As an ex motocross/trails rider l honestly can't see any difficulty riding along this road. It's a road 😅

I rode these passes several times and in both directions in 1956 and 1957. I had a 1955 Ariel Huntmaster 650cc vertical twin, a lovely bike and very comfortable to ride. The road is pretty much how I remember it after all this time although the camera is very much inclined to flatten out the gradient which at times feels almost vertical! 1 in 3 in places. I found the camera panning rather disconcerting , I would have preferred following the road instead ofthe panning. Gear was different then, the only helmet available was the ACU approved racing helmet, just a dome with a leather harness, I wore RAF MkVIII flying goggles as issued to fighter pilots during the war and wore a Barbour suit which was fully weather proof and quite warm with a woollen liner. There was no 'body armour' available at all I always found it a fun ride and quite easy too do, but then I also did a lot of sporting trials riding which was very technical 'off road' although not on the Ariel, rather a Francis Barnett 200cc Villiers 2 stroke engine bike with knobbly tyres and a high ground clearance

Thank you for taking the time to comment. It was my first time attempting the pass, but you quite clearly have some great experiences of tackling this fantastic pass, bucket list ticked for me. You had some great bikes for the time 👍. Agree clothing has moved on leaps and bounds from what it was. I do have another video in 360 which you can hold the position of the camera where you like to get a feel of the road. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3KbiJuumZmBpNksi=Vpn7u1VbQcdHA6Nz

There were a couple of times I should have used 1st gear 👍

Maybe, but you seemed to make it look easy. Have you seen others make some dreadful mistakes…probably never ride a motorbike again…@@savagex367

Wynrose? I keep seeing this spelling. When I were a kid we used to call it Rhino's Pass as that sounded more adventurous. 😉
