And neither do those Irish roads yall been posting lately
Some of you may have seen vids of Boldo Pass in the Italian Alps. If not, here it is



And some crazy tri-cycle guys on the same road



Imagine throwing a 900lb Goldwing around those hairpins

OMG, that's a 2 way road??????? i wouldn't mind taking a shot at that road .

stuart.

[ram11397]

would love to try that one!!!!

[ankgrays]

I think I want to sell my 1100 for one of those!!!

[Solina Dave]

Sorry!! Too dangerous for me. Especially the one with the oncoming traffic, and the bicycles. I'll take the Blue Ridge any day.

[spiralout]

At first I was thinking that this isn't a very wide road for my 1500 then I realized it was 2 way When I saw that first car coming at them I was like "wth, wth, this isn't cool!!!" Then passing bicycles while dealing with oncoming traffic??!
Those last two bicyclists they passed were hauling ass, though

[roadwanderer2]

well, there's one countries road system id never try, and that's India's roads. going thru the mountains with no guard rails and sheer drop offs, no thanks.

Although wider, the road to Silverton, Colorado, going east from Durango gave my wife the scaries. Big drops, and no guard rails with a white line about 250mm (about 10 inches or a tyre's width) from the edge. She did not like the idea of meeting a tractor-trailer coming the other way, and swinging wide on a corner with us going the other way .

But that Italian road is very impressive. I might have to add this to a bucket list.

I have done the "deals gap" a couple of times on my 1500 and was tuckered out at the end both times. This looks like I would have no foot pegs left after making all of those switchback turns, not to mention I would need oxygen at the end of the road. What a ride. At least they have guard rails to keep you in the roadway. No such thing on the tail of the dragon.

[roadwanderer2]

yeah, the dragon can be scary at certain parts. you need to keep your concentration and wits about you at all times on that road. I've ridden that road at least a dozen times now and it still scares me. you have to treat it with respect or it will bite ya.

Santa Maria... Badass man....

[roadwanderer2]

just being honest.

[littlebeaver]

San Boldo Pass looks amazing to ride...I'd love to ride it at normal speed...

[redial]

I wonder if they let you go on it at walking speed?

[roadwanderer2]

LOL, you couldn't pay me enough to walk that road.
