Ooh, I can sense a wee weekend run coming along here. Saturday meet at McDonalds Balloch for 10am leaving 10:30am or 10:45am. Route will be dished out by me via a printout for the attendees..... Leaving it a surprise but the newbies will be pleased to hear it incorporates the WW

Awesome route, one of my favourite routes, got some nice technical bits to it.

Wibbly Wobbly was the first road I ever got airborne on in a hire car. Happy days.

Too twisty for me mind you (same same the Dukes) but it has to be done.

the wibby wobbly is the best road in the world, I love it love it love it, miss it miss it miss it. dont like dukes at all, too many sheer drops, buses, gravel. wasnt so keen on WW with the raptor, it kept shaking its head, the SV was fantastic for it. 2nd gear nearly all the way, 55mph woohoo. my daughter stupidly decided to hook her feet under the pegs to try a nd stop leaving the seat, forgetting that they spring up, nearly left her in the loch that time lol. Popular road for the IAM too. Had some great runs along there chasing Dean and running away from Tony - (not the road for the ducati - excuses excuses)

Yep, SV can't get enough power down to shake it's head on the WW, but the way you can basically jump, land and switch direction immediately is what I love the SV for, you can basically skip and jump your way up the WW.

The only road I can get the SV to shake it's head on is full throttle over the crests on the road from dunfermline up to knockhill (who had a big crash there?), but then I am quite fat ba$tard.

My vote goes to Callander to Strathyre (but only if you get the road to yourself.....so that will be a World Cup Final day or something similar!)
