This road is at the top of the lane leading to my new house, just after I pulled onto it in Akoya heading towards the A35 I was surprised to see another Akoya silver A2 driven by a lady going the other way towards Cotleigh

I flashed and you waved - we shared a moment ?
 
I know that road well I have a mate living down 7 mile straight Sally and I are regulars as we go to branscome beach every other week ..sometimes call in burrow farm gardens for a cuppa on the way back ..it’s got bumpier on that road over the years ..I’ve done over 140mph on a motorcycle down there many moons ago and you know the road surface in that stretch never been perfect a hairy ride ...your ass can’t stay in the seat ....you live in a nice part ? we are only up the road on the Somerset levels .?
 
It’s much smoother on the actual straight bit (although not 140mph smooth even in a car mins you), but the twisty / hilly bit at my end of it is fairly rough!
 
Yup before the hilly rough bit you have that kink 2/3 way down the straight from 303 it pitches you even in a car ..I know the area well have friends in wambrook and stockland my mate thatched the pub there big roof ?..we had a shoot in stockland stunning rolling Devon countryside ..i will pm you and perhaps call in sometime ..Paul

Ha - I’m currently living in Stockland, you’ll see two A2s parked right on the village crossroads if you drive through here (well, until we move to Dalwood anyway) - Audrey and Akoya!

Just replied to your PM

Forgot to post here - Pretty sure I saw the same car on the same road going the other way last week (unless there’s a glut of Akoya Silver A2s in this very specific part of East Devon!) but this time an elderly gent driving. It was an 05 plate so one of the last made.

Don't think the guy will appreciate that....he's only 35, just haggered looking and terrified every time he drives on that road at the thought of experiencing another motorcycle doing 140mph again! ?
