Roundabouts near basildon?

[philhudson91]

Anyone know any good roundabouts around basildon that are good for knee down?

almost got it down on my cbr 125 at the roundabouts past wickford where the A130 is...but they can be busy sometimes..

Would like a nice quite one, preferably quite wide?

Ah, you are advertising for a tug I see! LOL.

I'm not encouraging the activity, but I would encourage the use of private messages in this instance! :grin2

p.s. cbr 125 KD! Have you got VERY long legs? Good effort!

[philhudson91]

a tug??? lol

i was like an inch or so away! was doing like 40mph round this roundabout! LOL im like 5ft7 lol

[Ride-or-die]

what jetski is saying is the fuzz might not approve, but as long as you dont circle the roundabout more than 3 times theres nothing illegal about getting your knee down. i remember the days when getting my knee down needed a roundabout lol, now just a small bend will do, yourll get there

A PM to Jaygates SP1 would do the trick if anyone knows a good roundabout to put ya knee down on it will be him.:laugh2...yeah not always best to discuss on an open forum as Essex old bill do like to take a read of this site to see what we are all up to.....:laugh1

And obviously knee downs are not illegal but probably best done on a early quite sun filled morning :clap:laugh1

Have fun...:grin2

[Ride-or-die]

i wouldn't advise even attempting to get your knee down on ANY roundabout in Basildon. Two reasons: 1 the police here will enjoy pulling you for anything..ive been pulled on a 100cc for doing 50 in a 50 zone.. in other words.. they just fancied a tug.:grin2

2. I had a lorry almost swipe me off today on one, i was already on the roundabout indicating to come off and this idiot decided the 'give way' marks obviously dont apply to him and just kept coming.. i couldnt keep going around the roundabout as he blocked BOTH lanes on it where he had come across.. so i slammed the brakes on, followed by everyone behind me doing the same.. theres some real tossers on the road round here mate..:grin2

PM Stu, im sure ive seen a vid of someone looking like him getting kneedown on a roundabout ;) sirens start going and amazingly, he dissapears ;) funniest thing ive seen for ages..
