Got the camera out again at the weekend, nice empty roads in the New Forest again!! Unfortunately they're all 40mph limits.

Nice ride. From as U.S. perspective it is a little unsettling to see oncoming traffic pass by on the right.
40mph? Not kph?
The New Forest is historic. I would like to visit. But, I was surprised to see the New Forest heavily populated. Looking at a map was that Burley Road and Station Road?
Cool sound track from Limp Bizkit - Take A Look Around - a sad but true comment on our world. I'd say you escaped it for a few minutes.

Yeah, you get used to it ...

Nope, 40mph in New Forest.

The New Forest is now a National park so it's going to be very difficult to build inside the boundary's now. There's not that many people there, the start of part 2 is really going around the outside of Brockenhurst.

See the images for the route (as you can see, I only skirt around Brockenhurst - the nice bits that have the Forest right outside the front door, nice!)

Nice video. What arethe names of the band and the misson impossible theme tune?

part 2 - Propellorheads: On Her Majesty's Secret Service (James Bond theme from film of same name)

Question

While watching the first video I noticed an oncoming bike. It occured to me that waving to approaching bikes when you drive on the left would be a bit difficult.

What do you do? Or have you given-up waving? :dunno

 

[DavidHopkins]

nah, we nod or tilt our heads/helmets. Cant wave as that's our throttle hand.

 

[vaanen]

Im just wondering, as i cant get my head round it! have you slowed the video down or are you actually sticking to the speed limit? Remind me not to go out riding with you as i may fall asleep!

 

[DavidHopkins]

nope, sticking (almost) to the speed limit of 40mph
