If you could only ride your Tiger on one road, which would it be. It may be a road you've only ridden once en-route somewhere and which left a lasting impression or it may be a road which you know well and ride regularly just because its good.

I suppose it could be the A686 coming down from Alston in Cumbria towards Penrith. So far as I can remember thats the only road I've literally stopped, turned round, and rode it again! Maybe it was the mood I was in that day but its certainly worth checking out.

There are so many really good roads up here in Scotland, and one of the things that makes them so good is the lack of traffic, outwith the towns and cities of course.

I discovered a belter just the other day, in fact the day before the heavy snow arrived.

The road from Alyth up into Gen Isla and take the road for Blackwater resevior, the kind of road only a tiger could make the best of. I was tempted to turn around and do it again but the road was starting to glisten with frost so I thought better of it.

I have my favourites but I tend to just go out and explore.
