10 Minutes Of EPIC NC500 Highland Roads - A896 From Torridon To Shieldaig - Triumph Bonneville POV
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- One of the best stretches of road on the Notth Coast 500 route, the A896 starting just a few miles shy of Torridon and heading westbound towards the beautiful village of Shieldaig for a night of moto camping in the summer of 2022. This is the full, almost uncut footage of this entire route, filmed in glorious 4K, with just the relaxing sounds of the bike (plus a little wind noise) to enjoy. This route is incredibly popular among bike guys and car guys and it's not hard to see why once you get going. It's pretty fast, quite twisty in places and requires a lot of concentration due to the fairly sketchy sections of old single track road, but it's an absolute belter. The North Coast 500 should be on all motorcyclists bucket list and is well worth checking out.

Rode it in 2019, also with a bonnie. I did not know then it would be the last trip with my dad. Bittersweet memories! Thank you!
That’s rough mate, but what an awesome last trip to have taken with your old man. You’re welcome, thank you 👍🏻
Stunning roads! Subscribed great vids
Thank you mate, much appreciated 👍🏻
I haven't ridden it but I drove it back in the summer of 2009 in my son's car. Spectacular! Would have loved to have ridden it.
It’s never too late David mate! I bet it was still pretty fun on 4 wheels mind.
@@GLoveMoto Actually it is too late. I'm 81 in February and broke a hip in October '01 It's taking a long time to heal, but I don't think I'll ever get back to the UK.
Nice video, yes I have rode it, I’m lucky I now live just east of Inverness so am able to get across to the west coast as often as possible, the roads are spectacular on a bike, looking forward to the longer days to get back again, thanks for the video 👍
Ahh man, some of the finest roads right on your door step, I’m jealous. Yeah me too, I’m hoping to get up to visit Skye this year when it starts getting a bit warmer. Thanks for watching Mike 👍🏻
@@GLoveMoto Skye is terrific,just make sure you visit early in the year before the midge’s come out because they will eat you alive, believe me I speak from personal experience, all the best
Oh I know mate, I made the mistake of doing the NC500 in august. Lesson learned, them midges are relentless haha. I’m thinking of going in early may so should be alright then I’d say. Thanks for the heads up though 👍🏻
The NC500 is on our to do list. I have family outside of inverness, i was hoping to do a Scottish run from my home in wales last Oct. Maybe in summer.
I've subscribed after a UA-cam suggestion.
Ride safe, Lady J Rider
It’s a must ride, well worth the long journey up there. Just watch out for the midges in the summer time. They’re brutal. Many thanks, much appreciated. Always do, same to you 👌🏻👍🏻
Well I made through the video! Which again was an awesome ride. Not done the ride yet, but hopefully in the coming year, usual Terms and Conditions apply. I assume you went around anticlockwise? Is that better? I also have to say, I get a little concerned about your keys flapping around in the wind......Cheers.
Thanks Mike, much appreciated 😁. You’ll love it mate, it’s spectacular. I did go anticlockwise yes, I think it’s better as the scenery gets more impressive as the go. 😂 yeah they do seem to flap rather aggressively. Thanks for watching mate 👍🏻.
