Up past Knockhill over to Crianlarich, down past Loch Lomond, over to Stirling then home.
About 250 miles and I’m knackered.
It’s hard work on those kind of roads with a heavy bike 2 up.
Hopefully it’ll be a bit easier when I get my new tyres on.
I know that route well ....too much bloody tourist traffic on most of it till you turn off at Balloch and on the homeward leg towards Stirling
I ride most days depending on which bike i am using. If its for my own use i have the Multistrada to play on and make me giggle. If its work i am on the Fazer 600 and its mostly low speed training for 125 and 50 cc mounted students. Had some fun the other day with a pair of lads who wanted to tune up their skills on 125's so took them on the 600cc A license test routes for a bit of a play. Both can ride well so wont be long till we get them through and on big bikes although the biggest block now is the lack of DVSA test slots.
We used to get 5 or 6 slots twice a week for Mod 2 , now we are getting 3-4 a week due to "covid" so you can guess the backlog mounting up as we have lots of Mod 1 slots and an excellent pass rate so mounting up a queue of people waiting for the Mod 2 road test
