made a point of takeing the tvr down helmsly road on monday with the waether been soo hot at last. heading to stokesly from hemsly i know the road and its hazards well, from dodgy bends to yumps under cover cops and overtaking point..... in mind that tho the gap looks big the power bike that mite come round the bend mite close the gap VERY FAST.
BUT MONDAY I FOUND A NEW HAZZARD. leaving chop gate making good pace over the strait with the yumps (been more careful than normal, fiberglass is expensive) one last yump and dip before the steep bank foot to the floor as i come over the sumate TO FIND ...... A 1FT DEEP RIVER yikesyikes!!!!! ARGHHHHHyikes. i managed to keep it straite but got soaked and managed a 60mph-10mph without touching the brakes !

Thats what happens when you drive a plastic car, you float!

Enjoy it while you can. It'll have a 50 limit on it before much longer. I think the only reason there are no fixed cameras is that there's no mains electricity supply along the road.
Incidentally I bombed down it earlier in the summer at 5PM; nothing around, I was doing 90... in the van!

Silly though isn't it. Limit is 60mph anyway, so 10mph shaved off won't really make it any less enjoyable as chances are you are already cough, exceeding the posted limit, cough biggrin

bet they could save lives by making it wider(even putting in the concreat gutters like on the guis'bro buypass) and chopping down a headge or to too improve visibility on the road rather than limits and cams
