Has anyone been on these roads before?

I can only claim that I have been on part of the Van Zyl's pass in Namibia in 1999/ 2000 in a 4x4 truck.
Wow some of these would make fantastic bike roads [moto] Tongue

It even shows the road they did on Top Gear last night. (Bolivia Special)

Drove a dodge charger on number 5.
Driving from LAX to Johsua Tree.
All was going well until a wrong lane had me rollin' thru Compton

Often wrong. Never in doubt.

I've both ridden and driven #1 - Col de Turini.... and same applies to the much more boring #18 - Spaghetti Junction....  but the most memorable of em was #15 - Los Caracoles, ("the road requires extreme patience and skill to negotiate" << do I get a discount on my insurance now?  Wink) ascending from the coastal plains of Santiago to the Argentine side of the high Andes.  Sadly done in an Argentine-bulit Fiat Duna (an aptly named vehicle if ever there was one) rather than on 2 wheels...

OK I think I did 1&2 plus plenty more on my trusty CB250 two up with panniers and tank bag - that would have been around 1981. I recall doing the Albula Pass (not using the tunnel but the old pass road over the top) and getting stuck in the snow........then there was that incident with the cows............memories...............

Did 5 in a rental car several times but never really got a good look as I was too focussed on getting into the right (I mean correct) lane depending on my destination.
