...is the bestest place to get yer rocks off . I had the pleasure of riding Nellie thru the tunnel last nite not only to pay a visit south of the river but particularly to listen to the Paso's race cans reverberate...
I was not disappointed

Any other saddos out there

Don't think I've ever ridden any of my bikes through a tunnel .. one of the downsides of living somewhere as flat as Lincolnshire I guess. I asume Blackwall Tunnel is in London somewhere is it?

Riding nelly through a tunnel eh???

At Rockingham they have a couple of tunnels under the track which are superb for some helmetless revving!

Hyde Park Corner underpass - fantastic!

Indeed it is - links north to south - the tunnel goes under the Thames so is quite long with a couple of bends.... has been renamed the Noise Appreciation tunnel cos it's mostly tiled BC

I may just have to have a go at this one BC

and when you come out of the blackwall, you are 2 minutes from the limehouse link - just watch out for the speed cameras.

Try it during rush hour with loud pipes and watch the cars part like the red sea!

Try Italy.... tunnels that go on and on and on

Dartford Tunnel's good. Especially after Brands when there are streams of bikes passing thru. I love the sound of a V twin with open pipes on the over-run. Makes all those jap 4 cylinder machines sound like a bee fartin in a tin can!

So true - my other bike's a jap V twin/scorpion and sounds awesome on the overrun... inline 4 can't hear 'em but the Duc's the best! BC
