straight on; the hairpin turn
kckershovel:
I still max brake apex and accelerate out hard to just over legal speeds. That's fun to me. Every time I ride or even drive to West Virginia or Virginia I love the tightest most twisty roads I can find. We have nothing but boring straight roads here in Indiana. As far as public roads go Hairpins are as fun as it gets. I'm never worried about getting pulled over going as fast as I can into and out of a hairpin. Now gentle-moderate slightly uphill sweepers on the other hand just beg to be ridden fast and I constantly find myself well over the speed limit or really wanting to ride faster. I guess to each there own but I'll take a pile of hairpins over a road that taunts me to get a ticket. Unless it's a 1/4 mile run I can do without stick straight roads.

Says it all. Curves, yeah. Hairpins, PITA. Couldn't disagree more, but glad you enjoy them.
kckershovel:
My only real concern with hairpins are other drivers drifting out of there lane into mine. I was diving to the inside of the outside lane when a guy in a red ranger pickup trucks tires started screeching as he was pushing in to my lane. We came very close to meeting in the middle and I still almost pushed off the edge of the rode on the exit of my turn as I was not able to dive in as far or as hard because of the truck. That was a scary moment but other than that I really like em. Again I'll take an uphill outside line rather than a down hill inside line.
