Who says you need to head abroad to have fun?
Recently the team at Bridgestone UK have been working with Adventure Bike Rider magazine to highlight some of the very best riding routes in the UK, and in the latest issue out now they’ve been checking out Scotland.
The two day trip took them across from Tongue to Dunnet Head (pictured) and John O’Groats, before hugging the coast right down to Inverness and eventually Aberdeen.
Ahead of the trip ABR kitted out their Tiger 800 XC with a pair of Bridgestone’s Battlax Adventure A40 rubber which would prove ideal for tackling some of the neglected roads in the far north of Scotland.
In the magazine they said:
“We teamed up with Bridgestone to ride this route of discovery, and so we fitted our Explorer with a pair of Bridgestone Battlax A40s.
Developed specifically for adventure riding where you’ll be riding over changing services, as is often the case on the back roads of Scotland, the A40s performed admirably well, keeping the Triumph and me upright on the twists and turns.
The ride was smooth and reassuring, even when the rain started falling.”
If you’d like to follow in their footsteps (or should that be tyre tracks?) then you can download the Scotland route file for your SatNav at www.adventurebikerider.com/forum/56-scotland.html.
