recent travelled around the highlands, went up and around fort william from dundee then across to loch ness absoulutley stunning, shame i was in athe alfa, loch's were flate cam roads bone dry, and sun was out, truly awsome.

twists and turns and superb flat roads with no bugger living up there they get no use lol. And not a bottle or can of irn bru in sight!

the road from Hawick to Carlisle is very nice. had to drive it for work last year.

there are loads in Wales, around the Elan Valley is nice too.

the tt is a 101 year old event which bikers get together to watch some of the best racers go around street tracks , ie stone walls ,cottages, lamp posts ow and the mountain
a great week and yes no speed limit over the mountain lol i went in my evo and the roads are fast and some brill turns

The B660 , from Kimbolton to Bedford

fantastic road , good mix of fast straights , sweeping bends , tight corners ...

scoff had a video somewhere from my last trip around wales

a back road from just south of bala to lake vyrnwy

not the fastest road in the world and only single lane

but i think most people had fun on it ;)
