker loves his bike and biking, and clearly ‘gets’ what biking is to all of us. Oh and he’s not embarrassed to say speed is not his thing. Have a  listen ….. it’s brilliant.

‘Til then we go on what we hear about the place and the A286 between Haslemere and Chichester we understand is a Sunday blast favourite with many from the area, though we couldn’t find a Youtube vid of the exact run.

If you have any snaps that would go with this post and you are willing to share them, email them over to us now and we’ll stick them on.

If you’ve ridden the road, perhaps you’ll leave your comments below.

The Youtube video, embedded below, may not be of this run but, it has some great shots with it’s forward and rear looking cameras, and gives something of a feel for the area, as it ends up at the ReadyToRide day in Haslemere, 2011. Thanks to ReadingHOC .

If it’s part of your regular ride, leave us your comments below.

If anyone has any photos that would go with this post and you are willing to share them, email them over to us for posting.

We could also do with a video for this post, couldn’t find anything spot on, on Youtube ….. most unusual, doesn’t happen to us very often.

We couldn’t find a Youtube video of it though (very rare this happens to us! Ed).

If you’ve ridden it, leave us your comments below, better still if you have a video or photos of the run email them to us.

We haven’t ridden it, but if you have, leave your comments below.

It does look a nice part of the country, Bosham Harbour in particular, which is where King Canute tried to hold back the tide, apparently.
