A Tenerife Adventure Episode 2 - The Best Road I have Ever Ridden The Insane Road to Masca

After a very nice coffee on Mount Teide, I’m off again, this time heading South to the mountain town of Masca
The TF-436, The Best Road I have Ever Ridden, The Insane Road to Masca, is a beast of a road. It’s tight bend after insanely tight bend, steep up hills then plunge down again. It’s so narrow you have to crawl past other vehicles, the maddest thing of all, it’s a bus route! Fill size coaches come steaming around the bends.
Look out for the bus that almost takes me out on a bend. I had stopped, but he didn’t even slow, I had to lean the bike over and even then, he brushed the pannier. Exciting or what?
I needed the coffee at the little bodega just outside Masca, it’s a lovely little place, they don’t speak English and it’s cash only, 2 euro for a lovely coffee it’s a bargain.
Grab a Sangria or a nice cuppa and let’s ride in the sunshine.
Ride safe, Dave.

    Hi, Great video. I'm the chap on the Meteor you met yesterday in the panoramic layby near Castleton. I now realise that I've watched quite a few of your videos - great stuff - keep up the good work. I shall definitely be taking in the road to Masca again soon - this time on a motorcycle ...... stay safe, I'll hopefully bump into you again. Pete

    There are plenty of fantastic off road tracks you can ride if you have the right bike. I've ridden all over the island over many years on motorbikes and mountain bikes 👍

    Nice ride Dave, thanks for showing us the roads, technical for some folks but too many cars and busses, might have to rent the Triumph when we visit next time and enjoy the views.

    Ay up Dave, great to know that there's someone else out there who gets as uncontrollably excited about spectacular roads as I do! Brilliant commentary buddy, that's definitely my sort of road, and you're on what has to be pretty much the ideal bike. Thanks for this. 😎

    What a great ride! My old Classic 500 always backfired a lot on the downhills; sounded like a popcorn maker! I should have used the rear brake instead of engine braking, I guess.

    What a great ride on a road with spectacular scenery,although to be taken with a lot of care & concentración at a steady pace. I don’t envy the riders on large motorcycles with pillions on that route at all. I reckon if you hadn’t already sourced a replacement for Ivy, a 500 could have been a contender? Hope the rest of the Hol was enjoyable.

    Hi Martin, you're right, if I hadn't got my new 350 it would have been the 500. I loved riding it. I was glad I wasn't on a bigger bike as well. Ride safe, Dave

    For me the 350 is a knuckeling super Rocket😂 because, my last ride is 20 years ago! So am vergangenen happy with the one cylinder super Rocket, it does his job wonderfull, and the landscape isnt fast away all the time, i have more from all

    Where did you set off from, was it the bike rental place, so you'd have been heading east to West across to Masca 😊 my son and myself are planning to go in Nov for a 5 day bike ride on the island 🏝️👍🏻
