If this is the Continental survey then they never tested any roads further than Dumfries in the Scottish borders. How they can possibly say that Zig Zag Hill compares in any way to the Dukes Pass in Aberfoyle defies me and I've been on both.

I think Northwind has it.I don't know the road numbers but if you go from somewhere south of Glen Coe towards Fort William and then head out from there towards Inverness passing Lochs Lochy Oich and Ness you will have experienced some of the best roads anywhere.Are those the ones you mean Northy?

Nah, both of mine are the other way Those roads are brilliant, but these ones have better single bends. The bit on the Glencoe road's not high res enough on Google Earth

But here's the Duke's Pass, or the bit I like best





I couldn't get a pic that really shows the corners, but look at that surface... Better than Knockhill.

Aberfoyle is the smallest town in scotland, as you can see it fits in the corner of abowling green. it won architectural awards for its unique "black dot" concept.

Don't normally attempt it that quick but the ride out put me in the mood for a bit of bravery!!
Before anyone says that they do it faster please bear in mind I'm on a 12 yr old CB500 with naff all suspension travel and mismatched tyres! (Avon something on the front and a Pirelli Sport Demon on the back)
