    In 2006, I did an Anticlockwise tour of Scotland starting in co Durham and going up the east coast, along the top and back down the west coast before going round the Isle of Skye. I did a lot of zig zagging along the way going inland to various places such as Tomintoul, Avimore, Applecross as well as numerous other places and used campsites all the way with the only exception being 1 night in the hotel at John O Groats. My base layers etc were washed in the on suite facilities and dried on the radiators in the room. I covered around 1400 miles in 9 days with a 2 day stop at one campsite because of torrential rain . One of the best times I had on my 650 Bandit. Who needs to go touring abroad on a motorbike when Scotland can give you so much, providing of course, the weather is kind to you.

    Having been part of the 2023 Scotland tour - totally awesome. It is a riding tour not a sight seeing tour but you can ride at your pace and it you fancy pushing yourself then there's always the crew at the front to ride with.
    Will I be doing this again - hell yes, booked up for 2024.
    Make sure your tires are good, a comfy seat and look forward to the best riding out there.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this series TP1. And best of all these roads don't necessitate a 4 day ride to get there, don't involve an overnight ferry, don't involve catching a plane with all the issues of taking kit, and you don't need to visit a money exchange. I'm off to Muir of Ord in June for a week and looking to do some serious miles exploring the Highlands.

    Loved this series Bruce 👍🏼 so much so, the mrs & me are looking at doing the highlands again this summer, instead of our plans of doing south uk into northern France.
    The difference with riding those roads to what we ride in the high peak Derbyshire, is when you say “ this is an awesome road” , is in the highlands that road is 40/60 miles long 😁
    In Derbyshire ( my local roads ) the same quote is around 5/7 miles 🤣
    Love the highlands 👌

    @markneblett2777 5 месяцев назад +31

    Great series, Bruce. A suggestion: Occasionally you have, um, "technical difficulties" in the videos when your speedometer is not legible. ;) You might want to check whether those difficulties are "prone to spread" over to the gear position indicator and the rpm display. Reason: The GS's tranny gear ratios, final drive ratio and rear wheel diameter are readily available numbers. With the currently selected gear and the rpm, one can easily multiply out the numbers and get actual ground speed even if the speedo is not visible. You know better than most how much holier-than-thou people are itching to snitch, even if you are thoughtful about where/when it is safe and appropriate to be doing what you're doing. With all the necessary numbers, a prosecutor's job is easier. Feel free to delete this comment if you are concerned about the content.

      @JimGDMAC 5 месяцев назад

      Living in Scotland I can only say the roads are great but easily beaten by many of them in the Black Forest and the Alps. I don't follow the type of riding here as I like to look at the scenery as well as the road so stay within the limits for the roads, I don't treat them like a race track. I now ride one of those three wheeled things, a Spyder RTL, great for long trips, only drawback is you can't filter due to it's width.
