Did anyone see the show on Wednesday , there was a bit when she meet her friend who had travelled all over India on his beloved enfield , some amazing hairpin roads.

Yes I saw it. The motorcycle bit wasn't very long but the whole program is worth watching on catch up if you missed it.

Hairpin bends lots of them:-

Ten minutes of dangerous drivers and close shaves. What is the life expectancy on a bike there?.

It does look somewhat "character building. The Lizard to Helston road in the tourist season is very close to it.

Just trust in karma and you'll be fine. There is a very fatalistic approach to life: traffic on all sides of the road, u-turns without indicating, pedestrians crossing the road without looking etc, but it's an amazing experience. Oh, and if someone indicates right (they drive on the left) it means that you're OK to overtake. Or it might mean that they're turning right. The elephants don't indicate of course. And you blow your horn ALL the time to let everyone know you're there. But flashing your headlights is the most aggressive thing you can do.

"Tail end of the Que ?" ;0) or that car has a big trunk... ok nite nite,,,

If you like twisty bits there's always the A483 south of Newtown...
