    Video of Cliff-top road above Whitsand Bay.

    Coming back from a bass fishing trip yesterday and flicked on the helmet cam. This road is great to ride but the view is worryingly distracting. Anyone know of a stretch of coast road to rival it?

    That Military Road is a super fast road, but quite lumpy and windy at times. The flowers on the bridge along with a picture of the bike accident victim is a bit offputting too.
    3 Africa Twins/280,000 miles. If it's happened to one of mine, it's gonna happen to one of yours.....eventually.

    1 Varadero/34,000 miles ridden (of 57,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!

    Yeah it can be a bit blowy but isn't that an inherent feature of a coast road?

    A road is only as fast as you want it to be, I've been to the IOW a few times on various bikes and ridden that road, at my pace, which is usually very slow

    I'm usually racing to the off licence in Niton to get my camping supplies for the rally on the cliff edge of Military Road. I loves the IOW! It's a beautiful place.

    Ooooh, it's just like the end of Quadrophenia. Do you wear eye make up when riding that??
