I went for a blat on B3051, and the blat was gooooooooood
Discussion
From Tadley down to Overton on B3051. Top road with some decent straights, if a bit bumpy: which is not bad thing as it does remind you to keep the speed sensible.
Some wicked little twisties to exercise the suspension. Only thing is, the front suspension was bad, and has now been sorted and hence is very tight, but the back end is now feeling rather crap. Very floaty, dampers faaaaaaarrrrr too soft. Turn in is top notch, perhaps even slightly oversteery, but that fine by me as it suits the slow-in-fast-out style...
It does take the right road to highlight it...
So, rear Konis off to be refurbed, maybe some fresh springs and check all the bushes.
B3051 is defo recommended for those living in Basingstoke/Andover/Newbury area. Maybe even worth it from Reading.
Word of warning tho: go easy on the first run: the corners are close enough together so that if you get out of shape exiting one, you probably wont have time or space to sort it before the next. Keep it tidy!!
