I bought my first bike 2 years ago. Last year for the first time I ventured past Loch Lomond. It was a sunny warm summers day, all those brown bushes on the landscape in your video where bright purple heather in bloom, lush green trees and grass, clear blue loch waters. Seeing the mountains in the sun and the wild flowers covering the ground, it was breathtaking. Its the first time I've been to Glen Coe since I was a toddler, I fell back in love with Scotland that day. Never forget it.

Fantastic series of videos, brings back good memories. Born in Oban and growing up in Argyll, I love this scenery. I used to drive to Glasgow and back on my GS550(great bike) frequently, and to Aberdeen Uni, all fantastic roads for a bike. On the other hand, the old Loch Lomond (not the new one you used here) used to run right along loch side. It was much narrower so navigating the tight corners with oncoming traffic, particularly lorries was 'fun', and sometimes skidmark-inducing lol.

Did the pass of Glencoe on my little Honda CLR-125 a few years back, used all the back roads the cyclists use to get up there from Sheffield, after pass of Glencoe I went across on the Corran Ferry and right out to Resipole campsite at the edge of Loch Sunart, was a wonderful journey and being on such a little bike out in the massive expanse of the Scottish islands just felt amazing, the last day I rode all the way back to Sheffield from Resipole in one day, around 450 miles with the route I took, got home at 10pm and climbed off the bike fresh as a daisy, what an amazing little bike that was, watched your great review of the Suzuki Vstrom 250 and went on to purchase one 👍🏻 another amazing little bike that I’m hoping to do this journey on later in the year, Scotland is a wonderful place to be on a motorcycle but it can be hard up there, the bloody midges will eat you alive and there can still be snow on the tops in summer, the weather can turn like that, but once you get past green welly stop, your eyes are just on stalks 👍🏻

Hey TMF great video as always , I'm absolutely loving this as it reminds me what I did a few years ago on my old GS. By the way the Explorer has gone as I just didn't quite gel so I've bought a new lowered GSA and it's amazing and ready to start clocking up some miles. Thanks for the incentive with this video and keep them coming. All the best. JJ

Great film; I did the Glencoe valley in March, with a friend, on the way to Skye. We both agreed, as you said, it is the best motorcycling either of of have ever done - superb roads and scenery.

TheMissendenFlyer Yes, we went to Kyle of Lochalsh, Portree, Armadale, ferry across to Mallaig where we spent the night. Next day back to Fort William then down to Oban, Lochgilphead, Inverary and on to Bute for the last night in Rothesay. Last day was ferry back to mainland and back to Liverpool. Absolutely superb trip with a long single track, B8000, section between Leachd and Otter Ferry below Inverary. About 250 miles a day, about the right distance for that type of riding I think. Next time we'll do your route!

I am incredibly envious and you are a cruel man indeed for showing me such fabulous roads I'll probably never have the joy of riding ;-) That's a ride I'd have to do twice - once for the scenery and once for the roads... Yahoooo! ;-)
