    It may slow you down, but it looks cool as fook :)
    I still haven't managed it yet, but its just a case of body positioning to get there.

    To be honest the road leading up to those mountain hairpins is where I really have the most fun, with fast sweeping bend after fast sweeping bend.

    Oh you know that road has a few (I can fllllyyyyyyyyy) moments mate :)
    The stretch right before the big jump that leads through the valley is where I really open up the bike and let it sing.
    No matter how hard I try I can't help but smile as I come up to that point.

    thats a great stretch of road, good surface, wide open bends it reminds me of mountain section on the TT circuit.

    Reminds me of the A537 "Cat & Fiddle" in my neck of the woods too :)

    It's called the Devils Beeftub, lots of BT covers on the racing line dropping into Moffat, there's lots of excellent roads in Dumfries & Galloway & not a fixed camera to be seen.

    Sshhhh. Don't give all out secrets away.

    I had a hard enough time trying to get rid of them all when we done the Scotland Tour ;)
