A11 to: Fakenham
If you join the A1065 at the Mildenhall, Thetford round-about and head north towards Swaffam. A lovely route that goes on for about 35 miles, twisties, straights (160Mph+ on a ZZ-R600) and nice little lips of round-abouts. There are a few police, though they're not too bright and tend to wait in very slow sections where you are well under the 60MPh limit. Once at Fakenham, you can either go left to King Lynne (on the fast A148) or right to Norwich also on the A148.
Carronbridge to: Elvanfoot
Found this by accident last summer. Take A76 North from Dumfries and pick up the A702 at Carronbridge heading North East to Elvanfoot. Narrow, swinging and sweeping, good cross views. Then take the B7040 to Leadhills, very narrow, very switchback, very twisty and sheep ridden, and finally the B797 through Wanlochead (highest village in Scotland) more of the same before joining A76 again. Perhaps not best enjoyed on anything less than a large trailie or supermoto, but very challenging. Finally if Wendy Cunningham sees this, try my e mail again, your return address didn't work.
Bridgnorth to: Cleobury Mortimer
The best road in Shropshire, and it has just re-opened after part of it collasped into one of the many valleys that it crosses. Either follow it all the way to Cleobury Mortimer or turn off left at Kinlet and follow the B4194 to Bewdley through the Wyre Forest. Probably a little tight & twisty for full on sports bikes, but get yourself a supermoto and you'll be in heaven. Plenty of first gear hairpins & hill crests for the all important wheelies. Enjoy, you will not be disapointed.
Garve to: Lochcarron
Built with money from the EU to allow the fish lorries to get up and down easier, this is a wonderful full-throttle or gentle cruising road. Starting 1km north of Garve, the A832 gets you warmed up for the main course after the roundabout at Achnasheen. The A890 is beautifully surfaced, sweeping full throttle curves, no trees, great scenery past Fionn Beinn, Moruisg and others. The only hazards are the ubiquitous woolly bollards as our Shetland friend names them and deer crossing. No police, no cameras but plenty of action. The last few miles are single track to allow your pulse to slow down. Can be combined with the Garve-Ullapool road mentioned above for a great day run.
