[mylucaitalia]

Beautiful landscapes, you made me want to come back in Scotland and this time with the bike!

Where you located exactly?

[frglee]

I live up in the hills near where this vid was filmed,some 40km from Dumfries,Southern Scotland

[mylucaitalia]

Thanks for the information, I hope to come back soon.

[cb500boy]

@mylucaitalia know your not asking me but i live about 20miles from that road. it called the leadhills road by some and its stunnin. not fast but nice. better than anythi in italy (if that what italia means)

[enigma185]

Nice video & nice bike! Makes me want to go back to Scotland and takin' a ride. :-)

[gizmo863]

Are these bikes good for the commute to work ? Been offered a pre-reg very cheap and getting sick of throwing my 1200 sportster about every day. Thanks.

[frglee]

It would probably make a great commute bike .... its also a good all rounder and handles well in traffic and also great fun on country lanes and tracks...Even works well for touring.Cheap,cheerful,solid and Honda reliabilty gaurantees a pleasing bike and even one you can have some fun on. Google for reviews,most are pretty fair. Plus points :value for money,practicality,handling,so­lid build and reliable engine,good fun! minus points,looks,eats chains and rear tyres.

[needs Scottoiler!]

[gizmo863]

Thanks mate ! £4k for a 57 Reg sounds great with 0 miles. I'll give it a bash then !

[ascioglu43]

they r riding on the wrong side of the road!

hhheheh

[ozcan9911]

Sheep?! Try hitting a roo at 110 kph. His leather jacket didn't protect him (d-e-a-d) and mine didn't help much either: 16 stainless fittings in my right leg... . Great ride on a brilliant motorcycle (later model than mine... ) Paul (XLV750, XLV600, XRV750)

[Armadyllo]

Nice vid, nice ride... espero que algun dia en mi vida voy a dar un paseo por Escòcia...

[SharpeyN]

All Transalp owners - go to Fort William on early May Bank Holiday, for the start of the Scottish Six Day Trial, and use watching the trials riders as an excuse for a week of riding around the highlands along with hundreds of other bikers.

I go each year, and although I know a number of the trial riders, I really use it as an excuse to watch a couple of days of trialling, and the rest of my time is split between rides out on the Transalp, and kayaking. Perfect holiday.

[teddanger]

Killer sheep everywhere..... I like the TA so much, I've got two 89's.  Lamb chops anyone?

[DUQUE350]

Nice bike, nice ride. Thanks for sharing.

[StewedTomato]

Thanks for the ride !

[larathabal]

well nice bike nice roads, nice scenery, i can bet for sure for the camera... its a kodak isnt it ???!:)

[frglee]

Ah,relax... the Scottish sheep up here are pretty savvy and I have not killed myself yet in 35 years of biking {grin}

[RythymJunkie]

True what you say about Scottish sheep, they are very courteous, unlike Derbyshire sheep which are quite suicidal!

[seamusdel]

will you slow down theres crazy sheep right beside the road.trying to to kill yourself?

[dodi4700]

N I C E

[incongra]

The only thing I would change is the tyres. I don't like tubed tyres. And a lower seat would be nice..and shaft drive oh yes and ABS... whoops I've just described a doughville!!! seriously I love my TA to bits, just the way it is... happy riding mate

[incongra]

the TA was just MADE for roads like that. What year's yours, is that a clock and a PETROL GAUGE you are sporting there? - mines ( '97) lacks such refinements!!

[frglee]

Yep its the 2004 model...Still pretty basic I guess compared to,say,the Varadero but the TA still has a lot of fans out there.

[frglee]

It's the B797 from the A76 near Sanquhar to Wanlockhead and Leadhills in Scotland...and yes it is a really nice little run to the 'highest village in Scotland'

[johnmcaulay]

Which road is this in the video ?

Looks like a really nice one,

[sofalofa2006]

I know that road! Nice one mate... I've done that on my Triumph Tiger... couldn't agree more about the speed comment! Take care...
