TorqueyT,
Good trip and excelent roads. sounds like your getting to know the bike, on those roads most of the time third and fourth gears are all you need to have some serious fun. Although there are some seriosly fast long snaking stretches.
Or stick it in top and just cruise taking in the scenery.
Take note the A82 Loch Lomond-Inverness, A84 Stirling-A85 Lix Toll and the A85 Perth-Chrianlarich are heavily patrolled by an unmarked police blackbird an unmarked fireblade and at least one unmarked Subaru Impreza.
Unfortunately some of those roads have had their fair share of fatalities over the years, and a common collision is the head on, quite often with cagers not used to driving on the left. In fact two young men were killed a couple of weeks ago on these very roads in two separate incidents, one of which was a head on.
But a sad fact is some sports bike riders go beyond their own capabilities and end up wrapped round a tree.
I spent all day yesterday driving (not the bike) round Aberdeenshire and found several fantastic roads I hadn't been on before, enough good roads to spend two or three days there.
Another area for the archives.
Hey TT, next time you're up in my neck of the woods give me a shout, I make a mean coffee, good and strong Italien style.
