Central Scotland and Arran - 12 Motorcycle Roads

A7 : Gorebridge - Langholm
Central Scotland and Arra..., United Kingdom
January 4, 2005 - 3.6

A high speed section with quite a few straights and some nice high speed corners. As this is main road, there's not much room for error (run off) available on the corners, so be careful

A701 : Howgate - Moffat (The Devils Beeftub)
Central Scotland and Arra..., United Kingdom
January 20, 2005 - 4.1

Rural in character this road is quiet (even at peak times). Lots of twisties, some straights and even a climb over the hills just before Moffat. To get back to the start head up the M74 to Abington and then on to the A702. Stop at the Dolphinton teatooms for a break then head home - a great Sunday m...

A702 : Loanhead - Abington
Central Scotland and Arra..., United Kingdom
January 4, 2005 - 3.0

Fast section running alongside the Clyde. A lot of fast straights with some good corners to keep your interest up. Can be some traffic heading for the motorway, but it is mostly still good.

A713 : Ayr - Castle Douglas
Central Scotland and Arra..., United Kingdom
December 31, 2005 - 4.0

A cracking run which gets really nice South of Dalmellington. Between Dalmellington and Loch Ken there are loads of nice twisties. Some of the road surface has been replaced in recent years but there are still stretches of old stuff. After Loch Ken the road straightens out a little on teh way to Cas...

A760 (Largs Rd) : Largs - Johnstone
Central Scotland and Arra..., United Kingdom
December 10, 2004 - 3.3

Nice road that climbs up to the Muirhead Reservoir where there is a good selection of open sweeping bends, some nice overtaking straights and a few tighter twisties. Road condition is good and minimal police presence

A809 : Bearsden - Drymen
Central Scotland and Arra..., United Kingdom
November 23, 2004 - 3.0

A nice selection of straights, sweeping bends (including a couple of little jumps:-)) The Carbeth Inn a recommended stopping point on this route.

A815 : Gourock - Strachur (Scenic route into West Highlands, Scotland)
Central Scotland and Arra..., United Kingdom
June 1, 2005 - 3.8

For those of you touring Western Scotland and wishing to by-pass Glasgow and start the scenery show as early as possible: Take the Gourock/Dunoon Ferry from Gourock (just before Greenock on the A78 coast road) Ferries run every hour and it's a twenty minute crossing. Once on the other side of the...

A817 : Arden ( Loch Lomond ) - Garelochhead
Central Scotland and Arra..., United Kingdom
December 10, 2004 - 3.5

There are some really good fast sweepers on this route, it was formerly an MoD road that was later opened to traffic. Great fun but watch out for small animals

Arrochar road
Central Scotland and Arra..., United Kingdom
March 7, 2011 - 2.0

From the roundabout at whistlefield head north on the A814 towards Arrochar, plenty of bumps and jumps to enjoy, nice scenery and relatively quiet. Watch out for dozy fishermen and campers pulling out from layby's. When you get to Arrochar enjoy a roll and a cuppa with Dunky in the Pit Stop Diner.

B709 : Dewar - Langholm
Central Scotland and Arra..., United Kingdom
June 8, 2011 - 5.0

If you like undulating, roller-coaster relaxed rides, then this is for you. Probably not the best for a sports bike speed merchant, but for a supermoto, or a tourer, this is fabulous. It starts in a very hilly area, and its ALL single track with passing spaces only. There are lots of sheep and catt...

B769 : Stewarton - Thornliebank
Central Scotland and Arra..., United Kingdom
January 5, 2005 - 4.5

Some fast sections, and a great downhill corkscrew section, that makes you feel like Ben Bostrom! Although quite narrow in places.

to the Highlands
Central Scotland and Arra..., United Kingdom
February 5, 2011 - 4.0

Very scenic and a good little cafe in Kinlochard plus the Forth Inn in Aberfoyle. Also Glengoyne distillery at Dumgoyne... but don't drink and ride.
