Talking Dukes Pass - how good does this look?

I wanna go to Scotland NOW!

YouTube - The Dukes Pass on an SV650S

Guess a few guys on here know this road pretty well. Is it as good as it looks?

I can indeed confirm that the Duke's Pass is awesome...... just up the road from me too. Also to those slagging push bikes the other day, I've overtaken plenty of cars on the way down using just pedal power. Don't think I'd get past a well driven Subaru mind!

If it's ever nice weather this year, i think i might have to take a trip there before i bid farewell to the STi.

It's only 60 miles away. (Hope there's some bloody Shells near by though).

True. I have about 12 miles of my own Super Special Stage right outside the door.

I spent a week's holiday in that cottage that appears from 02:58 - 03:03

Great for one of those get away from it all type breaks, just all the w*nkers tear-ars*ng past on their bikes spoil it!!

Nah it's a great location, and it's a great drivers road..

All roads in Scotland are fantastic. The further north you go the quieter they get and the faster you can (and do) go!!!!

Will do. New one is getting fitted a week tomorrow, but we'd be better waiting on some decent weather first! Will PM you at the time anyway.
