Alrite guys, recently passed my test and got a gixxer 6. was wondering if any of you knew of any good ride routes? i live in Burnham-on-Sea. Near to weston super mare...if anyone knows where im talkin about and has any suggestions that'd be great

Thanks

Yeh, the Chedder Gorge run, awwwwsome

I'd second that, only been through once and it is awesome, a little daunting but very good. and the seven bends around glastonbury some good roads around there

How about the road from Taunton to Minehead over the hills through Dunster? Not sure about doing it sat on a GSX-R but on my 400 its ace! Reminds me of Isle of Man mountain section! Fast bends over Wheddon Cross and slow ones around Dunster. Great fun!

brilliant, thanks for the suggestions guys, gunna get my maps out and get it sorted in my head before my first trip out (no bike gps lol)

Take bridgewater to minehead onto porlock, up the scary hill to lynmouth, have a breather, then upto watersmeet, turn off left at top to simonsbath and exford, turn left at wheddon cross down through dunster, back onto A39 and away home. luvvly jubbly. have fun.

I've done this route on my way beack from glastonbury, gone through weddon cross then down to exeter through tiverton. awesome.

burnham to minehead,stop 4 fish and chips back to exeter 2 have a look around the dealers and back up the old a30 and homeward bound

I went up the A37 from the A303 to Shepton Mallet, across on the A361 to Trowbridge, then across to Devizes - pub stop at the Red Lion @ Avebury (regular biker meet place), then back on the A4, A350 and then back down the A361 to Glastonbury and across to Taunton on whatever that road is. Nothing spectacular, but pretty good roads.

Worst part of the day was Honiton to Martock on the A303 - solid traffic - so glad I wasn't stuck in the car!!!
